"This world is currently full"
Is the game supposed to close itself after "This World is currently full. Please wait until an opening is available and try again. If you are on trial, you cannot log in while there is a queue." if you are on trial?

I'm free trial too and got the same message. I think Free Trial players won't be able to log in while there is a queue. It wouldn't be fair for the paying subscribers.

Brand new players will be put off by this though i think.

It's just funny how the game basically says "you miserable f2ps are not even allowed to stay in the menu". They could at least add the way to check how big the queue is now to see if you have a chance or not

No chance my dude. I'm a paying player but i haven't been able to log in for the past 5 hours. But that is expected when a new expansion is out.

Been checking the status most of the day. There were 61k players ingame on steam alone this morning. Right now we have 83k players ingame. Its looking like we won't get much of a chance to play tonight.

I agree why is the game completely closing after login attempt? having to input login details every time. Annoying.

i dont want to play this game anymore, just waiting out of curiosity how long it will take asfter all and listening to music. :) (p.s. new release of LP on tidal is not bad at all).

Free trial players have much lower priority to get into the game than paying customers, I'd say it should be pretty obvious why.

It sucks, I know. But it sucks for us paying customers too. I've been sitting in queue for an hour now and still over 1000 ahead of me.

Game isn't going anywhere, no rush.

Ah, new expansion came out. I'm a free trial player who's been playing for 1 month. There was ALWAYS a queue of 15 to 35 people, which seemed suspiciously consistent to me. Made me wonder if they lie about having a queue for the sake of looking popular. I even made characters for multiple servers to see the queues and eventually picked one after doing research on which ones are 'quiet'.

Still a short queue no matter what.

Then they say I can't play on free trial if there's a queue.... :P

If they just released a new expansion though, I guess I can understand. Free players can play when they have a fake queue, but not when the servers have a REAL queue.

Got it.

Can confirm it is the free trial that is kicking you off the game. Just purchased the starter edition (30days free game time) and it's put me in the queue.

I am lv51 and have enjoyed the game so far so there wasn't much content on the free trial for me to see so decided to upgrade to full-game.

For 9.99 i feel it was worth it. After the 30 days is up i'll then decide if it's worth getting Endwalker and paying for a Sub.

Paying customers get let in first, as they should.

I've really enjoyed the game so far. I was sure I'd buy it after getting to 60. I probably still will, assuming I can play some more eventually. It's easy to feel a little bit deceived, but how angry can I get about a game that's been FREE so far.

I'm still only a level 26 or so Conjurer. And a level 2 or 3 thaumaturge. (Had to get a glimpse of the black magic :P) I chose Conjurer based on the fact that it starts in the forested capital. :P I figured if I was going to just dink around in a free game, it should be in a nice forest.

Got it.

SE has a limit on number of simultaneous log ins to avoid issues when players log in to a specific character. They allow for 100 players per minute to log in. That's why there's usually always a queue and it's usually never very long.

If after a minute goes by and the number doesn't decrease or decreases by less than 100 if the queue is greater than 100, it means the world is actually full.

When I hoped into the queue at around 4 pm, I was just over 1300 in queue. This means I had at least a 14 minute wait to get into the game. It's been about 25 minutes now as there have been multiple times where a minute has passed and the number doesn't decrease.
