My point is SE knew about these issues during beta 4 and could have started the process then instead of 1 day after early access. They had the numbers of preorder and knew to some degree what there player base would be at the start. They may have been inconclusive but if you work in the IT world like I do, you always build your infrastructure based on the worst case scenario then scale back from there after traffic studies have been done! IT infrastructure costs money yes, but that is the cost of providing adequate service! Honestly where I work, if we started a new server farm and had the problems SE is having right now, not only would I be fired but a few others that work for me or above would be too!
and you really don't understand how server architecture works, do you? they didn't have the gritty numbers until EA. Far less than enough time to physically build several machines, install and test software, and then deploy them. they weren't mind readers. they ran a conservative number based on the information they had at hand. all of the butt frustration on these forums could be explained as people who literally know nothing about deploying large-scale, enterprise sized server clusters to a world-wide market.

and hammering the forums with threads about lawsuits and threats is just simply childish. once again: if you have played the game for more than zero minutes, squenix has delivered exactly what you agreed to when you signed up. grow up and deal with.

better idea: go play outside
