So SE gave a small notice to us

[Novastarone]

We have confirmed that the issues on the North American/European data center Worlds have resurfaced. Therefore, we have placed a severe login restriction in order to stabilize the servers.



So rather then fix the issue,they told us to bend over and take it dry.

[Threelibras]

Key word Severe.. that means give up hope people nobody is getting in if they aren't in already.

[Shadomen]

And they allow people to AFK for unlimited amounts of time with no process for kicking them out after long periods of inactivity. Great solution!

It's innovation! Going boldly where no MMO has gone before!

Or some nonsense like that. I didn't mind the issues, at least at first, but the fact is we preordered--PRE GAVE THEM MONEY--for this headstart only to find the servers are a mess. If preplay is this bad, how bad are the servers gonna be once this has good reviews out that convince people to buy it?

This sure won't get good reviews when the reviewers can't play it.

Why would anyone give the game a good review with all the issues going on??? It doesn't matter if the game is good if you can't play it.

[Novastarone]

Oh Square will likely pay people like IGNorant to write a good review.

I'm not sure we'll have to worry too much about good reviews at this point. The major part of the game is server stability, which isn't there. Maybe after a while when they get things straightened out or enough people leave that there are no more stability issues, but if any member of the press gives this a good review, other than maybe "if you can get in, it's a great game, but it's a big IF" is not doing thier job.
