I WANT A REFUND

[SinoS]

Let's compare FF14 to a more recent MMO: GW2. I was able to login on the 1st day. It was sluggish as hell, but I got in. And guess what? The next morning it was all sorted out. They had overflow instances. A bit annoying to match up with friends but you could play the game and level up your char.

Anyone know the method to get a refund if you did not buy from SE? I got my game from GMG.

Lol, demanding refunds when playing on free subscription time (Yes, they're extending your 30 day game time).

LOL returning things you're not satisfied with... LOL!

Honestly, the launch week is the most exciting time for an MMO. All of the momentum and buildup of anticipation - and then not being to log in or create a character on the same server as your friends, knowing that tons of people are playing RIGHT NOW, and you can't do shit about it. I'm sure a lot of people had made plans to play during this holiday weekend or even took some extra vacation time to really dig into the game. I bet they really enjoyed spending their benefit time trying to log in to a server.

So yea, I'd rather just say 'fuck it' and get my $30 back and go do something else with it.

Playing on free subscription time? I'm not playing on any time because I can't log into a world. Wake up dude. This is disgraceful. Really. SE should be EMBARRASSED. I thought they were a polished, upstanding company - guess not.

Eh, this is probably the worst launch I've ever experienced. I've been there for RIFT/SWTOR/GW2 and they were leagues better.

I'm not going to say the game is bad because it's not, though who ever handles the Server/Account side of things, needs to get fired.

That's because they were all doomed to start with. Well, with the minor exception of GW2. RIFT and SWOTR both had to change playing models because they were losing a player base. GW2 was already a F2P game model, but people still demanded refunds.

What's that got to do with anything?

If there were such a thing as a flawless MMO launch overreacting threads like this might actually be validated. It's the nature of the beast for MMOs to experience bugs and major technical issues at launch no matter how much you beta test and prepare ahead of time. Even well into the game's lifespan it's a constant battle against bugs and technical problems. GW2 that people love to bring up had horrible problems at launch and it's having problems to this day. WoW, as old as it is, always has problems cropping up here and there. FFXI isn't perfect either.

There are things SE probably could have done better (like communicating), but if it wasn't one thing that went wrong it would be another. The launch really could have been flawless and people still would have found something to bitch about anyway. Besides, SE is actively working on a solution that we should have early next week if they stick to their timetable. Be patient and it'll get better. Or go away and make room for people who know how to be reasonable.

Anyone who comes on the forums and demands a refund is a troll.
