Early Access should it be longer?

How much time did they actually get to play? And this isn't like some phone game where they only charge you when you are actually using the service.

Hmmmm. Well said.

First day teething problems are MMO's way of showing who the adults are, and who the children are.

You can really tell who's never been through a truly bad MMO expansion launch.

Yeah was talking about 6.1.

Those of us who got up at 4AM knew it was going to be like this. I kept trying, kept trying, kept trying, eventually got in, and now doing MSQ.

Seems like once they disconnected the Lodestone, the lobby server was much better.

Early access is essentially the final public beta test.

Instead of a weekend of early access change it to a week. So then players won't feel so cheated. They could have just as easily started the patch Sunday night or Monday morning.

Congestion comes with the territory. I wouldn't pay attention to people complain about it.
When I managed to login on my PS5, 25-30 minutes after the game went live it was 3000 in queue, took maybe 15-20 min and I was in. Nothing too bad if we comapre ARR and SB launches.
