With the amount of sheer inadequacy that took place over the maintenance periods of Early Access weekend, I am completely expecting their server upgrades to not be enough.
I just have the strangest feeling when everything goes up next week, it simply won't be enough. THAT would be the death of the game, unfortunately.
I really hope they are over-preparing.

Yes. Too many people paying and wanting to play and them not being able to support them all even with a significantly expanded server base would be the death of the game....
Yes...
oh wait.
No. -

It's possible the server upgrades aren't big enough. If the people having to wait to play all week(or since EA) can't play by next week AFTER upgrades? They will walk. For good.
You're also speculating that it'll be a "significantly expanded server base". And that's precisely my point. It may not be enough. -

the first month is free there is a reason they don't charge you at first

Once those pass through we are going to be met likely with MORE problems than we have now. Is it the end? No every MMO has had horrible spells of inadequacy and managed to bounce back regardless of how much hate each MMO generated.Quote:

I choose to be optimistic, and I sincerely hope that all issues related to logging in will be resolved by next week.

After watching them in beta four shut down the server to fix error 90000, repeat the errors, bring it down to fix error 90000 and have it unsolved because half the configuration was not made, and then have them artificially lower the limits for the world --- you could call me guardedly optimistic.

So... maybe you can hold off on the blind insults and quirky buzz words for a minute?
My statement is to say that the issues they're having are extremely positive for the game and the company.
Even if "they will walk", the game already has enough servers to support strong revenue and positive earnings.
Now they're adding more servers, which will support more subscriptions, which will improve that further.
If the server upgrade isn't enough AND that pisses people off enough to leave (two fast assumptions imo),
it will free up the servers and the remaining players (plenty for positive earnings and a successful game) will be able to play just fine and have no reason to leave. -

I don't think the servers will really be fixed until they allow server transfers. Mog Station has it listed as coming mid September but I don't think it will be that early maybe October.

08-29-2013, 01:30 AMCyrusmidnightThe only thing i'm sure of is that it won't be an will never be the death of the game. It might be death in your heart but it won't be in mine as many other players around this community.Quote:

The game is out for only about only 24hours at the most and the disconnection error are pretty much resolved with the limitation.
I would suggest to wait and see and not speculate negatively on what is gonna happen next. This is an MMORPG, in this kind of world everything in term of technology can be upgraded and stabilized. In my opinion, World of Warcraft servers could crash at any moments!
SE will do what is necessary to make their clients happy. Just give them the time to get there.

Thankfully, this game isn't being released around another MMO release or it would be in major trouble. Either way, it's already getting a lot of bad press. That's not good either.
People on the fence? Not good for them, they are being told to stay away. -
08-29-2013, 01:34 AMRurushanIt isn't a 'free' month, you get 'a month where you don't have to pay the subscription fee'. This isn't like a free trial where you can simply pick up the game and give it a try. You have to PAY for the game in the first place to get the month of 'free' play. You see where I'm going with this?Quote:

It's good business to call it that, it fools people into thinking they are getting more than what they paid for. -

08-29-2013, 01:36 AMDorfentymeWe've all seen THAT link. I was asking him to provide the link that said they would have it ready in a couple days. Which he then corrected that the article said "next week".Quote:

I have faith (for now) that they will figure something out
-
08-29-2013, 01:51 AMStumbleinaThe reason they don't charge you at first is because a player who just dropped 25-50 dollars on a game doesn't want to immediately have to pay 15 dollars to access said game and try it. This has NOTHING to do with the fact that all MMOs have some issues at launch. Someone who buys the game 3 months from now when all these problems are gone also get that 30 free days.Quote:

but i like error 1017 that i have to continually manually attempt to log in everytime it occurs.. in the hope i may get in that queue below 100 (anything over 100 crashes to the error 1017 message).
i mean it's a pathetic poorly executed system, but we should be thankful it works... occasionally.. usually... for other people... at 4am in the morning.
it's not like we're paying to have our servers mainta.. ooh wait... it's not like we've put in so many hours onto our chara.. oooh wait... hmm... so why are they going to charge me, when i can't play again?
funny now you can type in error 1017 into google and it's a pretty decent search result now (none of it good or positive), as this continues ..... -munches popcorn- fail is fail. -
