Yeah, things are definitely getting worse but I figure that's because many more players are unfortunately remaining logged in. When I managed to get online earlier on the majority of people I encountered in settlements were AFK. Not a few people, either - I saw literally a hundred players idling in Coerthas for hours on end.
Wednesday can't come quickly enough! At least last week there was a high chance I could get online outside of peak hours but now even that window has closed for the most part. I do hope they add some sort of AFK timer in the future, though.

 Definitely getting worse. I disconnected just now and I am getting world full notifications thrown at me - It's 2pm here, hardly peak time. Is it the same for anyone else right now or can I assume it's an internet issue on my end?
That is to say, is the lobby screwed up and did anyone get booted out - I am well aware that world full isn't a connection issue before any raging bulls decide to home in on that mistake...

Exactly! When I got on the other day in the morning, I was so happy I played all day. But i was ACTIVELY playing. Meanwhile, I would pass by the same characters, sitting idely AFK in the morning, and they would still be there in the same exact spot when I passed them again like 5-6 hours later. Or more. I mean, I totally understand going AFK. To go eat, to take care of chores, to walk the dog, whatever. But leaving it there all day while you go to work for 8 hours or when you sleep all night? It's just makes the game worse for other people. But there's no point arguing about it I suppose. Can't wait for the servers to be improved! <3

I just had this, so it's not just you. Now I can't even get access to the NA/EU server list. Sigh.

Likewise, I had to keep reloggng until it loaded those for me. Now it's back to 1017 spam! I still find it a little sad that the servers are already full though :/ The most i've had is a 300 queue which is somewhat pitiful.
Cheers though! It's a relief to know my internet didn't explode on me, at least...
I can't even get the launcher to load up so yeah lol.
Something seems to be going on don't know what. I guess it's at a point where a lot of people just decided to not log off ever and the servers are always full no matter what time.
I didn't log off last night because I wanted to see if something happened if I stayed logged in. Well something did. When I woke up and tabbed into the game, the camera was all messed up. It was stuck in the upper left corner, there was no UI, and the only way I could get anything to show up was to change from full-screen windowed to windowed and then back again. But then the windows bar at the bottom was stuck in front of the game... and then the game crashed. xD
I managed to get online. I'm not sure if it actually helps, but I've often had more success at getting into the game after fully closing the launcher and opening it up again for each new attempt.
Well no idea what you guys do different but 90% of the time i get an error just trying to get the launcher to work and then a lobby error when i do get in. *sigh* another day of playing wasted. Takes 2 hours just to get into the game.

Here's hoping it's fixed soon. I can only imagine how much of a pain this is for people who are back school or working through the day - SE really really needs to implement an AFK timer or a larger queue capacity. Â
I'd like to think that would at least solve half of our problems...
Well, when SE starts leaking subscribers like a sinking ship, we wont have to worry about server errors and full servers so much. lol
"A system error has occured: -2146697211" ...well that's new...
I'll likely be one of the subscribers that leave after the first month. Not any point paying for a shoddy service and a game i can't even play when i want to play it. I thought they were only capping populations at peak hours anyway not all the time.
If this was any other company people would be going mad about everything but SE is like Valve people just ignore any problems because they are too busy having a fan orgasm XD.
AFK timers are easy to avoid anyway and they will just cause problems for people who take breaks for food and stuff. They could probably do a server reset at certain hours to get past people just idling on the servers all day and taking up space but that would take effort on their part and people would get around it anyway.
Still waiting for solutions to problems they knew they had during beta but ignored. Instead of solutions they just offer blocks to stop people playing the game.
This must be a new record. Only 3 pm and crashing with 2002 over and over again, finally bring up NA/EU servers and 1017 for 15 minutes. I've never had this problem in the day before. I guess people really are just afking for days on end now... Sigh.
This is even worse than it was over the weekend on a Monday afternoon.
I made it into a 30-person queue, then got the 1017 error.
What? :c
