Cancelled and got my money back

I really don't mind if people quit, just means my queue line is shorter. The servers are FULL, I don't think SE has anything to worry about regarding short term revenue stream with these numbers. Since the connection problems will go away due to lower population or more servers in a week or two at worst, the game will most likely thrive as there are no significant issues once you are playing.

But really, the number one thing that bothers me is this knee jerk need to post to the rest of us, your peers, not SE, about your hate, desire to quit, actual cancellation, etc. What purpose does this serve? A desire to not feel alone?

I wonder how long the'll stick around the forums after they have cancelled, lets keep an eye on them and call them out every time they post..

im not cancelling, im just mad because they were over confident, I played 1.0 from start to end even after all those issues in the release, those were even bigger, but they didn't learn the lesson, I would have preferred a buggy beta phase 2 and 3 than a buggy release, its so weird that in those 2 betas the log in and game in general was very smooth, they moved something or who knows what they did after transferring the characters to the new servers....

Seriously, users with the name GiantDongAlert with characters named God Mode will definitely not be missed by me. Ppl get mad at other ppl who "White Knight" for SE don't seem to realize how impatient they're being. The whole "SE had years to fix this!" argument is moronic, since this is all but an entirely new game compared to XIV 1.0. Yes, all these server errors are frustrating, but it happens in nearly EVERY MMORPG or simple online game. I bet a week from now, people will begin to forget all about these errors. I'm tired of these self-entitled pricks who want perfection on the first few days of PRELAUNCH. Go ahead. Rage quit. More room on the servers and less morons ingame.

Well - they've opened the floodgates and let in the tens thousands of people who haven't been in pre-pahse 4 betas ... that surely has something to do with that I'd say.

Wahhhhhhhhhh I can't play because they are working diligently to fix all issues for us wahhhhhhhhh somebody change my diaper because I couldn't wait to use the toilet wahhhhhh ect.

Tired of all these crybabies either whining about an error code, not being able to log in or crying about gear that has crap stats because they're BUSY stabilizing the game, it's not the end of the world, you spent 40-70$ on a game they spent 72 million, I'm positive they will answer all of your issues in due time, go back to wow or hentai or w/e you do with your time if you don't like it ffs.

Me being a FF11 player can tell you this game is a dream for me, everything we couldn't do in FF11 is now in FFXIV and in time they will make it more rewarding to hardcore gamers, they even said so, yes better stats, lern2read dev posts.

I'd say I experienced an 80%/10% JP/NA server up-time. If everyone wasn't so hung up on location location location and their buds were really buds, everyone who couldn't get in would be playing with their buds on a Japan server and would have experienced a good population, no queue's, and 0% duty backlogs.

You must have really broken calculator then ...

From initial 48 hours of EA (until today morning) less than 12 hours were maintenance (3+3+3+2 if memory serves me well + lets say another 1 to get back on after maintenance if you were on one of the popular servers - about 15 - 20 max each time at least what I've experienced) which results in about 75% uptime for NA/EU server and about at least 90% for JP ones. Considering that all the maintenance times were known in advance the time "off" could have been used either to explore via JP servers, eat, sleep, walk take rest. I'd hardly managed to play more even if the servers would be running 24/7 without a hitch. Was it frustrating at times to not be able to login right away or play with the friends? Sure it was. But all and all - I had a great EA weekend together with my friend and I look forward to jump back in today after work for one more last EA night session.

Im far from saying "it was a last straw" and rage quit, but SE is testing my endurance early on - when their battle for constant flow of my coins to their accounts just started.

Same was with SW: Old Republic, same was with Age of Conan, same was with Warhammer. Those games failed big time.

Saying that game has right to have "baby sickness" as some posted on this forum is truely outdated - for example old republic had almost perfect start - sure, there were queus, but no failed - "log on later noob - when? dont ask us lolz!".

I realy love FF series - i can even call my self "zealous fanboy" of ff vii, so im giving this game a chance till i see end game - end game will decide everything. If it's failed or unplayable - i'll be out faster then a fart traveling in a closed car.

With regards

I paid to watch server in maintenance and see errors on login attempt. And was quite a show! I enjoyed alot, dunno what is all the rage.
