Onisake you are an asshole. You want to defend this situation, but the thing is, if these issues arise in 2.0 and it actually takes SE 2-3 months to come out with a RESPONSE let alone an actual fix, then the game will have failed. This isolated character login problem brings to light a bigger disconnect that has been a problem with SE's online games and that is a lack of outside of Japan developmental capabilities.
This is a Japanese video game above all else, but it's being sold on a global scale as a world accessible MMORPG. You can't have EVERY SINGLE dev who works on this to be only Japanese. I fully fill they should be the final say in any game code changes, but their NA and EU offices need to have a handful of developers who can address these problems, produce fixes in an expedient manner, and then have a direct line of communication to the final group of dev's who make the call or direct additional changes/fixes. This 3 month long process for the rest of the world to get resolutions is no longer acceptable in this day and age.
