SE dropped the ball

[Jennestia]

I seen no balls dropped (aside some people coming out of puberty, of course.) While I'm not 100% keen on this game, it's been pretty smooth, smoother than you'd actually see. Even WoW blew up completely when it went into early access and launch, XIV ARR did better.

LMAO at you think 100,000 concurrent players is a record for an open beta. Diablo 3 and Battlefield 3 both had over 500k concurrent players and handled it so much better than SE is. Face it. People preordered to get early access and now they dont have it. SE Dropped the ball

To be fair, I should have mentioned it was for Japanese-made/based games.

I'll show my age a bit, but I was in EQOA beta (everquest online for PS2) Also in WoW beta, This isn't a bad launch. Before some of you start casting judgment already, I would suggest trying some patience instead.

been nothing but smooth here. fast communication and the maintenance gives time for a nap to boot!

You are NOT privileged because you preordered the game. You are GIVEN those rewards.

No, I paid for it as part of the deal for buying the game earlier. Are we to treat this as phase 5 of beta? As silly as it sounds, people have justified it this way already. Launch is going to be phase 6 right? When the new patch comes out and problems come up, are we to treat that as phase 76 of beta?

So to be clear, like a brand new pair of shoes, or a car fresh off the assembly line, things like servers have to broken in to function properly in the long run?

The unavoidable truths to life:

1. Every living person on the planet must someday die.
2. In any contest in which a winner is named, there must also be a loser.
3. No AAA MMO title will be released problem-free, no matter how well-planned or well-organized it is beforehand.

It seems to only be an issue with the NA/EU Servers ( as they are new so they will have a few kinks to smooth out). Because I'm on Masamune ( JP server *with a international LS*) and it's running smoothly no issues.

the US/EU servers were not properly tested a 3 day phase doesn't = tested. the Japanese servers are what were tested and look they seem to be working just fine.
