Square's Idiocy

Another generic rant but:
Japan has 25 servers for 180 million people Japan is an island
Europe is a continent with 800 million people, we get 6 servers

our servers are overloading cause theres too many people, so instead of making more servers square limits access to the ones we have???

Absolutely disgusted with this, you'd think after screwing up the first version of the game the'd make a better effort, i bought the collectors edition, biggest mistake ever!

SORT IT OUT SQUARE, tomorrow you release officially, you can't handle early access... you're gonna be royally ...... tomorrow!!!

As was pointed out to me on Mumble, JP servers are also handling Oceanic consumers.

Let me guess, you are some kind of professionnal MMO maker and you know how to handle this more than Square ?

Square have their reasons, crying won't change a thing. They are aware there are issues right now...

He mean's of all the NA/EU server list 6 are dedicated servers for EU players. The rest are NA.

From the 25 in the NA/EU datacenter only 6 are marked as EU. It's is just a suggestion, but still...

Are you kidding me? At this rate even a blind pig is a more professional "MMO maker". I've played just about every MMO launch to date, this is by far beyond the biggest failure of them all. Do you have any idea just how many people haven't been able to even touch the game even though it's promised that you get "early access" by pre ordering? I really wonder what drives your fanboyism to this extent.

Ether you are full of it about "playing about every MMO launch" or you have memory problems. WoW, AO, and Vanguard at the very least are as of yet worse (that could of course change if this keeps going on.)

Not at all saying I am happy with this mess but they are still a far freaking cry from the worst. They have at least 2 more weeks of near unplayability before they come close.

My bad, what I meant was just about every triple A mmo. But it's funny that you drag in and compare games that launched with hardware that was available 8-10 years ago to the current meta. Also, even with all the lag I had in WoW and the massive que times, I was still able to play. I'd take that over not being able to log in at all.

Yes it was older hardware and indeed we should really be at a time where these problems should be at least far lesser then they are but that has nothing to do with what you said. What you said was a load of BS pain and simple. And you still doing it. The vast majority of ppl could not play so much as get from one end of a town to another at WoWs launch. Calling that "playing" is laughable.

At least they could log in to attempt play. That fact alone makes the WoW launch better...

Speaking of idiocy, I hope I am missing something here. I actually wanted to ask a question without bashing anyone (My husband was in Copperbell last night, a nice marauder + some other job BP dropped, he couldn't roll Need on it, why is that? His level was fine, and he's marauder, it went Greed to a thaumaturge who couldn't wear it, nor trade it)...

...except I apparently can't post. What? "New thread cannot be created due to either you have reached to your daily limit or your main character's level is not high enough."

I have a 19 Arcanist, and as a result I can't post my own thread in general discussions on a forum (it was my only post in over 24 hours)? Wtf indeed, lol.

The fact that the "Europe" servers are in the SAME servers as tne "North America" servers and hold no ACTUAL advantage for european players at all not even ping time and are marked as such only because in the previous version of the game there were so FEW european players that they were often playing in deserted servers because of mismatched peak times that they had to label a server for EU so those guys could play together.

The fact that even the japanese servers are actually international and not region-locked and heavens above even my brazilian internet plays there with nearly no lag. also indicates that everyone could also make characters there instead of the servers labelled NA. SE believed there were enough people who would like to play in the JP-based servers, that as their only mistake, not thinking that their players are absolute morons

Back to your hole with you.... not the population counts, the number of customers counts. It might be disappointing, but the majority of players is japanese, while a minority is european - thats why theres only a few eu servers. Now shoo. :3

If you don't plan on supporting a part of your player base, you don't sell your product to the given player base. Seriously stop being an imbecile.

Except you couldn't, first day or 2 servers were offline for almost the whole day, and the servers crashed a lot the first 2 week.

It is now oceanic prime time (21:00) and a rather "low latency" time in europe (14:00 GMT+2) and still the euro servers aren't working and the JP ones are.

This is so fucking ridiculous I can hardly find words for it. How to fuck can even the most stupid fanboy explain this favoritism towards a region in the world?
The amount of arrogance of SE towards the filthy gajins who apparently dont matter even when they make up a rather large part of the sales is just astonishing to me.
