Queue is not helpful when you wait 3 hours, select toon, and fail DB server

[Surelle]

Okay, I'm not mad at all about this, I just think it's funny.  However, I waited in a queue for Excelsior for 3 hours, finally just got in now, picked the character I was previously using, and immediately got flung back to the login screen, rofl.  It didn't even *try* to load into the game.  Just an FYI for the team there.  And I logged back in just for kicks, and am now #1342.

 

Nighty night folks!  I just closed down the game, so Mister/Ms # 1343 just went down by one #. 

 

Ah, it's so great to have this game back again, though.  And man is my home cleaner!

You are welcome to leave - we sure will miss your sunny disposition though. (sarcasm)

 

Honestly, this looks like the end of the server forever.

 

No chance a lot of people will hang around when you bottleneck the server into only 1k people.

 

I doubt there's a single person that would choose 2+ hour queue over lag. Even the crashing wasn't as bad as this.

 

If the admins are listening: Remove the queue or get the queue below 500 - before it's too late.

I have to agree.

 

Literally - there's a piece of art hanging on the side of my bed.  Two characters from the game walking hand in hand by the Atlas statue.  Those characters belong to myself and my wife, whom I first met standing on South Rock waiting for a Hami raid.  She and I remade our characters last night, and even though we're a whopping lvl 4 each, just running the two characters together for the first time in so many years was enough to illicit tears.  This game has had a singularly significant impact on my life, and I am more than willing to wait to play it again.

 

I just want to say that this is one of the nicest things I've read in a while. <3
