There had better be compensation for this disastrous 'early access'

[Selova]

I've seen fresh MMOs launch better than this. Saying every MMO has crippling problems at launch is an overstatement.

That doesn't mean anything. Fresh MMO launches generally don't have many issues....because they are a fresh mmo. It's the sheer amount of people from already established and popular mmo's that causes the server instability and overload. This isn't even a good argument.

FFXIV 1.0, Aion, Age of Conan, Warhammer Online, ArchAge, Anarchy Online, WoW, APB..

Really?.... REALLY?

It's always like this during expansion releases in every MMO. Every world of warcraft expansion launch has been much much worse then this.

I've played every WoW expansion's launch... I can't recall such immense server instability, let alone mandatory, content-gating instances' access being limited to .01% of the relevant (attempting to enter) population, from the course any of their releases. When WoW was initially released, perhaps...

I totally understand where you're coming from, but that's a really bad example because airlines literally do that all the time.

and they are some of the worse companies out there, so are we expecting SE to be one too now?

Well if you buy the collectors edition and pay for a subscription you're paying $73 to play something that you can't even play!! Definitely not fair and they should at least give us subscription time back.. I don't care what every other mmo is like or whatever updates have done!! I pay a lot of money to play this game the fact is it should work at all times!! Otherwise don't release something that's incomplete and then tell us to try again later!! I tried for 7 hours straight yesterday and almost 2 today they should fix it! They gave the date of realease I didn't tell them to release it yesterday so if they are going to do such know they have a standard to uphold to and right now they are way below!

Y'all need to calm down.

Oh man NCSoft. Aion still wigs out and Blade and Soul was a clogged mess. Some people had to wait a week after it went free to play just because thousands of people were too busy idling with their sex doll monstrosities.

maybe we could all get a shirt that says "I survived Stormblood's early access and all I got was this lousy shirt"

Let's step it up a notch then

Early access for Stormblood. To play Stormblood. Yet we are forced to play OLD contents because of there old and archaic systems in place. People getting frustrated is legitimate and have the right to demand some compensation for not being able to use/play their product as intended.
