    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    Main Server
    Short title for your suggestion:
    Add Join Queues
    What are you suggesting:
    I think we should add a queue to join for main. The server has been full constantly for days. Supporters could still bypass to the front of the line, but currently there is no "line" just a shit shot in the dark as to who gets in.
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    This would be a good addition because the alternative is that main will become a de facto supporters only server. Towns will literally be uninhabited because builders and new players can't get in. Some people who have played for a while on main but now can't get in will quit ECC entirely. Plus, it would just be nice if there were some structure as to who got in.

    It wouldn't de-value being a supporter at all (because I know that's what the argument will be), because there would still be a wait. It shouldn't be a snipe-fest at the main gate to see who can get in. If you've been waiting 30 minutes to get in, I think you should have priority.

    seeing a number in queue rather than just 'the server is full' would help

    heck, seeing something like "the server capacity is at [number] of [number]" would be helpful. I'm gonna +1 this, if only to push towards something better than some blank 'no' when you try to switch servers.

    A queue would do nothing unless we had a hard limit that didn't let supporters join over the limit.
    Main is almost always 20 players over the actual limit, as such a queue won't do anything, you'll always be in the queue and won't get in for hours on end. Literally.

    The only possibility is adding a prioritized queue system, dropping the supporters bypass limit functionality completely, and giving supporters priority in the queue. This is already a system I'm investigating.

    Simply "add a queue" solves nothing. There is far more to it than people realize. ;)
