WOW Shocking!!!! We still can not play!

They're stopping digital downloads to stop people from doing exactly what you're bitching about; paying for a game that can't be played. Character creation restrictions are for those who got through that net and have yet to create a character. It's all damage control. You'll probably not get free server transfers, but, I guarantee you they'll extend your free time by at least a week, most likely two.

This has got to be the absolute WORST launch I have ever sat through, and I have been in many a launch. Literally can't play, I don't see a single dev poster addressing our concerns, and look, I'm wasting my free 30 days unable to play with my friends. Hell, I can't even log into the FORUMS on my own character, because it refuses to allow me to select a main character, and am forced to use my husband's instead. EPIC FAIL Square. You have had over a year to get ready for this particular launch, and you have had, what, 3 years since the original 14 launch to learn from this?

I do hope you plan to compensate those of us who can't even enjoy this game we BOUGHT AND PAID FOR with extra free subscription time to make up for what we're wasting now (on a holiday weekend no less!), and free server transfers once you figure out how the heck to run a server.

And oh yeah, you're stopping digital download of the game too? What, are your digital download servers the same as your play servers? Because, if that's the case, then you're failing in ways I can't even possibly imagine.

And my last rant; Diablo 3 was the WORST LAUNCH EVER. Star trek online was the WORST LAUNCH EVER. Neverwinter online was the WORST LAUNCH EVER. Guild Wars 2 was the WORST LAUNCH EVER. Darkfall online was the WORST LAUNCH EVER. Sim City was the WORST LAUNCH EVER. See the trend here? And that was only in the last two years.

WOAH guys i didn't mean to come off like a racist, and it wasn't intended. It's what we use in the military short for Japanese. Sorry didn't mean to offend anyone if i did.

Its been about five days and I still cannot login. I really expect some more free time due to this failure.

accepted! a lot of people on these forums that are made are using it as a racist slur so probably should refrain from using it.

Well, when you can get in, the game/servers are nearly bug free and smooth as a baby's bottom. And just because you are not able to log in doesn't mean "most" can't play. They're at absolute maximum capacity, so most "can" play. It's just the vocal majority who comes to the forums because they can't log in.

The fact that "most" people can get in and play is all fine and dandy, I haven't been able to get in for 3 days. So excuse me and the others in my situation for being upset about it and not shrugging our shoulders and going "oh well, maybe next week I can play".

So far every night I've been disconnected at some point after 7:00pm. There is no hope in logging in when this happens. Call it a night, log in the next morning and hope you can stay connected for when you get home from work or else guess what? not playing again! Oh wait get d/ced after 5 minutes and can't play for rest of day. repeat.
