Sincere Recommendation: Accept you will not be able to play, walk away for a while

Would you rather they only sold limited copies of endwalker per server? xD
It is a live service and they are doing their best to make it available for as many people as possible. When they can get their hands on some servers things will improve, once more people finish msq and play a bit less things will also improve. People acting like other MMO's major releases all go off without a single issue, esp after such a surge in playerbase.

I agree with OP, I've already been considering it but if I can't log in today, I'm likely going to unsub for a month, explore some other alternative games to see if there's anything else out there I like more, and if not try again in January.

So far I'm going on day 3 of not being able to log in at all. I pay to play this game because it's stress relief, it's something I use to take my mind away from work/responsibilities/life etc., so whenever I can't actually play it then I find something else to do with the little time I have to play. As it is, I'm not going to wait 2-3hrs for a queue since I only have 2-3hrs to play at a time...

lol, Actually, yeah, as someone who works in software / hardware production, I honestly do want companies to stop overselling their products and actually support what they put out in the world. Not whatever this current silliness is. Their "best" can be a lot better, and thinking otherwise of a literal billion dollar company that's practically drowning in funds right now is disconcerting.

Yeah that's the thing that gets me about people wanting them to throttle sales. Can you imagine the backlash? Going from being able to just buy the expansion when you wanted to to having to be one of the lucky ones who got there early? And if you don't, no expansion for you.

On the whole, I guess I wouldn't mind it so much sitting in queue if I didn't get kicked. To be honest I'm kinda regretting pre-paying for the expansion, might have a been a bit better to wait for a couple of months. Eh hindsight being what it is.

YES!!!!!! Thats exactly what they should have done, if you know your server capacity is xxxxxx number of people then you make xxxxxx licenses for it, its that simple if you were going to a sports event and the stadium had a capacity of 60k people you don't then sell 70k tickets

Unfortunately capitalism's unlimited growth philosophy and business don't work that way.

Except this isn't a 1 time sports venue or something to that regards. A better comparison would be a toll access freeway that you find in alot of areas. People pay for access to an asset that is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Depending on day/time/events there will be periods where it will get backed up with people trying to access it all at once.
