TIRED OF ALL THE PROBLEMS GOING ON?! DO WHAT I AM DOING

[NkemJoaka]

I have to agree with the OP, trying to log in over and over while getting an error or world full message is just going to frustrate you further. Better to wait until all these issues have been sorted out or your opinion of the game will just be soured. If you read the terms and agreements that we all agreed to it states that SE will not be held responsible in circumstances such as this, so if we do get compensated it's not something they had to do.

Honestly, I don't know why we even have this topic. For me, if I pay for something (bus fares, any kind of services, even a GAME), I want it to be full operational and working as it should be. Can I do other stuff while it does not work? OF COURSE, but it is not the point.
Just to say my feelings too =P

My OP wasn't meant for you then, please read through the other posts, it wasn't meant for people who decide to be rude, etc. It was meant to say, "hey, it's not working, stop complaining and wait it out." We can complain all we want but if it's not going to be fixed till this Friday then we can get as upset as we want but it won't change anything.

easy for someone to bash us who are being impatient.. Well some of us have college starting back up and want to hit max lvl before then.. now is looking impossible to do. I mean I didn't get this game for free, it wasn't a hand out, I wasn't given a free copy. Had that been the case I would not even be complaining. I payed hard earned money for this game, I'm not one of the 1 percent who gets to throw money around like it's going out of style. If you don't like hearing all the cry babies anymore, how about moving to a country where your opinions really don't matter. Also if you make the wrong opinions you might just lose your life or be stoned to death "Afghanistan" maybe you all should move there. I'm sure you'll hear a lot less crying.

This post is completely ignorant. If you had ever been to Afghanistan or the many other countries I have been to and actually talked to the local nationals, you would know it's the same everywhere. -cont.-

The only difference is us "stupid Americans" are too impatient. Yeah, you paid for the game. Your upset because it's not up like it should be. Read the contract you agreed with before you cry.

There are times I have problems on the PS3, I normally just hop onto Dragon's Crown for about 15-20 minutes and when I hop back on to FFXIV it starts running fine. I've also noticed that it seems less likely to freak out if you don't skip (or don't try to) the developer names in the beginning.

A lot of posters have very good points.
Yes we paid for a game and can expect to be able to play it.
Yes SE should have been able to more or less determine the turnout and prepare for it.
Yes it is just a game and there is more to life than a game.

My thoughts
While SE could have been more prepared what about the last minute purchases. That can make a huge difference. The Dev team is not happy with the current situation but they cannot just throw a band-aid at it and expect it to hold together. What they are trying to do is get a permanent proper fix in place so that the issues we are experiencing are actually fixed. We have to have patience and allow them to work. Keeping characters logged in is not helping matters in fact it makes it worse. As for as impatient Americans are concerned that can be said for anybody and not just Americans.

No doubt it is futile but I am adding my voice to the unhappy ones.
Why on earth should we accept that a brand new game by an experienced developer has a completely inadequate infrastructure from day 1? How on earth could they so badly misjudge the capacity needed? This is not their first MMORPG and they know how popular FF is.

Guild Wars 2, Neverwinter and others have never given me a moment's problem. There is no excuse for saying new MMORPGs will always have teething troubles, this a total failure of service for many people. This game is not free to play like Neverwinter and many others but they get the inrastructure right.

Where is the status notice saying the problems won't be fixed till Friday (as mentioned by Kairug)? It certainly isn't obvious anywhere. They could communicate clearly through the game interface and launcher not just bury it in forums.

Whinge over. Somebody should be getting their @##@ kicked.

I was saying IF they said Friday.....smh

How about you get off the game and let other people who clearly want to play it more than you... play it. You go outside and do your fun things with family and let the cry babies play

Apparently alot of people haven't been in a mmo launch :-P look at all the trolls hateing on me for giving a general opinion, and agreeing with OP, lets see how many more quotes I will get in this thread, for giving my opinion and saying Americans in this generation are the now/me generation, did I say agree with me no, my opinion, plus how am I ignorant when I see all the same error posts, than I state my experience hasn't been that bad
