They knew this was coming and did nothing about it.
I haven't played in 6 year and thought I would come back to the game now that I had more time to play. Apparently the game has other ideas, as even though I paid for the preorder of Endwalker and registered for early access, every time I try to log in I'm in a 3,000+ person queue that takes over half an hour to get into the game. Servers are flooded and they haven't even bothered to make new ones to fix this problem. This is a KNOWN problem that has existed for as long as MMO's have existed and they have learned nothing.
This just in!!! "The lobby connection has encountered an error!:" So I sat in queue for zalera for 20 minutes only for the game to kick me, wow, yea I'm starting to agree with other people demanding a refund for this, this is UNACCEPTABLE!
