SE dropped the ball

[Zorkind]

There are ppl here that need to learn what a crap shit launch really looks like. hehehehe

Thank God there are other veterans here with me or i would be depressed already hahahaha

Its laughable how you ppl complain, appears that you guys don't have any mmo past history.

But its ok, this year, aparently you guys will have a lot of opportunities to learn what a crap launch really looks like, with about 4 or 5 MMO launch this year.

Of course that it is not a good thing and i am not happy with all this launches together, i mean, i can't pay for 5 mmos!!! : (

And all looks really nice. : (

I've said it before: Comparison is null and void.

When people come to my work with complaints, I don't get to say "I did better than Wal-Mart".

If you're going to shut down some servers, shut down all your servers. There's nothing more aggravating than seeing green lights beside all the JP servers and red lights beside EVERYTHING else.

Many of these problems are associated with congestion. The best servers in the world are not immune to congestion issues. The game could of been in beta testing for the next 3 years and it would not be ready for this.

Every MMO during its launch period has issues. Hell, WoW had bigger issues than this during its regular patches, let alone an entire launch. SE's doing pretty good so far in my opinion, and FAR better communication lately than other companies.

All this nonsensical banter aside, get out of your chairs, dust the cheeto crumbs off your shirts, shake off the leg atrophy caused by your already 12 hour gaming/forum ranting session, and take a walk. There's more to life than this game and making a marathon of it. If you're pissed about the 88 cents worth of gameplay that you're missing or that you can't flex your epeen because you aren't level 50, yet, then you need to re-evaluate your priorities in life...

i have waited for a long time to play again and i can wait for Square-Enix to kill some bugs and flush some errors.

I don't usually bother staying up until 4am for MMO servers to start up, but I wound up being sick (night before a 9 hour shift that I'm currently less than 2 hours into, yay!) so I wound up being awake, so I decided to try my luck in logging into the game from my PS3 for the very first time right as 4am hit, when the servers were gonna get hit with going from empty to OMGWTFBBQWAFFLES!, and had 0 issues. No log-in queues, nothing. Played for a couple hours, relogged just to see if I'd hit a population queue, nothing. (this when the server had a lengthy queue around the same time of night as when they brought our servers back up near the end of phase 4) I got right back in with no wait, no lag, I could jump out of those AOE rings just fine, didn't get disconnected. On a PS3

Then I log in later in the morning after I get to work, same thing, no queue, but I hear about the duty finder issue and that's it. For an early access/early launch, that's pretty damn impressive to me compared to the other MMO's I've been in since beta. So, all that's left for me is wondering:

Whining + Ball dropped = Irony?

[Zorkind]

It's because the JP rules the rest is the rest, after all it's a JP company ^_^

Joking :P

It’s amazing how people react of things like this, have you ever played an MMO before? Have you ever played an early access before? Things like this are expected and happen with almost every MMO I played.

I even expect worse than this, look how crowded the starting zones are, some MMO’s would crash every minute.

We have a solid game and running smooth, that’s the important thing.

SE got cheap with hosting EU/US servers, its just as plain and simple as that.

the Japanese aren't having these problems.

Cope with another mmo. Eve Online's space sandbox keep me busy till the servers are up again. They got 3 days till the real launch. Don't make this worse than v 1.0 SE.
