Is my math wrong about the population cap and queue?

Recommended Posts

So, if at times (peak hours) the population reaches 11-12k and there's a queue of 6k+, why is there a queue of 6k+ now (1 PM at CET) with only 8k population? From these numbers it seems to me that the cap is 12k, so with population 8k, the queue should be 2k only, atm, or should I throw my engineering degree out the window? :D

Because people are idling at the character select screen while they work/sleep/etc so they can immediately jump back into the game rather than wait through the queue. There was a fix implemented to prevent this but apparently it isn't working.

They'll never create a better fix than terrorizing cheaters into playing fair with massive waves of bans.

this has 0 to do with cheating.

on retail vanilla, youve first been thrown back to the char screen if youve been afk for too long and a little later youve been completly logged out. too bad the devs/staff is not able to recreate this mechanic it seems

They did recreate it. After around half an hour, you were completely disconnected from the server. They implemented this two days ago when there were ~7k online and a 10k+ queue and it caused a much smaller and faster queue. But for some reason it apparently is no longer enabled.

True. I've fallen asleep, woke up a few hours later and was still logged in.

This should be fixed.

Maybe the server needs to restart? Uptime is 24 hours+..
