Login-queue for iSRO

[klokus]

October 28th, 2008
Joymax is about to revive Silkroad.
If this morning update is what we believe it is, Silkroad might start to become lively again. Joymax did failed to release version (1.162 and 1.163) of sro_client and did a rollback. But this update, if my belief is right, might be one of the long awaited queue system for the login. Which failed during it first test making that nobody could login and they decided to rollback to the old client and server.

Error happened right after the captcha which the only link we can think of would be that it tryed to send the user to a queue system which should then accept the user to login. But that new feature had a small bug or mis-configuration making the player to DC. While this is only a supposition, but no matter what... I would definitly love Joymax if such a feature is coming soon.

Either an update to prevent bot or a long awaited queue login system.
Either are fine, but seriously, a queue login system would make silkroad a game which could be enjoyed finally by real user and not only by bot.
- no more client crashing because the server full
- no more NoDC client required
- only 1 captcha to fill
- can wait in line for hours but at least you have a spot to play

Oh, sorry then

[EwwBabel]

No queue plz

[Tasdik]

Why not?

If there is a queue the gold bots will rule servers because all the goldbots are chinese (99%) and teh server checks are on Korean Time so well all be sleeping/at school and all the gold bots will queue in

the only way that work is active Gm's banning gold bots IN the server.

True, and we all know when will that happen

it would take forever to get to your turn

[speeble]

I don't think so.. Many people DC so the slots would be filled by the next waiting person in line... I don't think it would take a long time to get in... Slots come and go very fast.. I think this is good

Agree that it is a good idea. The goldbots are never the ones who dc. They are pretty much always on. Players leave. If there is a time estimate it would be very handy. Just come back when you can get in

more players buying prem. to not wait in line .

i like the queue log-in system more cuz it's not luck based on the time you hit enter after code verification anymore .

thing is there could be like 100 players who want to log-in (70 of them are gold bots of course) so they enter the queue system .& let's ssy you are the 80th player in line . so you have to wait till 80 player DC or leave the server till your turn comes .

You have to realize there is 32 servers and Joymax is a small staff running 3 games. We expect a lot out of them, but they can do so much. Yes they could send one or two staff members to run around the game for a couple hours a day every server and ban a few people, but.. is it really worth their time? We the users think all they do is just play grab ass all day and do nothing, but they actually have to do other shit.
