Ugh, Bamhead it is officially launched - they charged people for early access, therefore people now have legitimate reason to complain and demand answers. You cannot just take money off people and then say "oh btw we're not officially launched yet, and even if we were - mmo initial launch - excuses not required, that's enough".

I wasn't bothered about the bugs at first, but now, I am, because money has exchanged hands and I am not getting what I paid for - and, as it's a game, people won't be able to get a refund now for the physical CE + EA box set. That is reason enough to warrant complaints.

Clearly less people in a subscription based game is a good thing right? That seemed to work wonders for 1.0.

OP: Who cares? I'm an intelligent person and I've played MMOs before - both of those characteristics help me to prepare realistic expectations for any launch (yes, even if it's a re-launch; the server load doesn't discriminate). If IGN encounters problems during their live stream, then they encounter problems during their live stream; any MMO gamer worth their salt will realize that this is what commonly happens when MMOs with high populations go live. Those who will instantly judge and assume to know the quality of an MMO based on its very first days are people I probably wouldn't want in my community anyway. Such snap judgments imply shallow reasoning skills and a general lack of patience and understanding, as issues with server load in Early Access do not in any way represent the actual quality of the game.

I hope this answers your question. Good luck!

I don't read IGN much but I do know if that if they live stream the 'SERVER IS FULL' screen and booting you out...well, that's probably not good. There are a lot of potential players to lose and gain here.

According to the internet, anyone who likes something someone else doesn't like is a white knight.

I dislike entitled brats, and I certainly don't want to play video games with them.

The game's doing fine in Japan. A few thousand angry 12 year olds aren't going to end the game, I'm sorry, but you people who assume you're Video Game Designers, IT specialists, Social and Economical analysts, are merely consumers who already paid for the first big chunk of the game's costs. unfortunately, in this particular MMO, the "white knight" crowd is what the game has been made for.

IGN fans are not important. As much as SE is a company, they also have a lot of respect for thier products, and their loyal fanboys, believe it or not. This isn't a korean free to play moneygrab, this is a work of art.

Please, go critic some youtube videos, and stop attempting to ruin a great game by poisoning the community.

Everyone complaining about the potential community being whinny and bratty when there is nothing but complaints and people whinning all across the front page of the forums... look I'm not saying there isn't reason to complain but I am saying don't judge less ye be judged... that's how it goes right? This community so far hasn't shown that it is so different than other MMOs to me at least. I'm not saying its like Tera's or anything but still were not exactly cream of the crop. Let's not assume the potential costumers are angry confused children.

IGn reputable? lol they may have been a few years ago, but these days they have crappy reviewers, don;t know which type of reviewer to go with what type of game (read genre) and thus mostly deliver crappy reviews, yet they still deliver 9 / 10 scores to games like CoD each time again. Reputable my ass, bought is more like it.

and this was my 3/3 posts in general -.- stupid limitations.

IGN is a retarded site to begin with.

You are in fact correct!!!

They would have to not act like them for that to be taken into consideration.

Maybe if they had extended beta phases to last more than 3 fucking days each, they would have found a lot more of these issues with the game. Approx 48hrs of any server being active and utilized fully is nowhere near enough time to work out all the bugs.
