Zoning...Please Wait

[Jerrysn]

I can never remember what server I was on, but heres the deal-

Logged onto a green server, been playing on it a bit - prolly 20 players or so. I'm sure someone knows me as Krunch the Monk

Point is, I was able to zone maybe 1 out of 5 tries IF the zone I wanted to go to was empty (no players).

On failures to zone I never did get the zoning message on the screen and after a 5 to 10 minute timeout, I would be relocated to the homepoint (i'm assuming) of the zone.

Now if the zone was already occupied by at least one other player, I had no problem zoning - I would get the message on the screen and zone rsther quickly - at least compared to EQLive.


Thing is I don't mind sharing a zone, in fact would prefer it - but the respawn rates are too slow too keep more that one person occupied, so I'd feel like a KSer trying to share a zone with other player(s).

Anywhos I digress.......

Here's guessing that the server only had so many zones avaliable.
What I would like to see is instead of having to wait 5-10 minutes to unsuccesfully zone, is code that checks for zone avaliabilty upon trying to zone and will instantly TP you back to the zones homepoint if there aren't any zones avaliable.
