Queues and AFK Store Fix postmortem

So you probably noticed the queues are back. What gives right? Well, even though I cannot play Aion for the past few days and for a few more, I read and found out why! Read on:

Almost immediately after they patched the AFK shops we saw a shortened queue of 15-30 minutes the next day. Unfortunately people found out a way around the 30 minute limit:

1. You can configure the client side setting (Yes its client side) by changing variables like setting the limit to "0" making afk shops go forever in your system config .ini files.
2. You can AFK anywhere OUTSIDE of a city and the 30m will not apply!

Way to go NCSoft!

Shouldn't be too much of a problem. They can always patch to read a server side variable instead. The main thing was getting the political side done, i,e, making the decision. Implementation issues are secondary. Now they they have that intent, the problem will be fixed. I hope :-)
