1 hour to get through 400 people in the queue this morning. Started at 7:30am PST. It's now 8:23am PST, 600 more to go. That's a 2 hour queue. When i get home from work, there's going to be a 5-6 hour queue.

I was hoping to login before work to harvest and logout... You know, actually vacate my spot in the game, so that someone else could login, say ... another guild member, maybe...

If we've got a 'few' people sitting in the character selection screen overnight and holding spots online, effectively ahead of the queue, i can only imagine how many others are. To all of you - thanks a bunch!.

Now smarten up and logout so others can get online to play the game we're all trying to enjoy. Holding your spot 24/7 is selfish and totally lame. Yeah I know, we're on the internet. I know that if you don't someone else probably will. Doesn't change what it is.

And before you go there - No, blaming Trion for their lack of resolution of server capacity issues is not a valid reason to exacerbate the problem by holding your spot in the game 24/7.

I waited in queue about 8 hours, twice. The first time I set myself up to queue overnight and when I woke up the game had crashed and there was my browser pointed at the support page. The second time I queued all day when I could have been leveling, to finally log in just in time for dinner. I managed to get a few hours in but I think I earned my spot. If the queue was under 30 minutes I would say you're right, but at these lengths I think we should be playing the game like everybody else and trying to secure as many spots for the clan as possible.

Confirmation that Trion has started manually clearing the Character Select screen AFK'rs because of the queue issue and the unintended effect of those individuals being able to regenerate Labor Points while holding paying customers hostage to log into the game.

What basically broke Trion was that F2P accounts were now able to do the same thing and were pushing Patrons into the queue in large numbers. When the competitive end of your title is about labor pools, crafting, mats and gear and those things are all tied to one game mechanic (LABOR) you had better get your house in order ASAP.

1...2...3 until people adapt and start doing the same with some rudimentary macro.

The key problem is tying labor to online time. Simply shrink F2P player max labor pool (to half a day worth of regenerating) and let everyone accumulate it offline.

Simple common sense fixes, need not apply at Trion.

very true, Tasorin!

Holy fuckhole, I downloaded a game I haven't been able to play for a week now.

haven't even gotten to make my character yet.

27,500 across all queues as of 9PM CST Saturday 09/20/2014

Glad to see those two servers helped so much...

BTW: What is this "XXX race restricted" tag? Because it is looking like I might not even be able to roll a character on Ollo?

That is indeed what that means. Character transfers will come eventually but they may not be free.

That is correct. Welcome to the club :/

I can't decide if I want to call Trion and demand a refund (or just dispute the charge with my CC) or roll a toon on another server and hope for xfers.
