I hope SE learns a few lessons from this.

First and foremost, upgrade your god forsaken servers. This is 2017

They did, the issue is that we are experiencing an extreme (and very temporary) load, extra servers would be a waste of resources.

Many MMOs have smooth launches now, thanks to mega capacity servers. We are tired of hearing congestion and bandwidth issues.

WoW is literally the only one I can think of, and this game doesn't have the resources that WoW has. Even then, every WoW expansion except legion experienced problems.

Second, please get rid of solo instances. Clearly you can't afford to run them

See the first point.


This is standard for MMO expansions, anyone who thinks that they are entitled to anything, or that this is extreme is woefully naive/uninformed. I didn't take the day off because I anticipated some sort of server stability issue (because that makes sense).
