This is sad.

Abariel just posted an article on the livestream with the video included, for anyone interested:

I'm glad the press is showing his support to Yoshi and the team too.

I just don't understand why people can not deal with inaccessibility. I totally understand it's devastating for some that was really looking forward to playing and keeps getting error. It's perfect understandable to be upset, but why the rage? Why do people get so aggressive for something like this and starts insulting people personally. Example of this behavior is the people that made characters on JP servers and started harassing and shouting disgusting racist messages on their servers.

People always bring up the "I paid for this game" or one way or another bring up money in their argument. Well if you're so sensitive about losing a couple of bucks, don't spend money on an MMO to start with. People act as if losing 1-2 dollar is worthy of personal insults to a group of people that have put down a lot of hard work for 3 years to bring enjoyment to people all over the world then have the misfortune to stumble upon multiple server issues that they're working around the clock to fix.

Seriously... just calm the F down and learn how to deal with inaccessibility in a different way. Stop spreading all that doom and gloom.


Sorry for the rant, I just wanted to get that out because I'm disgusted by the extreme egocentric personality in people. They care not one bit about all those people involved into making the game, they act as if SE doesn't deserve a penny unless their game works 100% perfectly.

the game is working fine zero issues today. i get DF partys no problem, no class quest locking up before a instance. one thing they cant fix are some peoples attitudes where everything has to be a put down.

about an hour ago on sargtanas war behemoth FATE poped up and there was more people then the engine can draw and no errors.

They've already come along way since 1.0. The game is awesome, there is just an issue with the logins and the server capacity, those will eventually get worked out. Yes it's unfortunate and annoying, maybe even infuriating, but things take time. This beats the hell out of returning to FFXI to stand in my MH because I only have good instead of great equipment. I think Yoshi-P has done well. The complaints on this forum and the beta forums before them are usually pointless and asinine. If Yoshi-P is reading, I'd urge him to not let those complaints and personal attacks bother him.

Do i think it is unacceptable that people could not log into the game for nearly 2 days? Yes, I do think that. Could they have done things better for NA/EU servers? Yes, I do think they could have. I also fully understand that issues can always happen and will happen during a launch of a MMO. Therefor I do understand I might get lag or will be unable to play the whole day. The fact that I could not play for two whole days is sour, but it is not the end of the world. I will however never personally attack a developer with personal insults, death threats etc. That is just low, in fact it is more then low, it is down right horrible, insulting and dumb.

I would think that most of us are adults and thus we can communicate our problems towards the Developers in adult way.

I cried with him because I was so ashamed of myself. In the end I couldn't hold it and I lashed out.
It shows he's trying his damnedest to give us a game that we all can enjoy together.

I couldn't agree more with the OP. But we do need to realize something: this is the internet. People tend to turn into ... horrible, terrible creatures ... when they are on here. It's the anonymity, the ease of not having to actually face someone while you insult them and say horrendous things. It brings out the worst in people.

I, too, sincerely hope this community can recover.

It's perfectly normal to feel frustrated and angry, but lashing out and scapegoating as if Yoshida and the devs are just faceless corporate monkeys isn't right. He's been very accessible since he took this project over, and has always considered the playerbase. Yet, a lot of people were quick to lose their shit and throw angry personal attacks at him. Shit happens, deal with it. This guy, and the dev team, need some fkin beers and a month long vacation lol.

To Yoshi and the Devs

I'm not going to sit here and lie, me like many others have raised my voice at some of the decisions made by you guys. But its not because I hate the game, far from it, I LOVE THIS GAME. I only want this game to succeed were others have failed, I know how much work you guys have put into it.

So with that out of the way I needed to think up a phrase that best describe you and what you have done for this game yoshi. I decided on using something with a bit of English Slang and coin this phrase out for you, so here goes.....

YOU DA MAN !
