If you thought the Quake Live launch had problems then you should compare it to the launch of the DarkFall Online MMO.

To say the Darkfall launch was a little rocky is an understatement.

There is heavy demand and an apparent lack of stress testing that resulted in massive downtime for the forums, chat, web site, and servers.

Darkfall pre-orders were so numerouse that there were some problems processing them. This means that the “Launch” is delayed for non pre-orders. You are not able to download the client unless you have a pre-order.

The game has been offline and suffering from heavy lag, innactive accounts, and billing issues. A Darkfall patch is in the works to try and fix this problem. Darkfall Online has also been too busy to update their web site or forums much. Many consider this to be one of the worst executed launches of a MMORPG ever. I am really disappointed in Adventurine.

Not being able to handle 5k beta testers and pre-orders is laughable.

Any Dev team with any sense stress tests their server(s).

There was no stress test and it even crashed the account database and site and is still doing it now.

You fanbois are foolish and are quite an ignorant bunch.

I don't think you understand that Quake Live is still in Open Beta, so it techincally didn't have a rough launch, and personally, I thought it was leaps and bounds better than the DFO launch. Besides, for a beta, it went very smooth.

It not a bad launch it better than alot of mmo launches. They fix alot with just one day of patching. I dont that   bad consifering they fix a bunch of stuff. Troll all you want its a good game. GIVE IT TIME to grow. Nothing great is made over night.

Absolutely, if by "feature complete" you mean a sub par FPS that lets you do other shit.
