How do you think the negative reviews due to server issues will affect sales?

Given that they have more people wanting to play the game than they expected, I think SE will be doing just fine financially with this game. The issues may effect sales, but then again, name one MMO that didn't have launch issues.

Rift. Even though the game sucked the launch was great from what I've read.

Another clueless response from a fanboy... These server are caped to 5K and they are supposed to be holding 15K. Do the math and figure out how many people they have playing on these servers. This is a niche game and the worst thing they can do is add servers only to have them become ghost towns once the 30 day people decide not to subscribe.

So NO, they dont have that many people playing.. Servers are capped to 5K people which is pathetic since WoWs servers hold 30K people.

Apart from the 5k server cap, which was mentioned officially, where are you getting these other numbers from?

Did you miss the part where Yoshi said they had more concurrent connections than they were expecting?
