I have to admit I expected a little better handling of the launch from this team, the pre-order sales should have given them some idea of how the servers would react/handle the influx of people. Even the Steam sales went through the roof double of Shadowbringer sales. As a WoW player since Beta I am used to fails at launch, this is my first FF14 launch since trying the game in 2010 and I have to say I am disappointed.

I have spent the last 3 hours trying to get into a queue and stay in queue, it takes half a dozen login attempts just to reach a queue and see that you are somewhere between 3000 and 4000 in line just to spend 10-20 minutes in queue and get kicked off to start over again.

I love the game, I love the developer and even though I am criticizing the game it doesn't change my overall opinion of them, but I have to wonder again with all the pre-order sales this should have been enough warning to avoid this type of disaster.

I will most likely play or do something else for the rest of the day/night, log on early AM and get as much time in as I can because I know if I log off, any time after that I won't be able to log in and this literally cuts my early access time by well over half and a big chunk of that is logging in and queuing up over and over again. Lets hope they fix it before the game actually goes live.
