Am I being realistic?

Before you flame others in a thread about the server issues please think about that question. I don't think most of you realize how servers work and what is going on. Basically SE has WAY more players than they expected for EA and probably launch too. They probably didn't find this out until you did. You can't know how many people are going to log on until they actually LOG ON. Then once you see "oh crap we need way more servers plus their are issues with current ones" you have to get more servers which takes time.

SE wants to make money so they are going to work as fast as possible to fix things so that people actually play. That being said having a large player base is a good thing. The more people that play the more content we will get. So basically just wait it out for a few days and hopefully things will turn around. If they don't then rage on. Till then please stop flaming. It doesn't help. Letting SE know there are issues does help. Whining does not.

how is it more than expected? they sold us the god damn early access... they knew to the exact number how many people there would be.......

I can instantly add more. Its called Amazon. You can preorder at any time. Plus just because you preorder it doesn't mean your gunna log in during early access.

You are right that you can add more via Amazon, but still that few thousand or so that are still pre-ordering could have still been accounted for. I would say that probably 10% of the people that are pre-ordering now are the people that were trying to fix their issue with link their early access with the wrong service account. I was one of them and they didn't even respond to my email till this afternoon, which I had already fixed by that time. In this era of gaming companies (especially older ones) should know to expect more when it comes to servers needed for online play. You get 1000 pre-orders, expect 2000 people to play. I feel it will be worse come midnight tomorrow, as Gamestop will be doing a midnight release, you also will have all the people that did not try to play this weekend, and all the people that will play after their friends tell them to get it. I feel this first weekend will probably be worst, but I will hope for the best.
