    Haha, they heard me. Now in 11645 players time.

    I'm amazed that people seem to think this will be a quick fix. Just take the servers offline or add more or wave a magic wand. Server space is pricey. If they're at the limit, they need to use some of the profit to build space.

    But they won't do that until this is a regular thing. If this queue disappears in three days when nobody cares anymore, the servers they would have (if magic were involved and instantaneous server setup could be done) bought would be sitting idle.

    Sit in the queue as much as possible. If it stays at 20k 24/7 over the next week, they probably will buy more server space. Until then, it's false economy. They don't know that the regulars and newbs that everyone's badgering about them losing wouldn't just wander off anyway. God knows it's expensive enough to make people think twice when you look at the pricing structure of some of the stuff available.

    In other words, the game is actually slowly dying and they know it, and outside of a few incidents of rubbernecking, the population isn't increasing, because if it were, they'd need that extra horsepower anyway. So rather than expanding space to deal with increased growth, they're going to wait it out because they know there isn't going to be any, despite their public claims to the contrary.

    This is an entirely reasonable position to take. It is also a strong vote of no confidence from the insiders themselves. Combined with the LTS "sale", it becomes clear that they're trying to sell tickets on a sinking ship.

    Think about that when you consider your LTS purchase: Cryptic, by their own actions, admits this game is dying. Perhaps slowly, but dying nonetheless. They may claim otherwise, but actions speak louder than words, and a non-expansionistic policy is a demonstration that they are planning for slow death.
    I'll go get the tin foil for your hat, just stay right there. In the meantime, dump everything you can onto the Exchange.

    um... 2 minutes?! Yeah, takes 2 minutes for the log in screen to load in order to get to the point where the next message is that there is a queue which hasn't moved at all in the last hour and is now over 11K deep.... and oh, I started well over 2 hours ago, this is the second queue of the day so far. I know there are probably the dregs of people still waiting from when I briefly made it in from the first queue of the day.

    Really this stuff should have been easy to forecast and a prepared company would bring extra infrastructure at a major release junction such as this. While I don't know numbers, I'm pretty sure that MMORPG's such as Guild Wars faced larger (vastly) numbers of avid players trying to get in at each of their expansion releases, and I never faced a log in queue there... now, LAG, that is another story, but there were at times well over 100 instances of towns for the major events - that is a mega load of players on at the same time. Seems like Perfect World needs to pay more attention, and with their list of games, they should have the assets available to temporarily shift infrastructure to more readily support increased demand at a major release point.

    It was like that yesterday except it got over 15,000 on the que. I still think those that say it took 2 mins or 15 mins to get through the que are gold members. Thats the only thing I can think of cause I waited almost 30 minutes and my que never dropped below 4,000. I did eventually get into the game only to get kicked after setting up doff assignments so now I am just doing business on-line that I had planned to do today and hope that this gets resolved next free chance I get to log in.

    Yeah this is ridiculous and I know I spelled Queue wrong the first time lol. I have t be at work at 3:30 PM and I want to play a little before I do. I understand that the new content has been added, I want to play it like everyone else but this wait time is crazy.

    Yes it is and patience is vertue which I and a lot of other people lack, but at least Cryptic is doing their best to make sure everyone EVERYONE gets in, it will take a while but think of reward the wait will bring. ;)

    I imagine part of the problem is ppl not logging out and just going afk on their new Romuclan toon that can't spend skill points.

    Not the case!
    After a few minutes of inactivity, ppl are automatically logged off (not just now, but as far as I remember)... :P

    if this was banking you would lose costumers.


    Unless is was the gaming equivalent of a 2% interest, no deposit / credit check mortgage, then the queues would be worse. That situation would also have disconnects, and gentle callers enjoying the luxurious hold music.

    this is completely unacceptable to have to wait to play a game I have spent almost 100 USD on, GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER OVER THERE AND LET ME PLAY MY GAME:mad:

    Spent $100 but not willing to pay the subscription that lets you jump to the top of the que ?

    Then deal with it for a few days till the novelty wears off and it goes back to normal.. Im a lifer and not had to wait more than a min or two each time.
