    I've played lots of mmo's at launch, and they all go pretty much the same, I don't think its an excuse, but I think its just being realistic. I'm not putting down SE or defending them, I am just as annoyed as everyone else, but it's pretty much what I expected to happen. I paid an extra $40 dollars to pre-order a PS3 copy just so I could play during early access, and I pretty much feel like I flushed that down the toilet, but I pretty much saw that coming.

    Also, last night someone shouted something about "FFXIV japonly", and everyone yelled at him ... but I don't know but I think Black_rose might be right. I know this isn't peak hours for jp servers now, but they have got to be flooded with na/eu folks now, and from what I have experienced, they are running much smoother then na/eu servers have been. I don't know ... this is about the time conspiracy theorys start up ... a bunch of annoyed nerds sitting around with nothing to do ... yelling at each other too much.

    I'm Angry, but fully expected some issues. I'm thoroughly enjoying the game so far when I can log in. I'm just hoping that early access has not started my 30 day sub. I might wait a week or two be
    fore officially starting.

    I'm not saying that this hasn't been a mess.
    However, just because we think patients as opposed to throwing some childish fit on the general forums is a better way of dealing with the problem at hand dosn't make us a "kissass".
    Agreed and very well said.

    I'm just as disappointed as everyone else. However, they are aware of the issue and are working on it. I'm sorry they don't have an instant fix, but the rage posts are more than a little silly at this point. Also, let it be noted that not everyone who complains is wrong either. These are indeed legitimate concerns that need to be addressed, but we've been informed that they are being worked on.

    So where does that leave us?

    Rage posts do not make the fix come any sooner and only bring out the worst in people. The people who say "This happened at the start of 1.0 and look how that turned out." are just being ignorant because the fundamental difference is that the original producer did not listen to the few players that were bringing up issues. This one is. These issues are being addressed. 2.0's launch is not comparable to 1.0's in any way. Concerns are voiced, those concerns are acknowledged and are being worked on. Any angry posts beyond are just meaningless.

    The first week can make or break a mmo due to feedback and game reviews. Some bugs are expected with emergency maintenance once in awhile. Most understand that and its part of any new MMO. Gamers have come to expect updates and info on whats going on. Add in that only NA servers are having the issues while JPN servers are not makes many think the JPN are being treated differently.

    Go to any MMO forums and you can probably find FF ARR in one of the threads being discussed. If the feedback would have been positive that would have attracted more players. Feedback being negative is causing many new potential players to not give it a try. Sorry but the bigger the player base the more SE can invest in the game to make it better.

    It is frustrating. I have the pre-order from Game stop that I haven't bought yet. At this time I wont be buying it when it comes in and canceling my order. Come Friday ill come back and see if everything is fixed and running smoothly. If not Ill just write this off as a failed game.

    I really hope the game turns out great. For that to happen though there needs a lot of people playing the game. Right now the game isn't going to attract players or keep the players they have. Once a game has failed in the eyes of the gaming community then its nigh impossible to do well. Yea the game may survive but not with the numbers needed to produce.

    And not only all of this, but these problems were all avoidable, cause SE KNOW EXACTLY HOW MANY PRE-ORDERS WERE IN. They know the very exact number of players in all their servers at the moment the EA started, and they should have know before hand that having such a bad distribution of servers will turn on in this.

    White Knights don`t do any good to the game, nor does hating, but SE needs to know they SCREW THIS WEEKEND UP, and problems needs a fix NOW. Defending the course of action SE has will not help anyone, they need to know their costumers are sad/angry/both, we don`t need to encourage them, they have a work to do and they have to do it.

    I think most of us agree it's good of us to give other humans the benefit of the doubt, patience, and understanding. We've all been in situations where we've greatly benefited from other people displaying these qualities, and yet as soon as the humans we're dealing with are part of a company--we stop? This doesn't make sense to me. Square Enix is just a group of other human beings and sure they make mistakes, everyone does, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop treating them like humans--which means giving them my patience.

    Besides these server issues, the rest of the game feels solid and it should be an understood fact that these things will be taken care of at some point very soon. Some who threaten to quit will, some won't and some just don't care and are waiting for the fix. Regardless, we have a good game on our hands.

    If you feel the need to appeal to the upset vocal mass, feel free, but you also have a good portion of players that are patiently waiting and eagerly anticipating the time when I can log in again.

    Best of luck.
    ^^Pretty much this.

    Haters gonna hate, whiners gonna whine. Just keep doing as best you can, SE. It'll all pan out.

    The way I see things will start to mellow out by tomorrow, People have to go to work and do other every day shit that will reduce some of the server stress, a lot of ppl take off time just to play none stop. Me for one have to stop trying to get in game because I have to work tomorrow. Any ways Good luck getting on everyone and good luck SE on coming up with a plan to this.
