To everyone, Welcome to launch day.

Again, they had the ability to fix it - stop your white knight or log out so someone else can play. It's easily done, WoW literally just did such a thing where if you are booted from the queue, you do not lose your place. Keep simping bud.

Uh huh. We knew this was going to happen. Again, thanks. I'm not logged in either champ. WoW doesn't currently need to worry about queue, but ok.

also "its easily done" equals "I have no idea what im talking about"

Enjoy the game!

They were unable to. That is different to opted not to.

We were told months ago that they knew this was an issue and they could not acquire the hardware to fix it.

The two-week delay was for improving the software, not installing hardware that they presumably are still trying to get.

Naoki Yoshida says the delay was to ensure adequate quality assurance testing in the final days of development, keywords: QUALITY ASSURANCE TESTING
i agree, they had the option to delay in order to have a smooth release and avoid 90% of the complains they currently have

Anyone else feel a bit guilty playing knowing there's someone that can't get in? I wish I could enjoy the expansion guilt free.

Are you agreeing or arguing with me? My understanding is that the QA testing is making sure that the game software plays correctly, but I could be mistaken.

Yes, but it isn't your fault. That's the part that people need to get over. We've been paying our subs and pre-orders. We contributed as much as we could towards the development of this game as we can. We hype it up, make the community welcoming. Somehow, the people on this forum have convoluted getting other people into the server as our responsibility, and anyone who criticizes the lack of action (not even necessarily the lack of foresight, considering you'd have to be a total idiot to not know if nothing was done: this would happen.) as being critical of the creative people who worked on this game, and not the people who simply didn't do enough or decided it wasn't worth it to make the decisions necessary to be prepared. Our grief was on the table.

At 4:30 AM Hawaii Time, the queue was 43. When I logged in later in the day, the queue was almost 3000 and I was able to watch a recorded movie and take a shower while waiting to enter the game. I decided to play SWTOR for the evening. Now I am trying to login again. The queue started at about 2700, but it is moving faster than earlier today. Patience people!!
