ATTN: Queue QQers
For very obvious reasons, the queue is being throttled, and I will list them below;
-
The servers were unstable, and as such, game quality was impacted (probably mass amounts of lag), therefore, they probably kicked the servers offline, rebooted them, and instigated queue status, as to help negate the lag.
-
All the kiddies are getting home from school, so peak time is picking up right now. Therefore, if they let in 20000+ people all at once, the servers will be overloaded, and your games will lag so horribly that you'll be making "QQ why so much lag rito" threads instead.
-
Lastly, there were bugs that needed to be worked out, and rather than completely take the servers down, Rito was at least nice enough to allow them to stay up while they worked on a live hotfix.
Agreed, yeah, Rito should probably try to fix their stuff BEFORE releasing patches to live, HOWEVER, that's not always possible.
TL;DR fixing server problems isn't as simple as "Turn it off, now turn it back on", stop QQing.
Edit - Your downvotes sustain me.
