What about fixing your servers?

[Lynart]

Then why are you here?

To let people throwing around fallacies and bull**** that they're stupid or ignorant while I'm waiting for this god damn ****box to finish building something.

While I also work with servers and code, every company is different and programs work in different scales. IT"S A NEW RELEASE and servers are working to a max capacity issue. Everyone is entitled to their perspective and respect yours, however from a business perspective it would be a poor choice to invest for a temporary fix that will later become an unneeded expense. Same thing when HW came out, how long did we have this same issue for? Personally the most I've spent waiting on a queue is an hour, rarely have any connection problems and even play FFXI while waiting for queue. If people are so concern, and know this happens why not wait a while, say a month before playing the game? Reason, people are impatient and think their special.

If you work with servers and code, you would know about the existence of many server scaling technologies.

If the backend was engineered to take the above into account, it would literally be a "do it right once, pays back dividends" approach. This would not be a "temporary" fix as I am not referring to adding servers and leaving them there post rush...and you would also know what I am referring to.

And regarding the "impatient special" comment...if you're happy with paying for a service, like an ISP, that fails to forecast and rectify really obvious moments when their QoS would not be met, good for you. I'll keep my money and buy beer or something instead.
