I second that the mass must be educated!

Well I finally got to play for a while, but got kicked, now either getting lobby server error or the server list for NA/EU isn't loading, now I'm getting world full before even getting to select my character. It's getting worse not better, it's total incompetence after over a week since launch.

Well got to play for a short time and I suppose people should be grateful to actually play A GAME THEY HAVE PAID FOR, now getting lobby server error a lot of the time or it can't get NA/EU server list, finally got to see my character and guess what world full yet again without even being able to queue. It's an absolute joke after over a week since launch it's nothing but pure incompetence from SE. Why continue selling the digital download version for ages AFTER this happened knowing that these people can't play and will make matters much worse, well for money - stuff the customer, finally under pressure they've had no choice but to stop selling it. And why isn't there backup servers in case of this problem, ready and waiting to launch? Any reasonable company would be ready for this issue to arise, it's normal with an MMO release for it to be over busy, yet SE act as if they're surprised as the excuse, it's a very poor one. Oh and they've had over a week to implement a simple idle timeout which any sensible company would have included anyway which would have made the problems much better and also the queueing system is still bugged, E.g. you can't usually even queue at all or you get kicked while waiting back to square one. Everyone should be able to queue no matter how busy it is, it should be only a case of how long you have to wait to play, unfortunately it's an unfair lottery system. I've seen MMO free to play launches MUCH MUCH better than this with better announcements + support too, so there really is no excuse.

PS: Just got into a queue after literally 50+ tries, waited and now got lost connection to lobby server, back to square one yet again and even getting world full before it even loads the character screen. I really am sick and tired of this now. SE don't even seem bothered, they list login difficulties on the announcements as if they've only occurred for the occasional 15 minutes stating it's fixed now after a brief problem, IT'S NOT A BRIEF 15 MINUTE PROBLEM - IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE LAUNCH AND NOT RESOLVED! Square Enix are CONSIDERING adding 7 days of extra play time onto people's free time (well it's NOT free time, it's included time with the game). Well it is nice of them to CONSIDER this, this is the very least they should do and it should be extended further the way it's going as the problems are going into week 2. Well I suppose we can watch the intro movie again as that's all the game is worth as the moment, an intro movie and a lot of wasted time + frustration.

This is true genius.

well I just wanna throw in my two cents from passed MMO experiences and EULAs, general rule of thumb is, by buying their game and paying their month subscription(when time comes to actually pay) you're paying to access their servers and data, which you could say you're renting your toons as they're technically the property of SE.

Well in the EULA it generally states that things can and do happen and that you wont be able to access their services and that they'd generally inform us if they notice a mass amount of players unable to user their services or they have to restrict their services(which they have said they had to because they didn't expect such a positive response to ARR) so the whole Entitlement feeling you guys have that you should be able to get on the game any time you want during the first month when the hype is really high and they didn't really have the extra servers to handle the flood of people.

So the gist is, you're not entitled to anything, this entitlement phase for people needs be kicked out. When World of Warcraft first launched, where people mad they couldn't play? well yes but they didn't go spamming forums whining because they weren't entitlistic people back then.

You bought their game, not only that, you're all playing for free, we have an entire month, A MONTH, 30 days, of playing this game, with no extra cost, on top of that we're getting extra free days, so missing out half a day or so of playing because the server is full is not going to kill you.

In point of fact if you log into mog station it says that you currently have 9 days of free play before you are charged, so no you don't have 30 days as of now, and further the game breaks more and more every day. As of 9/1 the game is more broken, after they fix Japan in one hour they just state that NA/EU is fixed when it is still broken. So we are supposed to be happy and content with the worst game MMO launch in History (I have played MMO since everquest and no game has been continually broken for over a week of servers being open with not only the originally problems not addressed fixed but new problems arising every day). Maybe you didn't purchase the re release but I paid money for CE (which I can't even register on my account which is another thing that is broken) but for those of us that paid money for our product would like to receive some sort of value for that project. For every one of these posts that are happy with a broken game you personally are standing in the way of things getting fixed. So thanks for being that guy.

Ohoho. Sir. Maybe it's just been nearly a decade and you've forgotten, but the WoW fiasco was just as legendary. Though that's neither here nor there.

It is not unreasonable for consumers to want a working service when they are paying or have paid for it. Not in the LEAST. They are inherently entitled to that as consumers. They can put in all the fine print BS that they want.

Even if it wasn't, though, SE is a business. If consumers are unhappy, they sort of stop paying for things...and when people stop paying for things, businesses fail. So it was in SE's best interest (and is still in their best interest) to operate under conditions that seem fair to consumers. The level of mismanagement here has been nothing short of insane.
