This is still a better launch than WoW ever dreamed of.

If you want me to be blunt, sir, a long queue time actually means that the game was successful- more successful than the developers expected because they already added and reinforced the servers.

So yes, this was a successful launch.

Every time you get the queue message remember that :)

Every time I get from work I get to enjoy typing my password over and over to get the beautiful 2002 error on Chaos datacenter while all the other datacenters work normally...

Nor is it on the PSN Play Store - where I pre-ordered it.

This guy is kind of right, where ...

But it's vague, and can mean whatever you want it to mean, and seems only to apply to early access.

Regardless, it doesn't matter. I should've waited until I had a character worthy of Heavensward before buying. I'll be more cautious in the future with SE's DLC stuff. 仕方ない。*shrugs*

But enough about my issues. I think I derailed this thread enough. So, back on topic:

I'm on a JST low-pop server, and logged on at EST prime time login times. No issues all weekend. :) Understandably, for those on heavy-pop servers, it was pretty rough, but as some have said, not too bad compared to some of the WoW horror stories. lol

I am really enjoying this queue, crash, and type password again simulator.

It is way more addictive than Candy Crush I tell you!! Then again, I am playing on Japanese server clusters.... so nice, so quiet, so easy to log in, since my prime time is their morning time. And their prime time is my working time :)

Smoother launch than Warlords of Dreanor.
