    One solution to end the server woes...

    SE needs to implement an AFK timer. Period. The reason why the servers are full is that people have realized that they will not get kicked out if they leave the game running. This is also the reason why the que system is not working correctly, where you will get in a que, and then go to login and it states that the world is full. This is the reason why the login servers are going down constantly because everyone is hitting the login servers repeatedly due to error 1017. Every other game that I can think of has an AFK timer of some sort. Why the devs did not think about this is beyond me, but I hope they put something in place. And if you flame me because of the suggestion (which by now i assume it is considered beating a dead horse), then you are part of the reason the rest of us can not have an enjoyable game experience, so thanks.

    I actually think it's getting worse too. :/ I used to be able to get in after about 30-45 mins, now I usually can't get in at all. Also, during off-peak hours, I'd be able to log in without difficulty. Now, the worlds are full even in the middle of the night or in the early morning--I'm thinking a lot of people are staying logged in for fear of experiencing what... most of us are experiencing. @_@

    Yes only after they sold however many times more copies of the game than their servers can bare lol. They have money now, the money that we paid for the game, so that they can now go add servers to let us start playing the game. See how it works?

    I wont lie, I finally made it in game but I will not be logging out. With that being said I will not go AFK, I will simply pee in a container and not move from this game.

    Blame the PS3-players ... if everybody would just log out when they finished playing we wouldn't have any problems. Well ... men are egoists ..

    Adding Server Capacity without kicking AFK players won't change anything. AFKing started as a way to stay in with crappy server capacity, and raising the server capacity won't be convincing enough to some players: we've all had troubles getting on the past week. The players who get on will still AFK, there will just be more AFKers.
