Not just botters. Hack shields are notorious for causing issues on systems when they have never even run a 'hack' program before..... More often then not it just forces people to give up any chance of playing with it.
I wouldn't worry so much Hackshield will properly go with it official release like in DP.
So far I know bigger things are a collective effort in Arche Age which is by itself neutral. Bots in this game? I don't know you could use them as substitute but the chance to been caught in this game sounds high. The game sounds much like it demand from the gamers a lot of social skills at least more than you will find in other MMORPG's

Anyway I can't play it at the moment my hard drive is nearly full and I'm questing DP through which is ...............demanding.

Open beta starts on the 4th and lasts through the 8th. However, be aware that there will be one more final wipe after this beta!

The official release date is on the 16th. No more wipes after that. Unfortunately, the northern continent will remain locked and unavailable for ~2 months (subject to change), making certain game functionality unavailable. For one, this means farm tractors cannot be crafted, nor can archaneum trees be planted/harvested.

Lots of good game info available here: http://db.archeagedb.net/Main_Page

every server is queued, lowest "projected wait time" was 35 mins, this is 12 hours after launch.

Might try again in a few days when the honeymoon wears off.

I was one of the first people logged in, and I haven't logged off since (well, not long enough to get thrown back into the queue) so I've been kind of lucky there.
Also, they really botched patron status. I paid for it, and haven't received patron status. Other people have patron status that haven't even paid for it. It's a huge mess.

Anyways, if you do manage to get in, I wrote up a script to prevent idle-kicks. Compatible with MM2:

Code: Select all

local timeLeft;
local win;
local secondsBetweenActions = 10*60; -- 10*60 = 10 minutes

local targetWindowClass = "ArcheAge";
local targetWindowName = "- ArcheAge - *";

function macro.init()
	timeLeft = 0;
	win = window.find(targetWindowName, targetWindowClass);

	if( win ) then
		printf("ArcheAge window found: 0x%X\n", win);
		printf("You can now walk away from the computer!\n");
		timeLeft = 3;
	else
		printf("You need to have ArcheAge running. Start it, focus the window, and press the END key on your keyboard.\n");
	end
end

function macro.main(dt)
	timeLeft = timeLeft - dt;
	if( win and timeLeft < 0 ) then
		timeLeft = secondsBetweenActions;
		printf("Preventing idle in Arche Age\t%s\n", os.date("%I:%M %p"));
		keyboard.virtualPress(win, key.VK_END);
	end

	return true;
end

function macro.event(e, data1, data2, data3)
	if( e == "keypressed" ) then
		if( data1 == key.VK_END ) then
			local newWin = window.getFocusHwnd();
			local newClass = window.getClassName(newWin);

			if( newClass == targetWindowClass ) then
				printf("ArcheAge target window has been changed: 0x%X.\n", newWin);
				win = window.getFocusHwnd();
				timeLeft = 3;
			end
		end
	end
end

I'll give it a try if I ever need to go afk, which I usually do.

Within MyDocuments/ArcheAge there is a config file called system.cfg. It contains a number of settings, including resolution and disconnect timer. I havn't tried (not game to try lol) but I wonder if increasing the value to a much larger number would avoid the auto logout.

Code: Select all

-- [SYSTEM CONFIGURATION]
-- WARNING! THIS FILE IS GENERATED BY THE SYSTEM! EDITING IS NOT RECOMMENDED!

sys_spec_full = 1
r_driver = "DX10"
r_multithreaded = 1
option_sound = 4
r_windowx = -1
r_windowy = -1
r_width = 1600
r_height = 900
r_fullscreen = 1
r_vsync = 0
login_first_movie = 1
ucc_ver = 2
auto_disconnect_timer = 30

well yesterday was a 2.5 hour que, today was 3.5 hours.

Chat screen full of spam, I hope they get on top of the spammers so more players can get into the game.

AFK kicking is server-sided, so changing your settings won't help. I think that setting is there for things like lagging. That is, it'll only keep trying up to that amount (probably in seconds), and then give up and forcefully disconnect.

They had much bigger problems to take care of first. I finally got my patron status just this morning. There's a huge backlog of other problems that are affecting the ability to play the game or access paid features.

queue is about 3 hours again today, I was down about half way and my son decided he wanted to play on the PC and clicked to exit game, so it exited queue =(

entered queue again on my laptop, sigh, I hope these queues only last a week tops, not sure I will bother if the queue is going to be 2+ hours every day.

They are working on adding more servers. That should help significantly.

The login que is just that, login. If I stopped using the function, I would get kicked out of game, but only back to the character selection screen. Meaning I don't have to re-enter the que. At least, that's what happened to my friend.

So just pressing END works, too? Interesting. I thought you had to move, but haven't really tested it much.

I updated the script a bit. Now you don't have to target the window, it'll do it automatically. Plus it won't break if you happen to press END on another window while it is running.

I can just imagine people using autoclickers or something while they sleep so they don't have to queue when they wake up =(

You do get kicked but you have a time frame where you can log back in straight away, if you exceed that time then you enter the queue, not sure on it's exact time though.

I watched some TV with my other half and just left game sitting there, it kicked me out of course and then when I went to log in I was queued at 2500, which is 2-3 hours. I wasn't bothered as I am going to bed anyway but yeah when I go to play it tomorrow it will be a 2-3 hour queue just to get into game.

hmm ok. Well last night I went to bed with a 700 que still to go. 6 hours later when I got up, I was sitting on the character screen. So I think, as long as you are on the character screen, the auto-kick doesn't apply.

well 4500 queue seems normal the last 2 days, usually 3-4 hours. Today it started at 4300 and 4 hours later it is still 2800, lots of people not getting kicked I'd say or just sitting at character screen.
At this rate it could take 8 hours to get into the game =(

down to 1800 now =(

so at that rate another 3 hours to go..


--=== Added ===--

After 7 hours in the queue (down to 1500), while I was doing some weeding my son decides to get on my laptop and hit exit, it was literally only a few minutes later that I started it again and now I am back to 2900 in queue.

"Say hello to the new North American ArcheAge servers: Ezi and Lucius!"

Within a couple of hours both servers were queued.

I wonder what % of logged in accounts are just gold spammers.

I am just not feeling the spirit of playing this game lol
