    My queue just dropped by 100.

    I'm okay with that.

    Oh hey me too.

    It must have messed up the ETA because it went from 3:45 to 27 minutes.

    The hell, the timer went from ~8 hours to ~40 minutes now back up to ~6 hours. Though I'm still 1100 in the queue, but still, don't taunt me so...

    Guys... I need to be brutally honest with you all.

    I'm not willing to play on a server that keeps up queues. Its not worth it to me to wait half an hour every night to log in. I would rather solo on a low pop server. If these queues don't clear up soon I may just do that.

    Yeah, it is kind of hilarious how badly they seem to have anticipated the headstart to go though, apparently they've added 12+ servers since the headstart launched, they're all full but 4, which are high, and it's not prime time playing hours yet :shock:

    I'm not but I'm also going to roll an Alt/second main on a non-queued server. If Faeblight doesn't turn itself around I will simply ditch my old toon until it does or until they open up character transfers.


    That said, is it too much to ask for someone to pick a LOW pop RPPVE/PVE server as our backup, queue-less guild? Like I said, I will roll solo if needed but I'd rather play with the other people that can't get into Fae.

    to be honest I wonder if any mmo is ready for headstarts. Even wow didn't anticipate the amount of people entering, resulting in massive queues.

    Trion should be proud though. I mean, isn't this only there 2nd game? And already it looks like its a commercial success.

    I don't understand this.

    Why are you insisting on trying to make a long term decision based on purely temporary conditions?

    Wait, what?

    I'm going to roll my Warrior somewhere else. It may as well be a different server since she was going to be Guardian anyway. I was never going to devote myself solely to my Cleric, I was planning on running at least two toons regardless of the server problems.

    Right now I'm gaining a place in the queue every few minutes and I'm just under position 600. At this rate I will be sitting here all day waiting to play on a character that's had only a couple hours of investment. If things calm down on Fae tomorrow I will come back, if not I will play my Warrior.

    I never put all my eggs in one basket.

    WoW also, I would argue, screwed up worse... they knew exactly how many people would be joining at launch because they only had a certain number ready. It was at least a couple weeks before we saw more copies come in stock.

    Also, I think its a little silly to assume this is a temporary condition.

    To the day the launch servers on WoW are the highest populated with the longest queues. Once people roll with their friends and guilds on a server they never want to abandon it. It seems reasonable for me to wish to avoid committing myself to a server that obviously already has enough of a population to kick the queues into the triple digits on CE headstart day.

    Keep one thing in mind Sparser, Trion has the capability to boost the capacity of any server with a bit of techy fiddling. Running blade servers, they can allocate more power for a single shard easier.

    How about this, if you want to play now go play on a new server. When the servers ease up a bit from the initial rush you can return to the decided upon server or just move on.

    I would think one of the main reasons there are long queues is because everyone would be logging into the same areas and questing in the same areas.

    I was alt-tabbing back and forth while waiting in queue and I accidentally hit my enter key while Rift was active, which canceled my queuing. I immediately re-queued and found myself +600 in line.

    God fucking dammit.

    My graphics are fucked no matter what I do now.

    Has ANYONE heard about these Green Foreground elements and a pure black background?! The game is completely unplayable, even if there weren't massive queues.

    I have a GTX 460.

    There has been no Driver releases, and I've been trying to fix this permanently for about 2 weeks. It used to be that restarting my comp would fix it, but now nothing does.

    I was playing fine before the most recent beta patch, but now nothing seems to work.

    I missed that, and will try it. I came back a few times after that post, but didn't follow all the way through the rest of the stuff. I'm frustrated so I haven't read much.

    Any word on the queues? Is it the players playing that are queued? Players creating characters?

    If there's a queue for Faeblight for instance of 4 hours, should I even bother to wait? Will the queue reliably fall off? What's their plan for the future? How will they address the plethora of people like myself who want to play with others on a particular server?
