Best 'FAIL LAUNCH' in MMO history

[Earis_Gainsborough]

Unprofessional for a company to spend a week after final project is release and it's basically still beta testing mode.

Never have I ever seen a company take over 3 days to fully fix an issue.. this makes you appreciate other company's TRUE passion for their game.. not just a pay check.

BTW>. Holiday week....... REALLY? IT"S ONE DAY.. NOT 7! HELLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?

Japan doesn't even celebrate this day! FAIL.

also another thing we gotta understand is square-enix was low on money and didn't expect much at first for ffxiv because of 1.0 so here is what happened, whoaaaa omg great sales. omg we were wrong about our server sizes and amounts of people next now we gotta wait on banks to take and turn all these us dollars and euros into Japanese yen, then we gotta pay everyone for working on this game for 3 years, now we have a bloody holiday weekend now we have to add more servers and hopefully increase the servers already in place. YES I'M MAD yes i have not played yet but i also have a brain and understand how a little bit about how stuff works and how crap happens. so i'm upset but i also understand i can get as mad as i want but at this point i need to be patient and give them the time they need to make it right

Not only but this is a game that has delivered so well (in gameplay terms and not server obviously) that the huge Fail that was XIV has been totally forgiven and forgotten.
Add to that that with this being an American national holiday most of America has the day off and guess what those that bought the game are do .... that's right flooding the servers to play this amazing game. Square should be giving a more detail explanation of what they are doing to fix this and if they will be giving world transfers so people can go onto a new sever without starting again, as the opening of this game is very slow but awesome THE FIRST TIME

at least we are not losing any of our 30 free day game time Mr. Yoshida said we will get compensated.

Has he confirmed that those of us that bought FIX will have our time extended too?
And of cause that is another awesome thing Square have done. Those of us that bought the original XIV get 2 weeks of free game time too

yes i agree with you it was a somewhat vague explaination about what they are going to do on somethings maybe they are not entirely sure or maybe they dont wanna say one thing and have it come back to bite them in the arse. but my friends who invited me to play are on Hyperion server so i hope i can go there and join them when they finish work on the servers or else i gotta say i will be very upset, even more so then i am now that i have not even played yet. as for this character i was told in response to my ticket to use the forums so i made this character on a Japanese server typhon but i wasn't able to play because of 1017 lol

PSxpert2011,
SE had the information and statistics from beta and early access registration data that the load on the servers would be consistently high. Added onto the information from FF11 and FF14 1.0 which shows that the average concurrent connection is going to be comparable or greater to those numbers. And I am not attacking the producer or development team but simply stating the numbers were there. And I truly hope that they can overcome the issue of concurrent connections and load. Though I think developing a method to split loads of each world between another server would be an interesting option.

the man said yes about a 7 day extension. but i wouldn't be surprised if they decide later to do a case by case basis on the matter but that is just me thinking fairly i don't know what they will do beyond the 7 day extension

Yes, while true.. it is pay to play.. sometimes you have to just suck it up and work for your customers.. I mean, you see labor day sales and people working today... It isn't a government job where they take off for the hec of it.

The reason hy I mentioned the Japanese not being off is because it's THEIR designers that didn't do their job to begin with.

But yeah... no excuse for the BS.. lmao
