Except when carrying capacity means you can't play the game for 30 minutes.  Literally pulling people of game and telling them to stop playing is not what I would consider a good game feature.  That is the sort of feature that might permanently drive players away.

The ultimate purpose behind playing a game is to have fun.

He's right actually.

I am a brand new player to this game today, I logged in for the first time and spent an hour making a character, loving the rich RP environment of the character creator, I looked around on the forums, came back in game and had some fun going through the initial starter tutorial which was another hour and I actually enjoyed doing it. I was excited at the idea of RP'ing in a game where people actually wanted to RP. I came up with a character history, spent time filling out a description, and I was all ready to start playing the game. I wandered out into the world and explored my surroundings outside of town. I came across a Rouge NPC that auto-attacked me and I won valiantly. I ran all over town and explored the surrounding hillsides! I was having a blast! Then I came across a Pilferer.

I reached the lovely death realm.

I spent two full hours looking for the exit, and I became angry and frustrated after searching for the first ten minutes. Yes, I attempted to follow other players only to discover they didn't know where they were going either. I ran around on every stairway I could find. I finally got so damn sick of the darkness I turned up my screens brightness to double its normal value which had the wonderful effect of hurting my eyes. Then finally I found the damn way out after two full hours of searching around. Guess what? When I found the exit, I wasnt overjoyed or relieved. I was annoyed as crap and was wondering why i just wasted 2 hours on it. So I get out of the dungeon, only to find I have to sit down for an additional 30 minutes because apparently I have a curse on me. Yay! That was fun!

I have no desire to log back in right now, none at all. I play games to have fun, and the last 2.5 hours wasn't fun in the slightest bit. I wish I had found http://www.happypenguin.org/show?PlaneShift&start=10 before I began downloading the game, I could have saved myself half of my Sunday. Right now I feel everything Mnemonic1 said in his post is correct.

If your goal was to infuriate and disorient a new player...well congratulations! You succeeded.

What a waste of time. I'm going to go delete this game now.
