You need an idle system

[Commander ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥]

Can't play on servers with friends because the servers have low population but are maxed capacity. I went away for over 3 hours, and was still chilling at my base when I sat back down. This would fix SO many issues, and will keep you from needing to consolidate a million servers once the new game fad dies down.

Currently, you're lucky if you can get 2 or 3 friends into a server if you coordinate within seconds. Usually the last one or two now can't because the server is max load.

A 30 minute idle would kick all the lingerers and would help tremendously with that. Low population and a full server will never be successful if every server is low yet packed full.

An idle kick system will not do any difference when the servers have a character creation cap.

[Not_Tola]

Once you create a character in a certain server, it stays there. Doesn't matter if you're offline or online. So idle kick won't do anything.
