FF XIVEmergency Maintenances

And if that what it takes to fix this issues then i have no problem with that. because eventually it will get fixed. From what i hear there's always big problems with the launch of any MMO

SO what are you complaining about?... Oh money?

What money are you talking about. there's no subscription fee yet. you didn't have to pay anything in order to play today.

Oh you mean you preordered just so you could get early access? ohh, well is there some extra preorder fee i don't know about? oh there isn't? i didn't think there was.

Oh so then you mean the money you spent on the actual game itself. CE or regular you did pay for it your right. Soooo let's say they do decide to push back the launch of the game until the fix this issue. Is your game going to now cost more or less then the day you bought it? No it's not

You know things are bad when the White Knights start talking to themselves.

So stop complaining like you guys are victims, because your not. you didn't waste a dime of your money. And before you say "But because of all this nonsense i don't want to play anymore"...

Do you like the content? do you like FF? do you like online mmo's? that is why your hear right? so guess what. all of that will still be here even if your not. So why do you keep complaining about launch day problems. Because your a little annoyed? well too bad. go take yourself back to 3rd grade where someone cares for that attitude.

Other then that, my wallet didn't notice that there are launch issues going on because guess what. I didn't waste a penny on this weekend. You already decided you were going to buy this game based on alpha/beta's content, where there were more problems so stop pretending your going to quit because of a few bugs. The only thing making you quit is your poor attitude.

Me? I'm going to wait patiently for this to be fixed and continue having fun with the game that I'm not even paying for yet...

I think you forgot one issue. MMOs don't have a problem launching. This isn't 2004.

For instance.

Rift, near perfect launch.
Aion, near perfect launch.
GW2 had issues for about a day. But still playable, no caps, no limits, etc.
Tera had some lag spikes, for a few days. But still easily playable.
Star wars, no issues.
LOTRO, had some server issues for first few hours. Then was fine, minus the occasional spike.


And even still, when I was 5 years old. In little league baseball. You know what the coach taught me? It's always easier to run in to the ball, it's harder to run outwards to it, give yourself room.

It seems Squeenix took the approach of It's easier to ask forgiveness instead of permission.

Actually Bean, everything you said about not paying is incorrect. Every single person that's playing this weekend has already paid for the game. It's not a beta. The game is supposed to be live for those who paid in advance. We were promised early access and it was part of the deal that we got for pre-ordering the game. We are entitled to the time that they promised us and have every right to complain about their crappy service. They aren't even keeping us up to date with the issues. This is terrible customer service and there's no excuse for it when we have already paid.

what she said^

you obv don't get anything i said about the money

First off, i already paid and have been charged for my preorder. Second off no, im not going to support this game on name alone because that is just an idiotic thing to do and i don't even like FF games, they bore me to death. I preorded based off the knowledge of beta phase 3 that i found the controller gameplay really fun, and preordered for the early access, i could not care less about a silly hat or stupid cat minion thing and would sell them in a heartbeat if i could on the marketplace. I was able to log in for an hour last night until i got error 90k, and have not been able to log in since the world has always been full or it just has not been able to load NA/EU server, considering EA was the ONLY reason i preordered i do find it disheartening.


All of this is confounded when the Japanese servers are apparently running fine like clockwork (all second hand information, feel free to correct me if i'm wrong) which just makes it seem like they could not care less about there NA/EU players. Whether that is true or not i can't say but it sure seems like it! This just feels like FF11 all over again which i truely believed things would get better after their talk about how this game will make or break them as a company but it sure don't seem it.

considering how you could sell the prorder keys for 10 euro easily, yeah, paid for early access :P The OP is quite stupid it seems ^^

OP doesn't realize that some version 1.0 users who are not legacy players had to pay for the standard edition of the game. These users paid specifically for early access and in-game items. You also fail to realize that "time" is "money". Majority of the people here are complaining because they want to play a game they can't in which they took time off to play.

Also the argument that a lot of people use that an MMO is expected to have problems is a poor excuse. This is SE's 2nd chance at FFXIV. This game is supposed to help rebuild the FF name, not hurt it more. This game should be near perfect before launch.

You can't say that. I bought 3 CE editions(2 PC and 1 PS3). Just because you believe 1.0 players get the game for free, doesn't mean the most of us aren't still going to buy a Physical box to support or to put in with our collections of FF fan fare.

And there are no victims in this. You all just need to be patient and let Yoshi & Team balance out the server stresses. This is a normal process, and it differs from company to company but it still occurs.

My bad...First time I've ever pre ordered anything and now I see my error. If this game is even still in my field of vision in a month or so maybe I'll try again...maybe. Frustrating and disappointing weekend...lesson learned. Fool me once shame on you...

This. I have a 1.0 account but I am not legacy, so I bought the game again exclusively for the early access and decided to reroll with some friends. Between the 4 emergency maintenances in 2 days, severe login restrictions (their words) and general issues, this feels like a bad launch. Add the fact that the JP servers (really Asia/Oceania but its labeled JP) have not had these issues and were only brought down once to apply the changes they've been making to the NA/EU realms really leaves us with an early access that half works and pisses us off.
