getting somewhat annoying...come home->server down->server full->GG

I think it is:D

The only problem is it's not being fixed in a timely manner anyway. A day or two of not being able to log in, most people will be ok with it, after 3 days people start to get irritated.

A login queue is not an optional thing in my opinion. I can't think of any other game out there that doesn't have one.

With the current non-system we have here, I can't go do other things if I want to play this game. I am forced to sit at the computer and click the log in button repeatedly. If I even tab out to post on the forums I may very well have missed my chance to log in.

edit: Also, I recall someone stating that a similar problem had happened once before. Maybe they were talking foolishness, but if it's true why wouldn't you have a log in queue ready to go just in case? Learn from your mistakes and all that...

Ya getting pretty annoyed at not being able to log in. I played this game for a day then subscribed for 3 months. Like Van says went from admin only to server full.  If i'd of been a day later not sure that I'd of bothered.

yeh i really wanna play too, but we just need to chill until it gets fixed properly plus it gives me a chance to read up on guides and get as much info into my brain as possible

I'm working my way through steam RPG demo's, I should be good for another couple days.

On a side note, anyone see a single player game that's like a mix between Minecraft (sandbox) and Civilization (tech tree learning), where you basically start with nothing struggling to live, and can work your way up to building space craft?

Edit: Attempting to sidetrack the thread, priceless

"like Spore", but not so much on the Civ side and more on the minecraft side; where your not trying to create cities, more like Super 8, where your stranded and scrounge up mats and create tools to gtfo.

Well, this wasn't the day we fixed the server. We are going to get some rest and carry on tomorrow. We have isolated where the problem is, so we did make progress today.

Until then a 350 player cap is in effect. At the moment we do not have the tools to make distinction between paying and trial players. All this time we spend chasing this issue will be free of charge to all of you.

We are very sorry about the inconvenience, we will do our best to get this out of the way!

One step at a time.

People are still waiting in the wings for a fix, too, excitedly being kept up to date on the status of the server software, who will come in when things seem stable.

For everyone else excited but frustrated at the sudden-ness of this, I apologize that this is so frustrating for those being frustrated by it.  When I'm locked out of the server I'm in the NeX TS3 server, and we're pretty much constantly on and chatting about the game, anything and everything 24 hours a day which is in its own way exciting considering the immense cross sections of people the corp contains.

If you are a member of NeX and trying to log in, use our TS3 server.  There are people that can let you know the server's status, and instead of one person clicking 400 times, its easier when a group are clicking less often, or one is in game and knows when they're lifting the cap, and can xmit that info via voice.

Speaking of which - wow.  NeX has reach 387 members.  Though I know this is not entirely inclusive of the numbers of "bittervets" who have arrived and subscribed solely from word of mouth, still... wow.  And poor Gweee spending all those EP on Corporation skills, boo!

Remember: EP is not a queue.  It accumulates first, you get buyer's remorse after.

I play MMOs. I need a signature which is deep, thought provoking, and devours bandwidth with the voracity of rabid weasels. It is also, by nature, vaguely sad with a tinge of my obvious internal, unfathomable loneliness. Like this,   , but at 1.3megs packed into 2 by 6 inches. ANIMATED.

That's all well and good but what we really need to know is...can you hammer a six-inch spike through a board with your ***?

Uh, oh... did you crash the server again?

let's pray to the game gods..
