**Official** Aion RELEASE Thread
- Thread starter J86
- Start date
Well it's Friday and I'll be heading to Inverness later to do a bit of shopping. Still not sure if I'll pick this up or not. I'm not playing anything else at the moment and I'm just spending my days browsing the net and sitting on IRC. Maybe I'll give it a shot. Still on the fence though. 
4hours queues on Spatalos server are driving me crazy. I cant play the game the days I work as when I get home i need to wait 4 hours before I can play, but after 4h of waiting I need to go to bed
Could you log in advance? So that when you're ready to play you're through the queue?
Admittedly the longest queue I have had on Gorgos so far has only been 31mins, but what I did then was log in in advance so that it was ready when I was.

My 30 Gladiator with preorder CE wings.
I wish I had the time this week to level up that fast and get the wings. I think I will be there in a few weeks time
If left on the server select list too long the game (or more likely the auth servers) boots you after 5 to 10mins of non-activity. I haven't tried it myself but isn't it the same if you leave the character selection screen idle too long as well?
For the lazy

YES YES YES YES YES, queues should go smooooooothly now
Excellent...I said a few days ago that they would implement a 30min timeout on shops.

We can only see how this will improve queue times tonight. I suspect this should cut queue times by at least half but I want queues to be no longer that 1h. Anything over 1h makes the game unplayable during rush hours.
Well they are kind of limited in what they can do during launch. It will have queues, particularly this "first" weekend.
They cant just keep raising the cap, because the servers will suffer from lag and crash.
Theres no point in adding new servers, because as has been evidenced in the past in MMOs, people wont move to the new servers anyway. They will sit on their current server and expect everyone else to move. Then there is always the danger that you will end up with half empty servers after people quit when the free 30 days is up, and we all saw how much damage empty servers did in WAR.
Once the initial rush of release is over, the queues will die down, just as they did in past MMOs which had queues on release.
For the time being all I can suggest is either put up with the queues til the release rush is over, or play on a different server..as I say, I've barely had queues on our server..but I understand that the insanely populated servers have had big queues (as you'd expect). Or..alternatively, and this is what people in our guild are doing, if the queue is 90 mins long, log in 90mins before you are planning to play and then it will be ready when you are.
Once the rush is over, the queues will quieten down.
Doesnt need to be anywhere special, just being logged out gains you it.

The shop timer is a load of crap
We somtimes run AFK parties long into the night and not everyone can be there.
We used AFK in most other games but can't here as afk for longer than they decide is best and your auto kicked. We used shops in china servers, which we now can't do.
Well back to the drawing board with some way to stay in game, altho a macro running a buff every now and again would be sufficient (Already tried and tested this). Just need to find something that won't end up gaining aggro. Not ideal but will have to work around it, lack of game guard makes it easier too
