Early acsess is not a launch

[Atlas-04]

This is launch because there is no restrictions on early access. Having a cutoff date would of definitely reduced the server strain. Instead they just open the flood gates for literally every player regardless of purchase date.

Crashes were garuanteed with this method. Everyone interested in SB was probably here.

All this has told me: is not to buy game at early access. I mean this is a disaster for FF 14, and from my under standing Heavenswards didn't suffer this problem, and the truth is this poor managing of it, and should been foreseen by SE. They should understand there game has grown since the last expansion, its not an under dog game it is great MMO.

There were massive queues and all kinds of disconnects and errors for HW launch too. A lot of people got stuck in Foundation because there were so many people there, you couldn't even load the zone.

This happens with every expansion launch in basically every mmo. It's not like people shouldn't be expecting it.

It sucks, but it's not like SE can magically fix an overcrowding issue. Its likely to only get worse come Tuesday.

Than I am wrong on the count, but even so this is there 2nd expansion, and they should have improve and plan for that none the less.

World of Warcraft, the most massive mmo there is on the market, has had six expansions and over a decade to work on launches and they still have these sorts of problems. Although admittedly the Legion launch did go rather smoothly.

So cut SE some slack. I assure you, it's not like they want the player base peeved and stuck behind the MSQ.

Frustrating as it is, it's just gonna have to be worked out and that takes time.
