Been wondering the same thing for years now. Then the persistent universe is a thing and players can farm ships, you'll have a tremendous number of players who realize they dont' actually enjoy playing star citizen or realize they do enjoy star citizen and would rather farm up a ship instead...

If you read between the lines in A Note to the EQ Community from Jenn Chan | EverQuest Forums the answer is basically that they made some changes and are third-tier developers so they fucked everything up. I'm ignorant of the specifics but I wouldn't be surprised if they tried fixing some...

If I afk'd that's where I'd do it. Hidden in plain sight. What's funny is that from the server's perspective that's the worst place to AFK because there is exponential growth on server load for players. If you AFK in qeynos or something, the server sends your info to the dozen or whatever...

I'd be curious to know what % of people are actually playing vs AFK botting when the queues are active.

I hated the captchas in Black Desert and never want to see that shit in an MMO again.

It's like they want the queue to be as long as possible to set a world record for "longest queue in a 20 year old game"

I haven't heard anything about the server performance in this Wednesday's patch. Did they announce anything? DPG isn't a rational actor at this point, but if they had ANYTHING that would help in the works I would figure that they'd have made a post about it. The last two posts they made had...

I haven't done the AFK shit in Aradune but I kind of want to do my part to make these queues as terrible as possible just to burn this mother down until they fix the servers or my sub runs out. I'm a patient dude and don't mind giving DPG some welfare money while they figure this out but at some...

For sure. The grill comes with 3 infrared grill plates, I've wondered how hard it'd be to replace one with a normal grill surface so I could get those flare ups to give some char to what I'm cooking. I got so tired of babysitting my grill before that would erupt into flame everytime I thought...

Parachuting in here. I just got https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JYQBQG5 and love it. Easiest grilling ever. No hot spots or flare ups.

In 2020 this is looking more and more like

What's one D between "friends"? also the queues starting before noon PST is hilarious. Game is more than half populated by AFK bots at this point. Still not as bad as Archeage launch with 32 hour queues.

Yeah it's getting worse, but isn't that bad yet. It just means that often you've got to decide whether you want to level in an area with garbage drops or compete with level 50s by leveling in an area with decent drops. I had planned on trying to level in areas that happened to drop decent group...

I doubt DPG has the competency to do it, but detecting people keeping themselves afk on char select would be the easiest thing to detect and give warnings or suspensions for. For my money I'd put up a "trader" in commonlands that would have a script advertising something mundane at a relatively...

Yeah i should say that I'll take another look at release and if they don't have some specific features I'll wait till a big mod comes out

Every time i think EQ can't get any more ridiculous.

Never crashed on aradune. Using a heavily modified sparxx ui

just logged off, someone get those two slots quick!!! 85m qeueu at noon on Saturday, hahahahah. I think there is also like 1/3rd the server capacity as there was at release.

I think they lowered it in a kneejerk reaction to whatever was going on. I also agree on gamers putting up with this shit. I see people complaining about "wasting all night waiting on a queue" and I'm thinking, just go do something else for another week or something, or log on and play early...

140 minute queue times on Saturday at 3:45PM EST. I feel like the queue times increased since the last Saturday they had them on.

I put it down till release.

Then the queues would never move :(

45m queue at 12:30PM EST

That's my feeling too. This is a configuration / code issue that can't easily be solved by hardware.

Yeah, and if you need proof they are cool you can just ask their 5 friends, all of which are boxes.

4000 people piling into a server isn't really evidence that EQ1 remastered would be successful. I do think me and a few other solid devs + artists could remake an impressive EQ1 in unreal and be compatible with p99 servers though. I'd rather make robots.

Fun thing about TLPs is everyone gets to choose cool names. Except me because some fucker got Tuco, leveled him to 6 and hasn't logged in since.

Got through the queue and my house got attacked with an electrical storm that started cutting power

I'm ok team leave it up.

17 minutes

12m labeled queue at 4:39PM EST Would rather have ~3000 people getting good service than ~4000 people getting terrible service.

I'd recommend using GINA triggers instead of a butt stuff window. I've developed my GINA triggers quite a bit since this video was captured pre-Aradune but it's basically the same. I've got bars for all the buffs I care about on the left.

not to my knowledge

Chargebacks are a bitch move. You guys knew that DPG is a scrap-tier company managing scrap-tier code.

What's the correct strategy for this? Would be nice if there was a channel that spread across picks for a zone, but that probably wouldn't help...

glad to see *some* response but there's not much there that gives me any kind of confidence.

For sure, but I've found that when I'm charming higher than my level the average time duration is several times more than what it'd be if there was a 5% chance to break per tick. My first time through though, and I haven't been charming reds. I was getting carried all day with Torklar in Unrest...

This is probably old news that everybody knows, but I recently discovered that EQ devs might think charm is WAY more risky than it is. A couple years ago niente "clarified" how charisma impacts charm: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/importance-of-charisma.220085/ This is...
