Meanwhile in Balmung:

I know you're an NA server, but that's still the most British thing I have ever seen. XD

I expect raubahn to lose another arm for this

I'm as annoyed as everyone else, but why does everyone think they deserve compensation? Bugs happen, most MMOs have very rocky expansion introductions.

Calm down, it's day one. It's the early release. It's not SE's fault you took your time off from work or school when everyone else warned you things like this were bound to happen.

Ya know I did take off work, but that's beside the point. I do think SE cares about there players more than others but someone somewhere dropped the ball. Someone in SE had to know full well how many Pre-orders there were and how much load there server could take. It's about planning ahead. Simply put they didn't. I find that in most cases it is do to game companies not hiring enough people that think outside the box or their employees get stagnant in their outward thinking.

Most people just wanna try out the new classes but can't even get that far...

I'd love to learn how many instances they reserved for Cold Steel. By doing some rough math, my server currently needs 600+ clears of that MSQ at this very moment, just to empty the zone. Thats not including all of the other people who have given up or have not arrived yet.

On Moogle I waited in a line for hours and took another hours to spam click Raubahn at the end..still have not managed to go into this. So 1. its not only Balmung or the Japanese players that do such a thing and 2. it did not help at all..(and lets not forget that there will be always people that will not wait in line) Its so frustrating because this is no bug..this is simply a bad decision..they already had old data from HW so they should have known that many people will buy EA (heck this will probably also happen at launch day..) thus they should not have done a solo instance so early.

I was on since one hour after servers went up yet I took my time. Around the same time they posted that instances are not truly working so I could not do the quest for the samurai. (Can someone tell my why we are only allowed to open those boxes in a city? -.-) Yet I still took my time since I did not want to rush the story. I talked to every NPC, saw the mass of people at Raubahn so I did the other part of the quests..went around the map and was kinda punished for this because now even more people were on and most of them stuck on that quest. So anyone that rushed through this might have had a bigger chance...so much about taking your time..and now the weekend awaits with even more people on that are all needing the MSQ to gain any access to SB and then you will have launch day too..ugh now my head and arm hurts and I havent done much even though I played since the start of EA...how can you not see that happening with all the old numbers and preorders?

And instead of feeling happy about the new expansion I now only wish to be able to kill Raubahn (poor him) and to ask Yoshida himself why they thought this was okay? (Man this is going to be so nice to all those people that bought a story skip potion :'D, all that money only to have no chance to progress..well at least this happened to nearly all players)

They need to increase the people being let in, like now. If it crashes the servers, deal with it then. At this rate the people waiting wont be done till the 20th. FIX. THE. PROBLEM.

[Jeibird]

can anyone help me with the previous quests to this? I realized that if I kill imperials I'm just as bad as them. I tried reasoning with them but they just stab me. does anyone have a method of progressing msq that will let me keep the high ground? I don't wanna be some kinda SJW of Light </joke>

It was already crashing some servers this morning so that isn't the solution

Then let them crash. Frankly bring everything down and devote all resources to fixing the issue instead of this. Theyve now had over 12 hours and the matter has only gotten worse every minute.

I'm.... just giving up.... going to take Yoshi's old advice and go play another game. So much for the fun of early access.
