    Things I'm excited about: being able to find groups with ease, and easier contact with people. things I'm not excited about: queueing and waiting 20min to log in

    My house actors have stopped speaking to me, Daybreak.

    edit: No, they were talking, I just had chat scrolled up for some reason. Turns out I was basically ignoring my poor house actors all along.

    This.^^ I was able to log onto one character, and ever since telling it to camp to the next character, I've been waiting in a queue for 15 minutes, and during this time the numbers keep going up and up and up, Right now it says minutes, but I seriously doubt I'm going to get in at all.

    If this is the result of the merge, exactly WHY did we need this? I was looking forward to seeing new people in the game, but not at the cost of not being able to log in!

    Ty Dev's for the continued work you're doing on the server to get things working right. It might have taken longer than anticipated but things don't seem too broken atm.
    TY to the players for making the forums a fun/interesting way to pass the down time.
    I'm looking forward to meeting new people on the new server over the next few days and weeks to come.

    I wonder if the server isn't ready for the influx of people trying to log on at the same time, DB may have a set limit for now on how many can get in at a time to prevent a major crash or other glitches.
    I hope you're able to get into the game soon, it is frustrating when things don't work right when we are looking forward to it.

    I logged in about 20minutes ago and there was no queue, but there were 26 items in overflow not sure where they came from.

    It should even out. I think a lot of people logged at once to check names, guilds and all.

    So 5 min after you two said no que I get a 1 hour and 18 min que. I'm sure these logins are adjusted on membership level.

    There might be something to that... I am a F2P member and am currently looking at 1 hour 15 minute queue to login (this is up from 55 minutes an hour ago). It may very well be there is a login priority for subscribers... and non-subscribers get kicked to the back of the line.

    If that's the case... I am thankful I only have a level 21 character (easier to walk away from the game!)

    Right. I'm up to 1 hour 40 minutes. Why aren't they just transparent with us and let us know that they can only handle X number of players for now?
  16. Josgar Active Member

    Do we know if the queue will be permanent or if they're just implementing it for a few days while the server settles down?

    I completely agree with you Neothrasher. I'm actually glad there are huge wait times to log on. It helps me kick my EQ habit much easier. haha. Motivates me to try other games finally. Thank you DB.

    So now there are TOO MANY players on a server.

    It should be irrelevant what people logged in FOR. The fact is, if you have X number of players on a server, you should be ready for X number of players logging in at the same time. You always get large numbers when an expansion comes out or during holidays, so not being prepared for that influx is foolish.

    Sad thing is, I was seriously kicking around the idea of subscribing. Wanted to subscribe and then buy 1000 DBC currency so I'd have 1500 currency in order to unlock a mercenary.

    Thank goodness I didn't pull the trigger on that! Uninstalling the game as I type this. Good luck with the merger all!
