It's been bad, but usually after one hour clicking i can finally get in. It's been 3 hours now, i'm with my tablet in my lap, watched a whole movie and i still can't get in. When i check the forums i see people trying to find a scapegoat, saying there are nerds playing too much, there are people going AFK and blocking the rest, there are handicapped people playing all day long, you name it, but those people keep forgetting the only party at fault here is SE. There are numerous gaming sites making fun of this matter, of how they managed to make a relaunch of the game worse than the first time. I played from the first day of 1.0 and it wasn't so bad. I thought they should have learned.
I ate the "it's a launch, give 'em some credit" excuse but it's been nearly a week since the EA launch and it's not fixed yet, wtf? Are we dealing with some kind of incompetent, recently made company lead by right out of college kids or are we dealing with a 10+ year renown company with extended experience and highly qualified developers and technicians? It's a shame really, i wanted to play this game, i wanted to subscribe. I've been a long fan of the final fantasy series and this show is a shame to the title in my opinion. I've read in a gaming site (can't remember which) that SE's motto for this game is "we apologize for the inconvenience" and i totally agree.
Sorry about throwing my rants at the forums but, as they say in my hometown, i'm really trying to turn my guts into another heart to tolerate this but it's really thinning my patience.
