Weekend +
event is on +
half term (kiddies off from school for a week)=
not very easy to log in 
(As not explained in Master_wongs sticky).
Yeah its a
mmorpg, but i've never known one have traffic problems like this before. The fact its free is why there is problems. It means:
1) Its popular with people who don't want to pay a monthly subscription
2) Its popular with people who can't pay a monthly sub. ( no credit card/not old enough to own one)
3) Being free means you can flout the rules without worrying about loosing real money and getting banned. ie botters / cheaters / scammers / ccf'ers.
They should consider some of the following to solve the issues:
1) Consider making the game have a subscription. This would deter botters, reduce server load etc
2) Kick AFK'ers / people with stalls logged in for more than a certain amount of time. 6hours maybe? Ive seen the same people logged in for days that dont move .... thats one less person who could log in and play.
3) Implement a queing system when you log in, so you log in and wait for place to become free and kept informed of where you are in the que.
Theres plenty they could do to alleviate the problems and remove the scum from this game.
