Jaksith Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 BW lets all these people pay for free on the weekends, and when I go to log on, I get put in a 200 player queue (on fatman server).... You need to do something for paying customers that have been loyal, albeit three months, since the start.
Rankyn Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) While I do not disagree that free accounts should have lower queue priority, there are worse things in the world than having a heavily populated server. I understand that BioWare needs to do what it can to increase its subscriber base and the best way to do that is to allow people to sample it, but I would hope that if they're going to have free-for-all weekends on an ongoing basis that they should probably do something to better maintain the flow of traffic. Otherwise, it's over after this weekend and ceases to be a problem at that point. Edited March 26, 2012 by Rankyn
Michaelphoenix Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 i got a couple of my friends to play the game because of the free weekend.... so.. its worth it
Jaksith Posted March 26, 2012 Author Posted March 26, 2012 I agree there are worse things in the world, and I didn't start my thread with "dropping sub" like a lot of others did. It was to make a point and see if there were others who agree. As for this weekend being the end, we'll see, I can see them doing it again in a couple of months, before a major release.

I sympathize with your problem, hopefully BW will prioritize their paying customers over their potential customers in the future. However, I can understand why they would get priority, after all they are the potential customers so they need a good impression for a single weekend, not a weekend long que.

Also, you have to pay to pay to play? Ouch.
Jett-Rinn Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Yeah I had a 575 player queue this evening on Canderous Ordo. usually during the week if there is a queue it's only like 75-100
CrunkShizzle Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) ive never gotten a queue since i bought this game and that was like the beginning of march dont blame bioware for rolling on a high population server.not there fault you wanna play on a high pop server eather way i dont think a free trial weekend would do any good anyway.the majority of complaints about this game ive seen is when people hit lvl 50,and i doubt you would hit lvl 50 over the weekend Edited March 26, 2012 by CrunkShizzle
Gerandar Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 They are not forcing you to wait, feel free to play on another server if fatman is to full for your liking.
Andryah Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) And..... the QQ over servers queues begins again..... Canderous and Fatman are being ganked by people rerolling from other servers, not by the free weekenders. Your servers have been targeted by the discontented on these forums as the place to go for a server with lots of population. In fact, according to some, yours are the only servers with any population them. It will continue unless/until Bioware closes them to new characters. This of course would create a whole new volley of QQ from people wanting on your servers. None the less, it seems like Bioware should close them to new characters for a while.

Jaksith Posted March 26, 2012 Author Posted March 26, 2012 ...I think it's called the other five days in the week. Just sayin'. Also, you have to pay to pay to play? Ouch. You obviously totally ignored the point of the thread and used the opportunity to troll that you manage to play for free, if even true. Without stooping to throwing out the RL card, let's just say like a lot of adult professionals with families, I have more free time on the weekends than I do "the other five days" Unfortunately there are no rules against twisting an idea around to try and have the forum world say "ooh, look at him with that witty repertoire, I bow to you sir..." /endsarcasm

Even after the aussies abandoned us we are the one of the top PVE servers!

Jaksith Posted April 4, 2012 Author Posted April 4, 2012 Oh look - it's a week later and here we are again, my normal 'Heavy' server once again has a 270 player queue. Let's see, can I switch servers?...no. Did I choose this server? No, it was assigned to my guild. 90% of the servers are light - yet I get a 20 minute wait to play. I'm really not this antagonistic, but this is frustrating
Maglon Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Be happy you have a ton of players to play on a server with. This is not worth complaining about.
Moromillas Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 No, I don't think it's fair that a certain group of people get extra privileges.
Talsalus Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) i would recommend a "trial server for free account".. but what are they going to do with their characters when they subscribe??? Edited April 4, 2012 by Talsalus
Antipodes Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 I wish my server had a queue. A 20 minute wait is well worth having a server that is full of people rather than the ghost towns that are 90% of the other servers. Can't you browse the net or log on early before making coffee/grabbing a bite to eat?
HeavensAgent Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 That's the sign of a healthy server. Savor it, good man. Savor it. There's nothing they can do about it anyway.
faymar Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 That's TORchan Complain about too few people Complain about too many They mostly just complain.
Enexemander Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 That's nice. My guild was placed on a server that's dying out. I have no sympathy for you.

You need to do something for paying customers that have been loyal, albeit three months, since the start.The good news is they won't make the same mistake twice and add extra servers to fix it. The better news is that once your server's pop settles in they'll simply adjust the cap upward to get rid of the queues. Edited April 4, 2012 by GalacticKegger
Fredcat Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Lock Fatman, no new characters should be aloud to be created on that server unless they can get an invite from someone already on it. It has been the most crowded server since release, we don't need one more player on it. Everyone is re rolling on an overcrowded server when the empty servers are the one that need more players. It's 10pm and we have a 20 minute queue which is ridiculous. Then merge other servers ASAP.
Etilrellim Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 OMG to many people on my server...... at least you have people on your server.......haha dead is dead we have like 5 high pop servers rest are crap
Varus_Praetor Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 I'd trade a small queue over the ghost town of my server. That's ok, I didn't want to do heroics or FP's anyway.....
