QUEUE is Failing / Error 1017

So.. uhhh... That Aug. 27th Launch date? Yeeaaahhhh thats going to be like fanning the flames of a small forest fire onto a massive forest. The **** is going to literally hit the fan and drive off half the playerbase at this rate.

As to the login restrictions. Thats not going to help in the long run. Thats a terrible bandaide to the real issue, you need a ton more servers. Open up a bunch of new NA/EU worlds and allow players on congested worlds to migrate. Or even, I don't know, get the servers out of Canada.

Also, login restriction is like me going to a car dealership. Getting a new model car, but the car has a used car engine thats dying left and right. Get it home and salesman from car dealership knocks. He takes the keys away and says, " We don't feel like letting you drive at the moment. "

The people who keep comparing a small purchase like an MMO to a large scale investment like a car do know that such an argument is a strawman, right? And either way, SE isn't doing this to spite individual players. Plus, the only solutions I'm seeing are ones that would be as equally time consuming as running maintenance (BUY NEW SERVERS!! RELOCATE THE SERVERS!! etc.).

Unfortunately the solution is horizontal scaling, more efficient code, and actually testing the load you are expecting. They should be able to add servers without taking everything down, how much time was spent rebuilding this game only to give users an equally frustrating experience. I abandoned my legacy char to play with my friends, started over in phase 4 beta on the recommended server, and still can't log in. Out of the times I have been able to play I have gotten in once, probably out of 5 times. Square really needs to hire some engineers that know how to handle this level of scale.
