It's the point!

A significant portion of their customers are trying to play all at once. This is exacerbated by the fact that a huge chunk of these players are logging in and then not loggging off even when they're away for extended periods of time. The result is that the servers are currently running at and beyond capacity. As the new MMO launch fever wears off the problem will fix itself.

Blablablabla

No single person "purchased" Early Access, it was and is, a reward for people supporting the game before it's official release. The pre-purchase price (if there was one at all, most if not all digital copies are offered at full price) is figured into the final price of the game in all legitimate retailers offering it worldwide. If you paid any extra just for the Early Access code you were either swindled or obtained it through illegitimate and probably illegal means.

Nice to know that not even ARR can learn from other mmos mistakes.

The "mistakes" you are referring to are trial and error and dumb luck with server stability, what works for one data center does not mean it will work for all. I realize this is not common knowledge but if you have no idea what you are talking about, it is generally considered common sense not to talk about it.

In moment of frustration I forgot myself in the joy of the forums arguments!
I'm sorry for my "blablabla", Master Adoros. I usually avoid to write on forum, because of the sneers of more knowledgeable players

So, you are probably right, with my download pre-order package I've been given 3 days of EA.
Basically you are saying that I shouldn't expect anything from EA because it's free. I take your advice wisely. Gifts are always rotten!!!

BUT, because I'm a woolhead mule:
I BELEIVE ONE DAY A GAME WILL BE LAUNCHED WITHOUT PROBLEM!!! YES I I DO! AND EARLY ACCESS WILL GO SMOOTHLY! Gamers, let's pray for better tomorrows and peace on Earth!
(I'm joking... half-joking )

This is what happens when you have 2 day beta's.

10 years after FFXI and SE still haven't figured out how servers work and how to maintain them and plan ahead. They wait till its not working before considering getting it working. Very disappointed.
