To everyone complaining about not being able to get into the game...

[Punainen]

I just want to say this; You DO realize that this problem is a result of an overwhelming number of people trying to play, right? That the game is just WAY more popular than they expected? You can't increase server capacity overnight, have a little patience. It's only been a week since official launch, and they're implementing the first big fix on it tomorrow.
No need to get riled up just because you can't play right now.

You know what would happen if they removed the restrictions? The servers would go haywire, and then NO ONE would play, just like BEFORE they implemented the restrictions.

So please, calm down, take a deep breath, find some other hobby while you wait. It isn't the end of the world, and your money isn't wasted. The game will be there and ready when the fixes are done.

Thank you.

TLDR.

the problem is... the game is soon to be way LESS popular than they expected, due to people not being willing to put up with this shit.

peole just arent going to stick around if they cant log in. plain and simple.

I waited 3 years to play this game, you can't wait a week? The instant-gratification attitude I see running rampant in these forums is painful.

It's been said before, but I'll say it again. If your game's worst problem is too many people are trying to play it at the same time, you're doing a damn good job. Anyone who is going to quit altogether because they can't play right this second is better off elsewhere. I'd personally rather not play with them anyway as they're the same kinds of people who ragequit dungeons because they died once or twice.

If people are gonna jump ship after 1 week, chances are they aren't the type of players they want playing their game anyway and probably wouldn't last more than a few months.

Better to have the servers packed at launch then to add too many server and have them become ghost towns six months down the road. Not being able to get in just makes people want to get in even more, despite their protests. This is just the initial zerg of players who are trying out the game, and a lot of these people won't be around in the near future anyway. I think these days there's a large crowd of players who, deep down inside, are addicted to the genre but bored of it. They'll play the crap out of a MMO and then complain there is nothing to do, quitting and moving on to the next big thing. Nothing wrong with that--it's hard to devote thousands of hours to one game when there are so many out there.

I love how you quoted them with TLDR but responded as you did read it.

Why couldn't you complain about the complainers in one of the other 100 threads started about it?

No. The problem is a failure to prepare for the capacity of people who want to play. You're trying to avoid placing the blame squarely where it belongs.

Square-Enix was not prepared.

The game is awesome. It plays incredibly well, a much more finished product than any other mmo I've played at launch. There's no glitchy pathing, holes in the world, bugged quests/mobs - that's a testament to the production team and QA.

However - they have completely failed on the back end. Duty servers & Realm servers not capable of the load. Login servers not capable of handling a queue - You're 142 in line.... you're 135 in line... world full (or connection to server lost)

Their account management systems have been a nightmare - multiple account creation pages - from the actual SE site, to the SE Store Site, to the Forums to the mogstation - codes and email delays -

This isn't the customer's doing. You can't write this off as a result of their product being too popular.

It's simply a failure in preparation.

The problem is the fact that 80% of all servers are selfish AFK rejects - though they are smart - because capacity is 5k per server and that number is absolutely primitive and laughable.
