Queue vs. Error 1017

[bwalker36]

THey set up a queue, but when the servers were still crashing they also set up an artificial population limit. So when the servers are over populated you get the 1017 error. When pop drops you get queued up, though the queue mechanic is messed up because it shouldn't ever allow a queue higher than the pop limit which it seems to do because you can get queued and then get a 1017.

That doesn't make any sense as the point of a queue is for people trying to log in past the pop limit. I just think they have very low queues because queues on login are stressing the queues on duty finder thus double stressing and crashing stuff.

You're right, it doesn't make sense, but it's exactly what's happening. The queue should work that every person over the pop limit gets in line, but that's not what it's doing it's behaving as if there's a soft limit that allows a queue and a hard one that brings up 1017. When the hard limit of people in the world is reached it's dropping 1017 on the rest of the people in the queue. Nearly every 1017 thread I've read has at least a few people who mention getting 1017'ed from a queue. It happens to me so frequently that I barely even notice it anymore.

Yeah this has happened to me too. And I was like 12 in queue.
