I'm done!

I'll chime in a little here.

New servers: not as hard as you'd think to implement. Most likely they have backup images of all types of game servers (login, servers, dungeon). This allows them to quickly repair a damaged or corrupted server, and in this case allows them to quickly take a server out of the box, image it, and force it into a cluster. They're also likely using virtual clustering and virtual servers, which allows them to take say 5 servers and virtually shard that cluster into 20 servers, or whatever numbers you'd like to use. That makes the baseline imaging of a new machine even easier given that the existing cluster can shift the virtual machines around as needed (or manually) to balance the load.

You want to be careful with adding new servers to play on in the first month. It is a easy solution, but you want to avoid another Warhammer and Age of Conan. These two games where also very crowded in the early days of the launch so they added tons of new servers to handle the high demand of players. Sadly after 1 month, max 2 months most players had left the game and they where left with many ghost servers where only a hand full of players played on. And that in turn made the entire game look more deserted then it was, causing more players to leave and discourage new players to try and find a home in those games.

You make a good point however denying access for a potential problem later is not a solution either. Seems to me when you get a message saying, the world is full come back later, the developers allowed more players on a server then it can handle. If SE adds more servers how will that help unless people move to another server, the servers will be still full. Seems to me they sold more tickets then the concert hall has seats. Is SE increasing the server load or just adding more servers? This is unclear to me. Having a server that is maxed then having a queue to filter them all in if they log at the same time is one thing but SE says there are to many comeback later. How is this acceptable?

True, but the problem is more that they don't have a AFK kicker. That would help a ton already. And they can open new servers sure, but i can understand when SE is careful with that seeing how it can lead to empty server later on. We just have to wait and see what this fix is gonna do for us all. Hopefully it solves the unable to connect problems. I believe we do get 7 free days as compensation.

your post and Ayries you replied to state just the problem the whole team had...
IF they started with to many, what if it wasn't as sucsessful at grabbing attention, what if people were just figureing it would fail agian. and not try it, then they would of spent to much money, but instead with their way lower than expected guess, now they are having angry customers, the anger is easy to understand, we all want to play, and we all handle the frustration how ever we do. Some blow up while others are more patient.

we all just either
A) don't play and wait
B) Don't play and quit

They say they are working on it, hopefully it fixes most the problems, least to make it playable, if a few dcs happen i'd be ok, so long as can get back in lol.
it is still the first few weeks of the game, I think once they get the issues fixed, all will be forgiven lol. least by me and maybe others.

me, I'll just wait it out. The beta had me addicted. and I've told all my friends that are interested in the game,that i'll just let them know when its safe to try the game, till then, save their free days.
