Regarding Results of Maintenance (Sep. 4): Follow-up

[mkopec1]

They are trying to do the opposite of every other mmo that came out. Trying to beat the initial rush instead of opening up the floodgates and dealing with the merges later. Remember SWTOR had over 4 million boxes sold the first month, AOC had million, GW2 had millions, this its not the only game to have this many initial players.

This is the second time they vastly underrated their sales, and this is with not selling any new boxes since the weekend. Now imagine if they start selling boxes again, we will be int he same boat in a few days.

Amateur hour at best.

Because not making money has always been the best business model around>?

1. People not able to play with their guild/communities due to server limitations
2. People not able to log in due to server limitations
3. People unable to buy the game due to server limitations
4. People considering not paying after the first month due to frustration due to server limitations

see a pattern forming here?

The only pattern I see here is constant ignorance and entitlement.

What entitlement I was stating some facts about business in general. I am being patient and have not done any name calling only stated some things that are self evident. Please do not personally attack a general statement about monetary gains and losses, I have a guild with over 30 people and half already stated they are done, that's 15 subs less a month already and that's just my guild due to these issues, want the game to succeed? Bet you its not putting limitations on EVERYTHING including forum post counts. I am more than willing to discuss stuff, but lets leave the blatant name calling or accusations out of it okay?

My comment really wasn't 100% directed at you. But making assumptions based off what your guild mates say really doesn't equate to trends for the entire population. With my FC/LS, while there has been some discontent over the server issues, no one has really threatened to quit over it. I think a lot of people need to take a step back and look at the situation more objectively and without blind rage like so many people here. If you are being patient, I certainly applaud you for doing so, more people around here could learn from that.

SNIP.

Well I thought it was from the general context my apologies to you as well, and yes im being patient for what its worth which is sad for me since I did get a whole week off from college this week and was super excited, its more like a 75% excitement atm tho...my super concern is just trying to get all my friends (guild) onto one server and atm its not looking super promising, I did see on the mog station that transfers where coming soon but not sure how it will be done yet. Anyroad,

time for tea.

Clueless just about sums your post up.

They've added 3 new servers FOR THE MOMENT. I certainly read between the lines to see that they have more to add if they need to. Server merges are bad news generally in MMO terms as people start to think the game is dying and jump ship sooner.

They haven't vastly underestimated their sales this time - they have hard numbers to inform their decisions. They couldn't do the upgrades or add capacity until now because new servers take at least 2 weeks to arrive from being ordered. These were ordered as soon as they realised their error during beta 4
