Serious SE? Really?!

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

Speak for yourself. Several servers, including Behemoth, are currently confirmed inaccessible by SE; cause is "under investigation" with no ETA on a fix.

Im on balmung. probably the most populated server. I can't log in right now. Im not mad, I expected this. Still, no server crashes is a good thing.

It's kind of sad that many of us expect the servers to be crap. We really shouldn't have to have such low expectations at this point.

Many have already experience with early accesses from other MMOs

It's not having low expectations, it's being realistic. No server can undertake any amount of preparation that would completely prevent things like this from happening. It's just not possible.

You chose this exact time to 1. create a new character 2. on one of the already most popular servers in the game?

So after a few lobby errors, I finally get to the character selection screen. Great! I load up my template au ra from the benchmark, select the class, birthday, guardian and get to the big one, server selection.

Awesome! Balmung is open! I enter my name, click okay... 1006, server data could not be obtained. What? It takes me back to server selection. Balmung still showing open, I say "okay lets try again" data is all there. Click play. Error again. 6 more times... finally I refresh the server list... balmung is closed.

Come on! This is just unacceptable SE. I don't care how many RMT bots are flooding the network to make new characters, why not simply just set the server up so only early access people can actually make characters and not random RMTers?

The only thing serious in this thread is the amount of facepalming I'm going to have to do right now.

It's mostly account problems. They really screwed things up its not just people logging in its thag peoples accounts DONT EVEN HAVE HW!

most peoples accounts wouldnt have HW, the game doesn't come out till tuesday lol. we have early access tied to our accounts which grants us hw access tho :P

Wait why is this even a surprise?? It's launch hour. Take a chill pill and try again later or maybe tomorrow or u know what just let EA blow over and let SE compensate us with free game time like what they did before. There has never ever been a smooth MMO launch till date. Unless someone comes up with a technology to handle extreme server stress with thousands trying to login at the same time. It sucks i know but it's more or less predicted to happen 99%..

You all act like you've never been to a release. Regardless of technical difficulties, it is a successful launch.

You have no idea how a live server is going to handle a patch--each server requires it's own stress test, and individually, may incur unique issues of their own. They are working on fixing the problems, calm down, walk your dog, do some HIITs, watch a funny movie, play another game with minimal investment and check back later.
