Silkroad Online Forums

So you're ready for a game of silkroad after a hard day at the office, just to kick back relax and enjoy the video game. You go onto the splash screen, login only to be met with a 'Cannot connect to server traffic' message that disconnects you. Then you have to it all over again. After the 100th time you're still not on and this harmless video game has made you more stressed than you were to begin with. Even spending hours on websites waiting for a slot to open up on the server, you are still not guaranteed to be able to join.

So here's my suggestion to the makers of silkroad, introduce a 'queue' system. The idea is so that your silkroad client does not shut down after you have failed to log in. The idea works like this;

1) You open silkroad
2) You put in your username and password
3) Enter the security code
4) If the server has, you join it.

However, what if the server isnt empty? Well, simply replace step 4 with this;

You are put into a 'waiting list' until someone leaves the server. You will be given your place in the qeue and this will allow you to go and do other things until you are able to join. I don't know if this idea has been suggested before, but it seems SOOOO much more logical than sitting having to load your game up 300000 times before you can actually get in.

Discuss.

Suggested one million times already, and a person has a better chance of winning the lottery, than having this implemented.

id rather take my chances logging in than being the 349th person in line.

This is a "Free to play" game (not really), and if they make this waiting list (I love the idea), the ones with premium are in deep shit. (get the point?)

I rather have a waiting line then logging in for 15 ~ 20 min.. Then I see " there are 200 people before " go watch TV 10 min ltr " 10 people before you "

Cuz each min someone does dc or log out or what so ever

Don't know why it wouldn't be implemented.. obviously if it's been mentioned a million times before it must be a half decent idea. And I would much rather wait in a long qeue than be beat by one of the 10000000 people who are trying to log in the same time I am.

I dont know what you mean with the premium idea... but it would be an added idea to move premium members to the front of the qeue =)

With this system joymax would never make so much money with premiums >.>

Money>support for jm....

300. OMG me

OMG.... i have to wait 300 bots to join the game... great!!! i can go to sleep and come again after a week.
How many of u logged in after the inspections? every tuesday morning i have only 30 min to log in.... if i miss the moment i can say good bye....
If i can log in i am not seeing real people, i see ONLY bots. Bot on left, bot on right.....

If bots queue up in the waiting list, eventually the server will be filled with bots cause only legits log off, bots don't... So... Bot-filled server

Like it isn't now ...

Imagine yourself in a server with no legits and all gold-bots.



Must be exiciting.

300 places isnt that long to wait, considering the amount of people disconnecting from the server every few minutes.. and yes botting will be a problem, but it's not like the servers aren't full of them already..

I wonder if they'll ever work a way around botting....

They won't ever do anything like this because they want you to buy a pt. Thats why they changed it so they game closes out if the server is full. They wanna make it take as long as possible to log in on purpose.

Login Queue is the worst idea for SRO...
I'd prefer waste 5 mins logging in (And it never take more than 5 mins) than not being able to play for like
5 hours cuz they're 3000 bots thats infront of me in queue and wants to log in.

They would have to add a "disconnect if inactive for 1 minute" at character select screen if they want to prevent exploitation of the login queue. This prevents people from logging in to the queue and going afk for extended periods of time.

Don't know what server you're playing on but it took me over 2 hours today to get into Redsea, and at one point I sat infront of the PC for 40 mins opening and closing SRO. Botting is a problem wether you have a login waiting list or not. I still think it's a good idea.

Instead of making an useless update, why not make smt that stops the bots , like a Quiz system?

exactly. I can see it now it's going to be 50 bots in 1 actual player in 50 more bots on queue....

I would love it since I haven't been able to log in for over a week now.

My poor squirrel must be missing me Not to speak of the sp ticket time ticking away all in waste. Well spent money! >.> GG me!

I find it hilarious that I need to get myself a premium ticket in order to get in so I can get myself a premium ticket in order to get in...

status quo FTW!

300 ppl in queue ....i can dc 3-4 bots in 1 min >.< >.<

3 guildmates could make a rampage...yea i would like it

This would be worse, believe it or not.

You can see the sheer numbers of goldbots online with the traffic, whenever theres an empty space a gold bot is usually logged in, not a player.

Now, if this were implemented, the gold bots would be over 500, it would take even longer to log in.
Think about it, you will understand.

maybe its 5mins for u, but its 3 hours for me to log int . on sunday i tried from 8am to 2pm and thats when i logged in .

damn thats a bad idea because you can be waiting for ever and id rather try over and over because u got more of a chance with that then waiting in line forever
