This is sad.

I don't believe these whiney kids....this launch war better than _any_ launch I have witnessed before. I feel sorry for Mr. Yoshida...don't let 'em pull you down. You did an amazing job and you know it!
吉田さん、本当にご苦労様でした。

Yoshi needs to go on vacation for a couple weeks. Server issues suck but im sure they will clear up the issue soon enough. So far this is an amazingly fun MMO and i know il be playing it for quite a long time if it gets solid content patches. Keep up the great work, Yoshi!

All and all this hasn't really been that bad. There are certainly things that need to be addressed but from the looks of it the team is well aware of the problems.

When I'm in game I am really enjoying myself. As soon as they get the servers stable and fix the afk thing they can start addressing game issues and we can begin.

I am not "white knighting" (which is the most useless term and one the reasons the mmo community is considered poison). The game has problems and they need to be fixed, but based on the communication from SE and the passion shown, I have faith they will be addressed. They didnt invest the amount of money a second time to have the game fail at launch.

If you are really that hurt over the ~3 days of problems that have had during you free play time, please don't subscribe. You are the kind of player that yells at people in dungeons and makes the community toxic. Relax, enjoy a really fun game and just move on.

Edit - grammar

Please spread the word and lets all give yoshi a warm loving thank you!

The guy's stressed out - he's got a lot going on, and hey, the good news is that there's a lot of us who support him in the NA/EU but don't say anything because when they do, they get attacked by the people who are having a bad day with ARR. I haven't always been able to get in-game, but I'm aware that coming on forums and ranting and whining about what I'm missing out on isn't going to help anyone do anything. I'll provide my feedback on the situation when necessary, but that's it.

I support Yoshi-P and his team's valiant efforts despite such immense pressure. Every team is going to face challenges - it just so happens that this one is regarding server issues in NA/EU. The game is already a stellar title once you get in-game, so here's hoping for the best for the guys.

Every one of these monster games has these hiccups, i for one , like many of the silent majority support yoshi and his team. I wish that these vocal whiners would quit their bickering so wecan continue to contribute to getting the behemoth. awakened so the rest of us can play. I shall continue to lurk and support yoshi and his team and hope the silent majority will come forth and support as well!

Hey, I'm just talking about Equity here. I don't mind the wait as long as every player has the same issues as we do. Yet the thing is, the Japanese players aren't having the same issues. So... where is the Equity.

Aside from that, the game is fine and I really enjoy it. I'm not cancelling my reserve/order because I know that eventually the game will be fixed.

I'll wait for a translation, from Reinheart perhaps, before assuming anything. Sometimes tears come from relief after a huge effort when you relieve the stress and worry that you would never get it done. It wouldn't surprise me, though, if a lot of it had to do with the poor performance of the NA/EU servers themselves.

Any high-traffic forum seems to concentrate the rage posts and trolling. Even these v1 forums were infamous for it. (Kind of not surprising that people who get entertainment from ganking and headshotting would behave verbally like that as well, but that's a whole other field of study.) That doesn't excuse such meanness, especially directed personally towards Yoshi-P or any individuals who are serving the community. Personal attacks are inexcusable.

However, people do have a right to express their frustration at how the last two weekends went. Yoshi-P himself probably feels this way more than any of us. Here we have a beautiful game we want to share with friends, and when it finally arrives, it's inaccessible to many, and longtime friends and guilds are separated by these game server issues. In a social game, the choice is to devote whole days to trying to join a server with friends, or to play alone. It's more than inconvenience. Previously and going into launch, at least NA and EU prime time offer zero regional servers that allow character creation. That affects many of us and probably Yoshi-P the most.

But I do agree with the OP in this: that it's sad that people focused their anger on Yoshi-P and team, when they should have been angry at the situation and supported the only people capable of fixing it.

Expressing frustration is different than making crass comments about WW2. People need to grow up.

If Early Access had been done from Wednesday or Thursday instead of Saturday 200% of this negative feedback posts would have been avoided. As simple as that. With that said let bygones be bygones and lets enjoy our RR
