Going to the Ride-A-Thon? DONT'T GET IN LINE!

[kindomind]

Just logged on to get the 1,000 credit host prize and was shocked to see a long line for 2 of the host rooms, with one of the queues being over 75 ppl! There are at least 5 other nearly empty rooms you can enter immediately everyone! I know most of you know to search "host_" in the "popular guest rooms" window. But for those newbies (or oldies) who don't...DO! The host rooms at the top of the list are full. The less "popular" host rooms are at the bottom of the list, or not there at all. There's no need to get in line today for the ride-a-thon! There are plenty of rooms available! Search "Host_" instead of picking from the list and you'll see ALL available rooms. Lol, hope I save a few ppl from waiting See you in VMK!

That's what I noticed last night, too. A couple of rooms with over 50 (sometimes over 70) people in lines, and a few rooms with less than 5 people in the room itself. Thanks for the reminder about this!

I was just going to post the same advice. 2 rooms at the top of the list have queues of 100+ now.

I know what is up with that when so many are empty.

Hey guys...Thanks I totally forgot to look.... I did me and waited for 6o inline...but just did my DH and got right in!
So thanks for reminding us!

Thank you for posting this! I didn't even think of it.

Guess a lot of people don't know you can search for rooms and just assume that the ones on top are the only ones available. Just a while ago there was just one room at the top and it had a queue of 150+.

Oh boy, guess the word hasn't gotten out...

I feel so bad for those ppl waiting in line. Maybe I'll just walk around VMK and shout it out everywhere I go, "You don't need to get in line for Host today!"

Perhaps newer players are only expecting a single room to be open, based on their experience with waiting in line for host games. Sometimes you only see what you know!

After all, how long has it been since VMK put on an event like this with multiple room-starts?

 

[Coasterguy]

Bumping this up. When I tried right now top room had 240+ queue. Save time search for the empty rooms.

Yup, seems like it's getting even worse today. Guess that new feature where hosts can send messages to folks in line would come in real handy right now..

Actually they just did it in January Superbowl Day, before that it was Halloween I think

Lol too bad actually they don't have it like the public rooms where you can click on the room name and you get sent to less busy rooms

Well I just finsihed a few minutes ago and I looked and there was no other rooms open just that one! They did for the first hour or so and then they lowered them to one! I am sure they will open more again bc they really need to...its a long wait!

I think the ones with few people keep having to be reopened because I just searched and there is 5 open. One has 152 people in line and the others have 6 or less in the room itself
