Anyone else expecting the new data center upgrades to not be enough?

[Dorfentyme]

With the amount of sheer inadequacy that took place over the maintenance periods of Early Access weekend, I am completely expecting their server upgrades to not be enough.

I just have the strangest feeling when everything goes up next week, it simply won't be enough. THAT would be the death of the game, unfortunately.

I really hope they are over-preparing.

Yes. Too many people paying and wanting to play and them not being able to support them all even with a significantly expanded server base would be the death of the game....
Yes...

oh wait.
No.

Guess you're a fanboy and didn't even read my post.

It's possible the server upgrades aren't big enough. If the people having to wait to play all week(or since EA) can't play by next week AFTER upgrades? They will walk. For good.

You're also speculating that it'll be a "significantly expanded server base". And that's precisely my point. It may not be enough.

Increasing the amount of servers and increasing the capacity of each server is necessary for the long haul of the game. But your absolutely right, its not going to be enough to sustain the game once the servers are stabilized. There are still mounds of errors to address, and more features still yet to be implimented. Once those pass through we are going to be met likely with MORE problems than we have now. Is it the end? No every MMO has had horrible spells of inadequacy and managed to bounce back regardless of how much hate each MMO generated.

The death of the game would not be simply the result of a week of bad servers, rather a combination of issues over the first year of its life. The reason why v1.0 failed was the core mechanics of the game was horribly written and coded, which has more weight than server issues.

I choose to be optimistic, and I sincerely hope that all issues related to logging in will be resolved by next week.

After watching them in beta four shut down the server to fix error 90000, repeat the errors, bring it down to fix error 90000 and have it unsolved because half the configuration was not made, and then have them artificially lower the limits for the world --- you could call me guardedly optimistic.

Well since its "upgrade" i've gotten both error 3102 and 1017. Stuck in 3102 right now
