Four words: MORE LOBBY SERVERS PLEASE

[binarybeer]

dude i logged in at like 5 am, then went to work for like 10 hours, had this awesome 10 course dinner went i got home, then hooked up with gf for like 16 hours, and now i finally get to level after being AFK all that time

You can't really blame them. It's not like booting AFKers alone would make near enough space for the sheer number of people who can't log in right now.

It would be a good start. 1hr AFK boot timer. I would like to see it.

[FireHero]

1 hour seems good to me that's plenty time for me to walk to local shop buy more booze get back and still have time to cook food then still have 10mins to spare before being kicked.

[Ryuko]

One hour is fair.

I also would like to see a temporary 'reserve' on your spot after you DC. Five minutes would be fair. For example: let's say you're in a dungeon, halfway through. Then you DC. You won't be able to log back in because of the error (or queue if you are lucky). It can be very frustrating if you DC at just the 'wrong' time. The reserve would protect these people from losing their spot.

On that note, I would like to see a longer queue. According to one friend, they haven't seen a higher number than 150 in the queue. Any higher than that and it just tells you 'sorry, busy, try again later'. If the queue was longer, people could patiently wait in that queue until it was their turn rather than having to spam. I wouldn't mind waiting 10 minutes if it meant I didn't have to be spamming for 30 minutes HOPING I got a spot.

Blame SE for underestimating the number of players, not those who actually want to play. I can't feel bad towards anyone staying logged in after trying to log in for hours on end. Maybe if they implemented a working queue...

[CyanDvai]

Yesterday I saw a queue that was 350.... I sat there for about 5 minutes then got the 1017 error.

Though I agree I would like to see a forced disconnect after an hour but even then there are ways to avoid it.

To borrow from another topic what I believe would be best would to implement the force logout, and when they get the new servers up and running give everyone (Legacy Players included) at least one free transfer to another world. This may alleviate some of the congestion in the over populated worlds.

Very sorry you are all upset. I am guilty of afking all day while at work.
If I am kicked I have my alarm set for 5am edt just to double check I'm still logged in. If I lost connection, it is very easy to log back in at that time.
even if I was disconnected, nothing can destroy my log in macro.
I use a nostromo, and make a macro that hits 0 over and over faster than I can push the button myself, and it's set on a toggle switch.
Hit my macro, go to dinner, come home, and I'll be spamming holy on cd, but hey, I'm playing. Thankfully.
don't hate the player, hate the game...
