This post really confuses me; Returning Registration is not open to Pros. It is detailed in the announcements and FAQs. You wouldn't have had the qualification flag in the upper left of your profile when you logged in pre-sale.Had you gotten through (once your walking man reached the front), I'm pretty sure you would have been rejected once you tried to log in.
Two fairy tales I always believe in while buying Comic Con tickets.1.) They have one Comic Con ID attached to one queue position as they randomized.2.) They will never cart jack you while making your purchase given that 15 min period.Guess just have to live and adjust for open reg. I was still able to get Thursday and Sunday but I will be renting out a computer lab with 50 desk top computer during the next sale. More is better. I will also be asking every friends and family I humanly know to log on to their devices. Open Reg Is going to be fun…..
I am also hoping that they are able to implement this. We need to have some way to limit the number of people actually in the waiting room.
It's much easier and cheaper setting up 10 VMs and run it from one or two physical machines for Open Reg. Good luck!
Is it bad that I'm still hoping they'll fix the Queue-it system and require a member ID to be logged in to get access to the waiting room so the wait times won't be too ridiculous? (Like they seemed to have intended to do for returning registration, but the website crashed... Ha ha. XD)
Unfortunately, this is the biggest challenge.Queue-It is what's used to handle the load to a targeted page. Most often this is used, as an example, to manage the traffic going to that particular page...think Hotelpocalypse. Of particular note is that Hotelpocalypse also doesn't require a login.In order for Configio to be able to manage the load of logging in, the Queue-It queue would have to come *before* logging in. I don't see that happening.I think it'll change next RetReg much like it was in the olden days...everyone will get their own unique link. That'll help w/the logging in challenge, and we'll be told, as before, to not share. Then it'll work as in prior years.If they (Configio) are trying to do the whole log in first...that's gonna be the big challenge.
Y’know what would’ve been nice? If CCI sent out a statement at least acknowledging the issues that occurred last Saturday and are taking steps to address the problems before Open Reg. Their last tweet regarding badges was that Thursday was sold out, and after that, all their tweets are about Storytelling Across Media at the Comic-Con Museum.It’s slightly frustrating and annoying that they are publicly silent. But then, they’ve always been like this.
I see Open Reg as being no different. Everyone in the world (with a CCI ID) can participate in Open Reg, so I see them pushing out a general link that just puts you in a queue. When you get in, that's when you put in your deets and it validates. I don't think that they force a log in at this point for OR.
