I made this as a new thread so the maximum amount of people can see this but this morning the Devs have let us know that they are preparing "facilities" to accommodate new servers as early as next week so we just need to try to put up with all the log in issues this week.
Cited from this letter:

This will only help if the people that are already playing across multiple servers are given the option of free server transfers before they open the floodgates.

Yeah, the JAPAN data center. They have mentioned no plans to fix/address the NA/EU servers.
-
08-28-2013, 01:35 AMSho86Yep, first thing I noticed too... NA/EU got screwed up? Who cares.... JP servers? HOLY CRAP FIX IT NOW. At least one good thing of the influx of NA/EU on JP servers, we probably sparked this.Quote:

I dont care about new servers...
I care that i can't even get into MY server. I can understand closing character creation for a limited time till the problem is resolved...AND offering character transfer to help mitigate servers.
But not being able to long in...or worse still...not having a qeue system and forcing me to click over and over again for hours in hopes i get lucky enough to play...is uncalled for and infuriating. -

Its almost like they dont want us playing... -

Well I assume if they are going to purchase a facility for japanese servers they would also address North American server issues as well but maybe i'm just assuming too much there.

08-28-2013, 01:42 AMSho86Before their recent track record, I would have agreed with you. But they way they are handling things, I actually doubt they'll expend money for NA/EU right now or anytime soon.Quote:

Too little too late. My friends that cant play with me are already getting refunds, and I am about to follow suit. SE has really dropped the ball on this one.

But most of my friends can't log in during there free time, or even create characters. my guild that plays almost ALL mmos together...are already decided what else to play. Most of them dont want to bother with this.
Bugs are one thing, but not being able to play or even wait in a qeue is just bad for business. No one wants to click over and over and over again in hopes they might be able to play. its more tedious then actual work...just to sign in!
personally...i think the game is fantastic! i fricking love it! but i agree with them. Not being able to play is a huge turn off for everyone. and to be frank...if my friends leave...so will i. SE has till the weekend before i'm done. -

That is a huge failure....end of story -

the Game is a huge success access is the challenge. We need to be patient, It bears repeating as often as necessary. Things do not come immediately or happen as fast as we may wish. It is an important lesson in life as well as with this game. I am sorry if people are so impatient that they leave before they can enjoy things..but that is their choice and it looks like plenty of others who DO have patience will replace them. It is your choice.

08-28-2013, 01:56 AMntall1I really like the game, and want to continue to play it, but if all my friends have already gotten refunds, and refuse to play, than what reason should I stick around for. My friends and I play all MMO's together, we do not play them as a single player game. I want to continue on, but they are already off looking for something else after having gotten a refund already. I stuck with this thru the betas, and early access bs, and this is still going on. I can with no confidence say that these issues will be fixed in a timely manner.Quote:

They should be booting idle characters and make a queue.
