After 4 hours in the queue i got the dreaded: "Disconnected from the server" message and a black screen.

Back at the end of the queue now with 3000 ahead of me.

This game is dead soon if they don't fix the queues or add more servers.
Um, you do realize that you have 10 minutes in which to log back in once disconnected, right? So even if it says there is a queue, it will bypass it if you relog immediately. I know this to be true because that is how it has worked for me since launch. You take too long to relog, you will get dumped into the queue. This only applies to disconnects from the server side not from you disconnecting from the game a la killing the process.
They can't add a gazillion servers because they CAN'T merge them later. That would be a far bigger blunder. Patience. Players will start leaving once they hit max level and realize it's really just a PVP game. You have a bunch of PVE locusts playing right now. They will move on once they've seen all there is to see.
And since you knew all these problems existed in the game and were quite vocal about the LP system and how people were going to *win*, I find it laughable that you are crying about queue times. You already know you hate the game.
Something is seriously flawed. I waited in Que 6 hours yesterday, and now I'm trying to play at 9am on a work day and they que is still an hour and a half?
I agree the problem is people just don't want to log off due to getting more labor points AND not having to sit in the que when they get home from work.
Don't get me wrong I like having populated servers but it's impossible to play the game when it takes 2-6 hours just to get ingame.
It was pretty obvious that people were going to abuse the LP system on a large scale. If Trion does not aggressively police the AFK'ers, they will simply never log out.
Many gamers believe that they can do anything they want to, because "the company wants my money, so they'll never really punish me".
Between the AFK horse riders and the goldseller bots, there's no hope for anyone else to get into the game in under 5 hours during primetime, lol
I'm not even really into this game, but I had it on my hard drive from the beta, so I decided to try logging in to see how bad it was. I created a character, and logged instantly into the game 10 minutes ago with no wait whatsoever. After seeing all the QQ threads about the queue times, I was expecting much worse. Take that as you will.
EDIT: on a totally unrelated note, why do the ground textures look like they are from a Nintendo 64 game?
That sounds awful Kangaroomouse , I would sack it off and try sometime the next day etc. I wouldn't bother myself personally.

It's true, every day he posts about how he can't log in and declares he's going back to play a "real MMO", FFXIV.
But I wonder if the real MMO is all that fun, why is he trying so hard to play AA every day?

You are playing the game totally for free but upset that you have a long queue? Pay for patron and your queues will be much shorter.
If people are basically just parking their characters in game to accumulate labor points - while not actually being at the keyboard - then this creates artificial stress on the servers. I don't like the free-to-play approach either - but if it is an option for the game it should not take people five hours to login, or the claim that there is a useable non-sub option for the game is not correct.
Keep in mind that just because they indicate "<1 hr" or "2 hrs" doesn't mean it will be that long.
I queued up last night, got 17 minutes,. Then when the number of people in the queue became less the time jumped to "< 1hr" then jumped to some greater time and then lowered to 14 minutes.
Probably took a total of 15 minutes to get into the game.
Never showed anything else than "> 1 h". So far.

I find it rather amusing how badly programmed this is plus the incompetence of Trion with giving everyone patron and other major faffing around.
Not that i really care, i am in no rush.
I agree, having to disable AV software and/or MSE just to get the game to run?! WTF seriously? I spent all day yesterday trying to get past the splash screen, eventually I managed to do it. Then I sat in queue for 6 hours and got down to position 644 and the game froze! I think I am gonna let this game sit for a while until they can work out the issues cause there are still a lot apparently. Like you, I am in no rush.
Just woaw! Didn't expected someone would even bother to play this crap game.

I am having a lot of fun playing FFXI. I just want to log into AA and get the LP regen and make some quick money mining and selling stones. I start playing AA for real when this shit blows over in a month or two.

Nice try everone but you really need to learn how to read. It's an essential skill for forums you know.
May be the game still treats you like a f2p player even though your status is mistakenly shown as patron. The game however treats you like the f2p player you are so I guess that makes it a non issue.
On the first day I was F2P and was given the incorrect status of Patron. I had a long queue, about 45 mins on the server I chose. But I did notice that even though it said I was patron on the character screen I was not receiving the patron benefits
Last night I paid for patron and my queue was 1 person. Today at 12pm EST I logged on and my queue was 2 people.
I'm not sure that you are getting the patron benefits even though the character screen says you have it. Are you accumulating LP at the Patron rate?
That is the first thing I noticed on my account. I was earning the F2P LP rate until I paid.
Of course the other thing could just be the server you are playing on...
Originally posted by DMKano Patron works for me - 564 queue for my patron account, 2342 for my free accouMt on the same server.
Is your queue on char selecting screen or befor enter server? Because mine is befor enter server, dont say anything about patrons and F2P. Im a patron either.
Patrons get priority before freeloaders - but not the freeloaders ingame already. Tons of people abusing the afk kick timer and a response was given by trion to act on this matter.
If they open 25 servers like Russia most of these people will be complaining about derath servers post 2 months.
They should have made this game Subscription only....

Why would they give Patrons priority when in other games some F2P players spend upwards of $1000+ in the cash shop?

THEY MADE EVERY F2P PLAYER A PATRON UNTIL THE 19TH OF SEPTEMBER.
THAT IS WHY THE QUEUES ARE SO LONG BECAUSE EVERYONE IS A PATRON FOR NOW.

Im definitely not a patron
The error was corrected in last night's server maintenance.
Patron status was removed from all those accounts that shouldn't have it.
The fix was so effective that it even removed the Patron status from some accounts that SHOULD have it !
Just woaw! Didn't expected someone would even bother to play this crap game.

I dont believe it shows if you are patron or not in the Queue now. I tried to log in with two accounts,
Patron : 1342
F2P: 1353
I am sure the difference is the time it took me to exit and relog. So for me patron status didnt change the Queue at all.

wooo! EU FTW boooys! No q for me there! every time i go to log in there is no q at all on any server! IN YO FACE!
and by giving patrons VIP status would make the game p2w
