    Skipped over in the Queue

    I have been trying to log after getting kicked and keep getting the 1017 message so I keep trying. Finally I get the queue message says "68 people" so I'm thinking cool I'm getting in soon. I try 2 more times and then I start getting the 1017 message again and haven't got in. What happening I get skipped over or pushed out of the queue or something?

    EXACTLY the same as me! Why is this even happening? It's a queue, right? Isn't the point of a queue that you stay in line til you can get in? So why then are we getting skipped over in the queue? It's complete BS.

    Nope. We're doing the usual thing of waiting in line, sat back at our desks, and/or (for PS3 users) putting the controller to one side. The problem most definitely is people ARE being booted from the queues.

    I have been booted repeatedly from queues. I wouldn't be surprised if people were writing scripts to bypass the queues

    The way you worded this seems to imply that upon getting the message that there is 68 people in queue, you are closing that message and trying to log in again. If that is the case then you are leaving the queue. When you end up getting the queue message, do not close it and just wait, it will refresh itself automatically and you will get in (or not, sometimes it will still 1017 you but it at least FEELS like odds are better).

    Yeah, I read it that when he got the queue he closed it and tried again only to get the 1017 error. That's bad.

    ok this is what happens 3 things you need to know.

    There is an artificial cap they put in place on the servers which is lower then the actual cap of the server.
    They use the Queue system to control the flow of people logging in to the server.
    They turn on and off the queue system as needed to control this flow.

    So what happens you try and log in... server is at artificial cap. You get 1017. All of a sudden a bunch of people log out and the server is blow the threshold of the artificial cap. So they turn on the queue system. So now 100 people in queue. Say the first 50 of the bring the server back up to that artificial cap. the other 50 then get booted out of the queue and get 1017 when the system shuts off the queue.

    To prevent this from happening, we felt that the safest course of action would be to limit logins. However, we would like you to know that the restrictions are under constant surveillance. We are currently monitoring login numbers on all Worlds 24 hours a day, and actively removing/applying restrictions as soon as we detect even the smallest fluctuation in concurrent connection numbers.

    Well every other time I have seen that I have hit ok tried to log in again and then the number has gone down, I''m on PS3 I don't think it auto refreshes.

    Edit: To clarify I'm not sure how the PC logging in works but on the PS3 when you get he 1017 it takes you back to the start/opening movie screen. If you get the queue message it takes you to the character select screen. When I get the queue message I just hit ok and select my char again to try to log in again i don't ever back out of the character select screen.
