As bad as I am hearing queues are today, I am expecting to log in when I get home at 3:30est, and sit in the queue until 10, when I goto bed. Le sigh.

The stupid thing here is that the Trion:XL games dev ratio is likely going to slow the fix down to something longer than a week. I'd be very surprised if Trion was able to make this work better sooner than that.
We're in for extended queues for the foreseeable future. Unless everyone just quits.
Which is likely. If anyone feels remotely close to the way I do about this game I'd imagine those people leaving in droves before they fix what they got going on right now.
Im about to throw the towel and roll on a less populated server than Kyrios till things settle down. Was pumped to neckbeard it with PRX but this is a bit ridiculous. I was planning on playing an alt with my RL buddy to try to get him interested but you know, hes got a job-job. So i think imma roll somewhere else for a couple of days or something, so my bud can at least try the game.

You're still screwed. There just aren't enough servers right now. The two newest you'll be good if you try to log on early, but once primetime hits, they're all 2-3000+ people queues.
I tried logging into one of them and had a 2 person queue, but then 2 hours later I was hearing it was just as bad as the others at like 2-3 hours for patrons.

I get that they don't want the servers to become ghost towns, if they add too many. But, it does seem to be getting a little extreme, in that they are losing out on a fairly significant(just my opinion) amount of players by not adding any. A fine line to try to walk. I don't envy the people who make that call.

The non-peak times would stop having stupid queues at least. Prime time would be just as bad though. And with the grace period thing, the arms race will just continue in other ways.
"Oh, they kick you when you're afk after 30 minutes? Then run this program. It'll force quit the game at 20 minutes, then do a few clicks to log you back in, and keep doing that every 20 minutes."

Let's be real here, servers are going to become ghost towns anyways. This is a niche game, niche groups, punishing solo-play. Accessibility is pay-walled.
Queues like this make Accessibility factor tank into a fairly easy decision to quit investing time (and money) into this game.
Trion did the same shit with Rift release.
Edit: I bet PRX Teamspeak is a bitchnado right now with these queues too.

The fixes are easy:
Normalize labor gain so offline+online are same. Throttle
f2p if needed (ie, they get offline labor, but labor caps at 500 a day or whatever unless you do a daily quest or speak with an npc in game
Increase server capacities
Have game add a debuff to characters who have been in game over X hours. Make it easy to remove for players who are actually playing, otherwise game shuts down after 30 min. This solves afk mount as well.
Remove char select afk/add a hardcap timer to pick a char

You think there's grounds for VISA chargebacks? Considering Trion isn't really doing anything about this denial of service?
I agree. But, who knows what they are thinking, when they are not communicating with the players at all.

If you're an adult with Google though, you could checkhttp://www.teamviewer.com, take 5 minutes to figure how this sorcery technology works and then it's magic, you can launch Archeage from everywhere with your mobile telephone. Fucking magnets, heh.

This is why I am glad I don't deal with consumers, especially gamers these days.
