Anyone else expecting the new data center upgrades to not be enough?

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.

Guess you're a fanboy and didn't even read my post.

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.

Damn dude you're quick to the trigger. Speaking of not reading posts.....

I haven't once defended this launch and have been outspoken in my dis-satisfaction with the release and lack of support.
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.

But you're assuming you know that they will have a ton of positive earnings and enough subs. The constant errors, the server errors, it could all deter more than people believe.

I want the game to succeed, I'd love for this game to be the MMO that I play until the next big MMO.

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.
