Best 'FAIL LAUNCH' in MMO history

[Cenewulf]

its funny how people can drop 20-60 bucks on a game and then all of a sudden they have years of networking and IT experience. Let's see your Net+, A+ and other more vendor aligned computer certs since you clearly know what to do to fix the game Mr. OP

Your a complete Moron.

I was there at Aion all through their Beta and the launch of Aion September 19th 2009. Yes, there was issues.

Let me state them for you because I remember clearly.
We couldn't log in due to high demand of the game. They noticed the issues - took servers down for 5 hours straight away, made changes to their servers which were required to hold these new numbers and the amount of players logging in.

After 5 hours we could log in without an issue. There was a little lag but at least we could play just fine.

This has been 13 days of failure so far, no other game I've played in the last 15 years have compared to this.

They state they will fix issues, were you blind did you not see the "16" updates stating we know of a problem yet, we are still doing nothing? That's not professional.

This isn't a go at you mate but Aion/D3/Linage/ Even WoW was not this bad. They all at least had a solid Queue which said. " Servers full - position in line 1000++ come back in 6 hours" it wouldn't time out and eventually take you into the game.

THIS THIS THIS! FF14:ARR the biggest fail launch ever.

Its funny how internet wisemen sit there and ask for credentials and resign themselves to subpar service and a failed launch all under the great banner for the fanboy ways.

Been around 24 hours since my last successful login, got disconnected about 6 hours after that and haven't been able to get back in. This is utterly ridiculous SE. I tried to login at like 3:00 AM and nothing

Here's how you scale a launch from 1 to 10 on the fail scale...

1) Does it load and update properly?
2) Can you login?
3) Is there latency?
4) Is there disconnects?
5) Are there multiple game breaking bugs that prevent progression?
6) Are there multiple bugs that cause severe annoying workarounds to be made?

So, from that list, which ones or rather, how far down the list does FFXIV go? If you said anything past 2, you are a lucky individual who more than likely is sitting AFK in game for 8-12 hours a day.

Anyhow, truth be told, a broken game is always better than an unplayable game. Considering how well the game plays, I truly am surprised at how badly the past 2 weeks of login issues has been. If I was SE's IT department, well, I'm still going to school for IT, so I won't judge. Still a bloody mess.

I don't like the state of things myself thank you very much. And I would appreciate it if you did not call me a fanboy because I am not. I have other hobbies and things to do to occupy my time besides this game hence my disposition. it is also why I don't make retarded ass threads like this one. I would rather have login issues and the game be great than be able to log into what was 1.0

and quite honestly if the game is such a fail launch, Why are you here? Why don't you go to customer service, get your refund and be on your way? Some of us are willing to deal with server errors to get into the game and some of us have gotten our refunds and went on our way. I suggest you do one or the other and have an amazing week friend.

Ugh this sucks...I set my alarm early to wake up (this is a very rare day off for me) before my 2 year old gets up...found myself with my head down at the desk spamming 0 listening for the sound of a successful login... didn't happen. Now she's down for her nap...same thing, head down spamming 0...I just want to play, this is such a great game. I'm not even mad, just bummed and ready to give up
