there is nothing arrogant in my post. I didn't bash the ITs over there working their ass with terrible pressure on their shoulders. But what I'm trying to say is that with every MMO launches ever since Everquest, most of thos MMOs had troubles with servers congestions and stability. And the same excuse always comes up : we didn't expect that many people. Yet we are all into the Early Access for either of the 2 following reasons : You were a legacy player with 1.0 or you pre-ordered the game. I think it's safe to say that everyone who pre-ordered the game didn't do so just for a moogle cap and a caith sith doll. We all did it for early access. All those pre-order sales are tallied somewhere. It gives them a number. A number of people who WILL try to connect once the servers are up. Throwing the excuse that they didn't know just doesnt cut it : not for this game, nor any other online games out there.

And don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about the server troubles, the bugs, or whatever. I will patiently wait for them to resolve it, and unlike many on the forums, I know those problems will be a thing of the past in a week or 2, probably less, and we'll all be able to enjoy a great and fun game. Like I said, I'm used to those launch day problems, and I pre-order an MMO fully aware how it's gonna be. But I'm debatting that this "particular excuse" all game companies always throow at us is just bad PR.
