Damn, thats actually baffling. Servers cant handle it, how stupid. The only fix I can think of is switch servers?

i’ve been in queue for almost 2 hours. from position 1 to 42, and everything in between. how’s that even possible? unless it’s just a game to keep you interested.
White-knight alert! @Deadlyrecoil
“MASSIVE” amounts of people is an overstatement. Even if it was accurate, they aren’t back in the game if they’re stuck in queue.
This issue was entirely predictable and completely avoidable.
The situation was created by AGS and their yet to be implemented solution is monetized to take advantage of the players.

I’m not tracking any pay to skip queue option in the future, if that has been mentioned to be a feature its completely abhorrent I agree with you. AGS is tracking the situation with the servers AND have said they will be adding servers THURSDAY. AGS has heard us and have already provided more servers in the immediate future.
I’m tired of the silence on the queues. New Servers will NOT fix this issue. Increasing the cap by another 1000 per server is the answer.
Frankly, I know many would disagree but if I had to pay $2-$10 a month so they could fund the new servers, I would do it. At this point, you can’t play any more. The queues in the evening are ridiculous (as others have already stated).
NEW SERVERS IS NOT THE ANSWER!!! The current servers need to scale better. 3-5k players per server.

They are already pushing the limits with 2k+. Anything above 2250 pop would likely just start crashing the server.
if this is taking the server to the limit, you have to take the devs to the limit to get this right. but definitely opening the server is not a solution but a palliative for a future problem. AWS is a reference in server solution, I’m sure they can.
New Servers will NOT fix this issue.
Pessoal dessa empresa é uma vergonha fecharam os servidores antigos e agora quem sofre somos nós

No mate, this is not the answer.
We will have more bots, specially EU and US East, as AGS is unable, unwilling, or incapable of persistently and constantly banning them.
Prices will keep going up. Not good.
Performance will go down. More pop, lower peformance, as we have been experiencing.
I mean, new servers is a good patch, but they will be fully filled, look at this:
More people on queue than IN the server playing for SAmerica, and we are not the greatest market, so either those numbers are unrealistic or manipulated, or truly people is making a come back, which I don’t know, because those I know left, are not returning.
Unless they introduce personal nodes for gathering, things will be driven by an inflated economy. 750000 lodestones for some runes is just absolute madness. Like all the resources there’s an artificial scarcity introduced by bots, which was made worst by people, that in despair, started camping nodes, so we are at a stale point where each resource that spawns is immediately gathered. Imagine 1k more people competing for that + all the performance things that we already know happen with too many people on the same area (GreatCleave PVP 5fps flashbacks)
that happen to me for first time last night, had to close and then rejoin the queue, then said nope im not playing anymore tonight… Nothing would close it, i could see people running in to finish the song and get the dust but I was just stuck there.
friend I agree with you, but the economy and performance are things that amazon has to solve tb. Maybe performance before anything to put more players in the game. I still think it’s the solution yes, this is a mmorpg and not a survival of life. the economy is due to the players more than the game. But I agree with you about the resources, but I don’t think it should be individual, the increase in the map will resolve these issues, the economy is thus welcome to capitalism. now players have increased obviously that they have to improve server performance etc, I don’t even need to say because for me it’s explicit.
AGS has killed my game play experience and server several times now…i finally was getting to a decent point on a medium population server and enjoying it, and then they merged all the servers and trying to play the game sucks now
server lag and desync are worse than ever…assuming you dont mind sitting in queue to wait for lag and desync
the solution is to stop forcing a certain type of server on players and let them play on a low population if they enjoy to and let players play on high population if they enjoy that and dont mind queue times.
Sorry but no as well.
That is all based on supposition and conjecture.
If BOTs are a problem when more reporting and banning needs to be done.
AGS over-merged the servers and now the player community is paying the price. Now they are forcing players to make a choice, leave the friends they built on a MASSIVELY (not) multiplayer game and transfer to manage an issue that AGS caused or stick with long queue times and essentially not play at all.
It just boggles my mind, that they had an incredibly successful launch that caused them to open up more and more servers and then…what assumed those players would never come back when they introduced new content?
In my mind, anyone returning should be forced to play on one of the new servers as a first step. At least that would partially reward the players that have stuck with it.
I’m basing my statements in current situation and AGS policies.
I wish we could have active GMs hunting down bots. But we don.t
I wish servers could handle 5k players, but they can barely keep 1500 in a decent state.
Yes, AGS forced the merges.
There were regions that could have been left with a choice at least, in SA we got 3 to 1 servers and now we have to either pay to get out, or suck it up. I’m not even close to happy with that.
BUT, it’s that, or no play at all. I mean, many people will chose not to play any more, and AGS will again lose players. Others will pay, and yes, newcomers should be on the new servers, we agree. But having +2k players on a queue yesterday is a clear sign that +1server will be almost enough to keep the current demand. And we are not even on the release yet.
Shortsightedness is a thing, and AGS has it all.
1 new locked server.
1 new alleviating server.
But hell no. 1 server even for EU and US that were packed will not be enough.
It will play out as usual. People will mostly leave, and the game will buy another 3 months of populated servers till the hype fades away.
New Servers will NOT fix this issue.I don’t know where they got that creating new servers will make the queue disappear!
Surprisingly it worked for South America
Devaloka was upped to 2.5k
Atlantis is 2.2k
Devaloka has a very short queue now, and many of use moved to Atlantis looking for a quiet place, Deva is still the PvP competitive place.
it worked so much that I had a queue of only 700 people. lol give mea break. I knew this wasn’t going to work.
