We paid for early access but it turned out to be NO ACCESS. PAY OUR MONEY BACK

I agree, I've been trying for 4 hours to log back on (got disconnected). I'm put at the end of the queue of 4700 people, get down to about position 2000 and get booted from lobby server again only to be back at the end of the list. This is BS!

Frustrating, yes, but seriously guys have some patience.

This is the same song and dance every expansion, and about a week into it all the kinks are out.

Working as intended.

i dont think we pay for early access, but the level to which we are having issue was definitely not explained well enough in their congestion message to the community. They are putting us through a very frustrating situation. i would much rather click the start button and be told, i cant get in queue, then to press the start button, get in queue, and then get kicked out and have to start over at teh end of the line... if i can get back in queue..

If you didn't expect this to happen, I have a bridge to sell you.

erm you paid for the EW expansion and the early access was a bonus for pre-ordering it.... Also they stated that que times will be long or a issue most likely and this morning for me 8am CST I had a tiny que of like 30 ppl prime times will be the longer ques

Be nice if they disabled trial accounts for the coming weeks. The problem isn't the length of the queue, it's the queue system crashing and having to restart constantly. I got to 1, then it crashed. Now I'm back in the 3k+ over and over.

While your post is correct as far as it goes it does not explain the other issues I listed above which are still prevalent. You had a short que @ 8:00 because this is a work day for most people. It is the start of the weekend and all problems are back at the previously stated levels. If these problems persist on the 7th and beyond I will laydown a real bitch. At present this game is unplayable.

Cry more. You aren't guaranteed service as per the ToS.

If this is "intended", then that's a terrible intention, lol. But seriously, if it takes SE a full week to make the game playable, then I don't see any reason to not unsub for a month and try again in January.

I get it, there's a lot of diehard FFXIV fans on this site because overall SE does do a lot of stuff well, but that doesn't really excuse this kind of hacky intro into a new expac. If people at least had access to old content, then it'd still be something, but people are being locked out of the game as a whole, making the product pointless.

And that's the big thing about all of this; yes, it is a game and it's not the end of the world, but that's why I pay to play this game, to get away from the woes of the rest of my world. While I have disposable income for this entertainment, I don't have a lot of disposable time, so if I can't play when time allows then I simply don't play at all.

If that happens too frequently, well, then I move on. I moved on from Blizzard/WoW, so doing it again at this point isn't a big deal. Don't get me wrong, I would like it if SE figures this out and soon, but I'm not so addicted to the game that I'm going to wait a long time for them to make it workable.

Admittedly, if I could get a bloody house I'd probably be more patient but that's near impossible considering how terri-bad the system is now, oh the irony! XD

I had to sit in the queue for SIX hours before I could log in. How much more patience do we need?
