I agree on the queue. I'd rather leave my PC on awhile than to hopelessly (with aggravation) try to log-in every few minutes.

I was in early access and faced this exact misfortune, which prevented enjoyment of the game.

Now, I'm unable to post in the regular forums because the servers are too full for me to hit 15 on any character.

I was one of the reviewers that had really though SE was changing around with the re-release of FF14. I even chipped in on the Collectors Edition, as a sign of good faith towards SE. Afterall, Beta went much smoother with ARR than it did with v1.

I feel like this is textbook carelessness towards the NA/EU fanbase on the part of Square Enix.

• No responses on twitter and next to none here.
• Phone service has taken some users several hours to be left without assistance.
• They know it's an issue, but haven't pushed towards a fix.
• They had this issue before... and still didn't learn from the past.
• Emphasis on their giveaway contests, instead of getting the game servers working correctly and crash free.

I'm very disappointed at what's happening.
