Worst Launch Ever?

[Jwrigh7784]

Since we all have time to be disconnected or locked out of content, just wanted to ask people the worst game launches that they can remember. The Stormblood launch is fresh on people's minds but there's gotta be worse ones than this that people can think of. Right?

Technically Stormblood doesn't count because it hasn't officially launched, with that said I think WoW was the worst launch. When WoW launched in 2004 it was a buggy mess. It took weeks for them to fix the issues. Some people still had issues months later. RIFT was a pretty smooth launch though.

Within FFXIV, I remember ARR (2.0) launch was really bad, so far still worse than Stormblood (considering 4.0 isn't officially released to be honest), and it could have been worse, if I remember how I almost couldn't log in at all in-game during beta 4 phase. On the other hand I think Heavensward's (3.0) launch had less issues (the only really big issue I remember was not being able to go to Coertha's Western Highlands, resulting in they creating instanced field areas. Something they definitely learned, since the new 4.0 areas already have 3 instances)
