I think Wow had server issues for over a year after that game got released.

I think Wow had server issues for over a year after that game got released.

So because 6+ years ago another game had server troubles, the server troubles of this game are justified?

Try using that logic in a courtroom.

Considering people are getting 33 days free (Early access clearly not counting),

The 30 days given with the purchase of the game is not free it is what you are paying for in the first place. So quit lying unless SE said they are actually giving us 33 days free. Which I'd actually like to see the link for.
Now I do disagree with people going to metacritic and rating 0s or 1s for server issues. Honestly 3-4 would be reasonable assuming they comment that it is due to server system being something you'd see done back in EQ days...
also wow 1k char limit..

None of the other MMOs had this many issues, and none of them ever resorted to tactics where they locked people out with system errors. Since Phase 4 this server infrastructure has been a disaster.

So because it is an MMO we have to pay and hope we can play??? The reasoning here is astounding!! SWTOR and Rift had flawless launches compared to this one so your argument is void.

uh...most I played at launch had more issues and long server downtimes...

MMORPGs are not known for having stellar launches, so this is more par the course...

I think deep down this is what's upsetting people more than anything. I understand the sentiment behind it too, because yeah, it's lame that MMO launches are always expected to have problems and it'd be wonderful if one day this was all a thing of the past. But, and I guess I'm expecting far too much of user reviews, going to a review aggregate and saying "this game is the best game ever, 10/10!" or "this game is the worst game ever, 0/10!" isn't doing anyone any favors, and makes everyone involved come off as really unbalanced to me. Then again, I also don't know anyone who actually takes Metacritic user reviews seriously, so maybe it's a moot point overall.

Is what happening justified no, SE should of figured this out in BETA4 it should of never been sent to launch. Just because it is a great game it should be not be given a free pass on server issues, they knew the potential for this problem existed and they launched with the problems present.

But what other outcome could happen when you end up with over double your expected population in the game.

This game is having the same issue WoW had at launch, it is too popular atm. If there is any problem for a game to have, I am sure that is what they want.

Anyone giving this game a 0 honestly their opinion is not even valid does not matter what the logic is, just like a 10 is not valid. This game is undoubtedly one of the best mmo launched in a while if you ignore all the server stability issues. But they exist so it cannot be a 10 atm anyways.

The game is great and will last a long long time. The server issues are temporary and will be fixed soon.

Get over it folks. Be patient and have a break in the meantime.

People ether have short memories or just like to flat out lie. This is so far not even close to the worse MMO launch. There still needs to be 2 solid weeks of near unplayability to even come close to WoWs launch.

As for the "I paid for the game and can't play they ripped me off!" tools. Read the EULA kids. In there it says that there can/will be service interruptions. If you can't handle that you should of declined the agreement and got a refund right then. You agreed to it so such it up.

Ohh and so you know. Using troll terms like "white knight" does not make you look nearly as cool as you think. It just makes you look like all the other internet garbage.

♪ Killing it with close inspecting

Killing it can only make it worse

It sort of makes it breed ♪
