I feel insulted by Stormbloods launch

You might be wondering why i'm posting something like this, well we have to get the message across somehow.

Except the launch didn't happen yet, we are on early access.

Early access is not beta testing, early access is just that early access. It is a reward for those who preordered.

this is basically release but release to a smaller pool...and nothing is technically broken... they designed it like this soo what happens on actual release when the flood gates open up and more people try to get through?

How many people are planning to play stormblood but did not buy it (or won't attempt to play it) beteween the 16th and the 20th? I am guessing slim-to-none. Your "flood gates" are going to be a tiny stream... if that.

As the pre-orders could be made to gain access to Early Access until the very day of, only the tiniest portion is likely to added on the actual release date. The rest... during Early Access. This is the expected majority of the playerbase.

They also know exactly how many people registered for said Early Access. Why would they expect to get only a small portion of those numbers? How were they so utterly unprepared for them? Admittedly, some of those purchases may have been made mere days prior, but I'm guessing there were more then than they were "prepared" for ordered at least a month in advance.

I feel insulted by the quality of service SE did for the MSQ issue, which is pretty much nothing. They at waiting for the problem to solve itself, did nothing, neither acknowledge the issue, nor give any status on when or if it will be solved during this disgusting pre release. When you had to wait 4 hours in front of an NPC trying to pass in the MSQ, yes you can get pretty much pissed off like I am. At least I have A LOT to say everytime a friend ask how to game is doing, I shall give a complete perspective to them.

[Metalios]

Lol I was doing nothing but standing there....then this

Yeah and good luck log in again. I keep getting that message every time I'm truing to log now the past 2 hours.

[Slipikin]

I started trying to log in at 11:55 AM EST. It's now 2:35 PM EST and that makes it almost 3 hours of trying to log in. There really is no point in my opinion to call it early access and SE shouldn't make it seem like there is some benefit in pre-ordering when everyone who pre-orders can't play.

EDIT* I'm finally down to 37 in queue but that has been for the last 15 min.
