Reasons why Elysium Queue is a bad joke!

ATTN: Any form of Anti-AFK system abuse can result in a ban (depending on severity). We are actively working on a fix for the long queue.

Guys, seriously, really? After years of Nostalrius and Elysium and probably other experiences with pirate servers you should know it better!

I know that you are doing a good job and try your best, but in case of Elysium Queue Waiting times and especially tons(!) of AFK Players blocking the server for hours and days (or until the next restart of the realm) it is NOT enough. I see hundreds(!) of players beeing AFK on the server - using tools or just running against walls and stuff - and not beeing kicked - never! I also know and tested it on my own, that beeing on the char-choosing screen can hold forever(!). We tested it to see if it works and we have been on the char-screen for hours(!) and not beeing kicked.

So you still seriously wonder why queue is between 10-20K ?! ... and regular,legal,non-afk players like me need to wait 4-7 hours DAILY(!) to be able to finally play!?

Players of my guild even log in at THE MORNING, before they go to work (yes, there are still some wow players with a usual job), just to be able to play when the aarive back home AT THE EVENING!

This is sick and maybe you try to get some help from some ex-blizz workers as blizz really quick and enduring got fixed this heavy problems with afk-serverblocking people right after start in 2005. So there must be solutions to get rid of the serverblockers. And as soon as you have fixed this problem or banned those players, you wont have any big queue anymore.

It is just frustrating and sick to wait 4-7 hours on a daily basis to be able to PLAY(!) ... and this is just the OPTIMUM CASE, if you got kicked from the queue or are down from 14.000 to 800 in queue and server got restarted ... it will take much more additional time! (After start iof Elysium it took me, no joke, 13 hours(!) to be able to lay for the first time)

A very frustrated player, asking for fixes and emmediate solutions, thanks!

hes right, you dont lose connection from character selection screen.. that should auto kick you on out after about 3-5 minutes. i dont know if i would ban players for trying to afk to not deal with the que but i definitely would boot them from the game. I was able to finally get in the game and play last night.. it literally took me until last night to be able to play after sitting in que, disconnecting in que or stuck at authenticating all weekend.

The simple fact of having a queue on a server (no matter its duration) means that a major issue exists and the product isn't deliverable in this state.

But, right now, is there really 13k legit ppl all the time in queue or the majority of this conjestion is a confirmed attack against the login server ?

This is honestly the most idiotic statement I've read so far on these forums.

I can only assume that this guy is one of the devs: https://github.com/cmangos/mangos-classic/pull/242

Stay tuned.

This is exactly the same thing, people are trying to be effective with their time.

So now that they addressed that problem guess what??? There are still 9k people in front of me when i log in this morning. The REAL problem here, if you want to call it that even though i wouldn't, is that LOTS and LOTS of people want to play on their server. There either needs to be another server or they need to figure out how to let another 10,000 people into this one. Personally i think this is a great thing because it means that at nearly any given point in the day there is 20,000 people who want to play vanilla world of warcraft. This means there is lot's of people to interact with/find dungeons and raids to do together and even perhaps open an entire new server for. The more people who play this the better the experience will get. Lastly i would just love it if vanilla wow numbers grew larger than current wow because then blizzard would haveno choice but to face the fact that their current game is a pile of garbage and perhaps open their own vanilla servers.

Ye came home and que for 2.h hours and still 8k left...

What a time to be alive, fucking bullshit.
Just open a new server already, I bet you that even in 3 months there will still be massive ques becuase it's a comeback for a reason, so many people havn't been playing vanilla for years and years and probably (like me) are tired of all the other games with such a bad community.

So nosyt/elysium dev, do you want people to look back in 5 years and remember you for doing what obsiouly right and open a new server or do you want people to remember you with "hey do you remember that awfull privat wow vanilla with constant 10k+ ques that you never was able to play?" " yea such a shame cause I really loved that game, too bad I wasn't able to play it cause I got a job / school"....

It is ridiculous :(

At the same day i have opened this thread, they announced to (finally!) bring up AFK-Kickertools and it wont be able to block the server anymore, not even on the char-selection-screen. ... Wow ... i thought, the've finally checked it!

What happened? ... Server down, they installed them and they seemed to work a while! *niceeeee* Queue down to 1500-3000, waiting time 1-2 hours max! This would be acceptable.

But then, i guess they messed it up and didnt get them run properly without bugs/problems, they obviously took the AFK-Kickers down again, without any notice ... and now, some days later, we have the same sh1t back again ... 8K-12K watiing queues and 6-9h of waiting time! :(

It is IMPOSSIBLE for our clanmembers to play the best WoW of all times at the same time (means together!)
Horrible deluxe with cream on top! *grrrrrrrrr* ... MMORPG without the MM! *loool*

 

 

They could at least tell and inform us WHY they have diabled the kickers and why they think it is OK again to wait 30-50% of the day to play (at least until they reboot or put the servers down again).

Anyone knows more about this?!

Sometimes things don't work out the way they were planned, in which case adjustments, and sometimes even rollbacks, are needed. This is pretty common in all software development. Please remember that despite our popularity, we are a fairly small team of volunteers. Demanding (modern) Blizzard level customer service and development is bit unfair and kinda ridiculous. I hope you can see that after you calm down.

Also, this is the suggestion forum, not general discussion. "Fix it!" is not a proper suggestion.
