Since you seem to lack in reading comprehension...

One of the errors has been explained (2002) and even then their explanation doesn't hold water.

The queue system doesn't work at all. If it did, then I'd wait my turn and get into the game when it was my turn. Not get booted and have to start over numerous times. The fact that you could say it works just proves ..well..things about you I won't say on this public forum.

Free subscription days doesn't make up for what is happening. It's easy to kick people when they're down when you're getting to enjoy the game, also says a lot of things about you. If you had to sit through queue for 6-12 hours only to not get in, you'd be singing a different tune.

Explained doesn't mean solved. At my job we say: "excuses only make mistakes worse" idk if it has a proper translation to english. But is quite clear i think.
Apologies won't do either, in the very same vein.

Free days are not equal to "these days", many got arround work and schedules for "this time right now". Is a nice gesture, but is not a compensation and much less of a solution.
If only the universe was reduced to you But the service is world wide, for (and don't be scared) o t h e r s than yourself. There is clearly a problem with the servers and not an unknown and more to SE fault unpreventable. We called them on having to sustancially improve servers. It is clear that they didn't.

Being 9:30 in my country, and after 7 hours of being home, im not able to play for the second day straight.
People is more than justified to be pissed and vocal about it.

This statement is quite irksome. Simply because it’s obvious you don’t really care about the fact that many other players are still sitting in 3,000 to 4,000+ queues, and have been for hours since last Friday. You aren’t the only player of this game, so please try to have a bit more empathy than what this statement implies.

I spent over 3 hours today in a queue. I 2002’d 13 times during that. One of my friends was stuck in queue for 2-3 hours every day this past weekend. Two more have been in 6,000+ queues the last two days. One just gave up Saturday afternoon because they kept crashing and the queue kept getting longer. I had better luck getting in super early East Coast time, but Sunday I logged in at 9am and was in a queue for 2 hours. If you are trying to log into the game any time during Prime Time hours, then you might as well give up unless you can stay up all night to play. For people who work 9-to-5 jobs, that isn’t feasible.

I don’t normally mind queuing. Did it for 2 expansions so far. But the issues arise with the constant 2002 errors that you practically need to babysit the game for. It’s not as if you can get up and do other stuff around the house with the current situation. You need to relaunch as soon as possible to hopefully not be further back in the line than you were previously. And that’s a problem. SB and ShB launches didn’t have the issue with 2002s. And yeah, you can argue the game grew since then—but it’s still a very poor argument to try and excuse the current state of things.

Explanation provided or not, this is by far the worse expansion launch in terms of the amount of errors players have dealt with. Even SB with its instanced servers issue was still better since at least you could get into the game without all the lobby server errors even if you did have to wait in a queue. These issues always happen around launches, so it’s to be expected to have some wait times—but this is insane. All I can hope is that, when hardware is more readily available, they look into upgrading the lobby servers to handle this better. Because if the game continues to grow, then it will only get worse.

Pretty much. I've had to sleep during the late afternoon every day since launch, just so I can make sure I can log on during the middle of the night/early morning. From there, I have to stay logged in for the rest of the night and day, until I decide to go to sleep again. The one time I let myself get afk kicked during the early afternoon the other day, I couldn't get back in to actually play the game, and I effectively lost 6+ hours that I could have been playing. Too bad for the people who can't maintain a schedule like mine, I doubt they are even able to really play.

Another defender of the crown. Brah the game doesnt suppose to have a 5-7hr login que PERIOD. Of course the game works but not for all of us. Some of us have jobs where we work 6/7 days and cant even play on our day off cause we have to sit in que. This not the intended way to play the game. They need to cut off Trial players, they need to stop selling keys/accounts til this is resolved. Or show me where does it say on the game info that you will be waiting in que from 4-7hrs daily to play this game... PLZ SHOW US
