The Round Table. A fair debate thread...

[Asriah]

So, as for saying it is the minority/majority, without numbers it is really speculation at this point. Even if you count that there are 50k people on the forums because they are having issues, how many are playing? I don't have an answer, just point out that bringing up that there is a majority/minority with issues/no issues is silly (unless you have data, then please share, I love numbers ).

Question though: what do you mean extending early access? Not sure I saw that note. Also, I do like topics that are well thought out with punctuation. Thanks .

Official Forums being the home to the vocal minorities is actually very typical of any MMORPG. I mean lets say that for all 25 NA/EU servers the max capacity load for each is 1000. This of course does not include those trying to access them. Do you see even a fraction of that number posting here? What about those who are just browsing? Do you think it takes more than 50% of that, or 25% of that to completely hang up these forums?

It's just simple logic really, even if it's speculation.

Early Access Period
August 24, 2013 (Saturday), 2:00 a.m. to August 29, 2013 (Thursday), 11:59 p.m. (PDT)

Alright, that confuses me a bit. If the game launches tomorrow (27th), how is it early access through the 29th?

It essentially means the free month everyone who preordered got starts Friday instead of tomorrow (Same with the 2 weeks for welcome back campaign people). Everyone gets to play starting tomorrow but SE has given 2 extra free days as compensation for the problems.
