players in queue
- No representative character has been set.
I've been trying to log into Tumael for approximately 1.5 hours.
When I started, there were around 530 players ahead of me. After roughly 90 minutes, I'm still at 230.
I wouldn't mind waiting in a queue like this if the server population actually represented hundreds of active players. The problem is that a significant portion of the low-level population appears to consist of bot/RMT accounts.
We've all seen the repeated RMT adverti*****ts, su****iously named characters, and large numbers of seemingly automated low-level characters. New accounts also appear almost immediately after blocking/reporting them.
So the question is:
How many of the players occupying these server slots are actually real players?
If legitimate players are spending 1–2 hours waiting to enter the game while automated/RMT accounts are consuming server capacity, this is more than just a queue-time issue.
