Many times on USEast in the past, I would get stuck in Que around 5 or 6 just waiting for my game to appear. After awhile of the que never going any lower and wondering what happened, I would either give up or try a different toon.
Well, I then tried something new a few weeks ago. When I would get stuck at 5, I would wait a minute or so. When it didnt go lower, I would click on join game, and then enter the game name and password I was trying to create in QUE. It then allowed me to join the game I had created. I dont know what is going on that the game doesnt automatically start, but it is obviously making the game.
If a lot of players are not realizing this, there could be a TON of games being created and no one in them, wasting server memory, as they stay open for five minutes now.
