Am I the only one who hasn't had a single issue with EW?

Remember OP, this forum is not representative of the wider game community, it never was. It gives a horribly skewed perspective, almost always to the negative, of just about anything. If you believe these forums this 'great community by the way' as some would coin it is one of the most horrible and toxic MMO communities out there, you can almost believe even WoW has it better if you take this forum's word for it.

Ergo, no, you're not the only one who isn't having issues. Countless of us experience either only minimal issues or none at all.

Just a bit annoying, that I have to check my position every now and then just to be sure I am not stuck.

What do you mean with 10k queue is ok? Where you get thrown out from every 30-60 minutes and if you don't babysit the queue you start again? And 10k queue means something like 6hrs waiting?

It's been pretty smooth for me so far.

I've logged on in the morning and early afternoon over the weekend and never hit a queue more than five minutes (on Sargatanas). I haven't been kicked, nor have I had any lag problems. We'll see how it goes when I try to log on in prime time after work tonight.

So far, just good, clean gaming.

well, I have a lot of stuff to do any time of the day and plenty of other games I can play while in queue
if you don't have such an opportunity, I am sorry
plus there are plenty of other things going on in the world, which are far more worse then a queue in a video game
if I am going to freak out about it too - probably will go insane

So far for me the only major issue is the queue time (the 2002 error i had once was during the queue and it kept my spot), saturday with a queue of 3500 it took me about 3-3.5 hours to get in. Sunday i couldnt get in (checking at 22:00 the queue was 8000). But at the same time, that was expected.

The second issue is that i do not have EW (still in HW), and there sadly are no servers without EW to release the load a bit for them. (but obviously that would hinder the EW preorders).

The other issue is that i did also pay to be able to play with my f2p friends. And thats a part that currently isnt available. Those 7 days at least do compensate on that part. But i wonder if its going to compensate all days on that, as i can imagine that if queues are 20mins, but still without f2p, that the time is just going to continue, even though i still cant play with my friends (and no, telling them to pay is not an option. not everyone has a good enough financial situation so are forced to stick to f2p games).

First two days of EA didn't have an issue, but yesterday took me 2 hours to login. Kept getting hit with the 2002 error and lower in que I got the more it kept hitting me with 2002. Lucky enough was able to keep my que spot each time, but 2 hours to just login is a bit blah. Otherwise, everything else beyond that has been smooth.

Other than the large queue and 2002 errors I get when I get home (during peak times and I play on Levithan to big server) when I actually get in the game it's fine.


And the disconnect and large queue doesn't make me upset it's pretty normal for a xpac early release. If I try for an hour and can't get in I just go do something else for a bit.

Once you're in, the game is perfectly fine. I've only experienced the smallest lag on a handful of quests such as NPCs not walking away immediately.

Getting passed Log in: Savage, on the other hand is a nightmare. Queues are relatively painless between 8-9am EST but once you get to 11am and beyond, good luck. During 3pm onward, it's practically impossible, what with the constant 2002 errors. Frankly, their queuing system is awful. It shouldn't just assume you're AFK when it literally forces you to do nothing. This is definitely something they need to look into improving for future expansions. Long queues are fine. Disappointing but fine... provided you aren't repeatedly disconnected from them.

i've had no issues, an i'm on the light datacenter which is supposed to be the worst. There's quite a few ppl who are having no problems I think, it's just the largely playing the game instead of posting here.

People's experience will come down to whether their schedule/life responsibilities allows them to log in early, and not leave their PC for more than 30 minutes for the rest of the day. People in this boat are all having a merry time and are probably near finishing/have finished the MSQ.

Anyone not in this boat will likely be experiencing varying degrees of frustration, dependent on luck with 2002's and whether you are able, or have the patience, to babysit your PC watching a queue number based on a system which may or may not let you in the game at some point the same day.
