I'm sorry to waste your time with this post, but I've just had enough.  I wanted a fair shot at my favorite MMO charnames, that got taken away due to staggered access, now I'm waiting for the servers they said they would be opening to try again.  I've gotten only 5 or so hours of sleep the last 3 nights, as I just watch the forums and server status page for updates.  Now it looks like it's going to extend into tomorrow, when my family is coming 3 hours to my house to celebrate my birthday.

FML.

Yeah, Wow had server queues... Wait, it had for months... 

If you seriously think this is bad this must be one of your first launches. You should have seen Vanguard and AO instead.

Any time you get before the 20th is just a bonus thing, M'OK?

Some of my friends decided to roll Republic. They have a 45 minute queue on their server. It's kinda funny because they made alts on my server, and I see them logging on all the time to play. May as well re-roll servers if you have to wait 45 minutes to log in lol. 

Everything is fine so far on my server. 26 ms and no queues yet!

TOO LATE! you already did. Anyone who whines about the things in the OP have:

1) Never seen a launch of another MMO.

2) Doesn't understand what a Launch is.

3) Has no clue that this launch is one of the most stable and polished, if not the MOST stable and Polished there has ever been...and we haven't really launched yet, thats Tuesday. This is called EARLY ACCESS!

cuz this is early access should be no ques at all

the que is logical in official launch

If you think the launch of Mourning Realms of Krel was better I have to wonder if your standards are a bit odd. Your premise fails. At least EA has an actual game at launch.

Honestly if they have that long queues with the whole stagering crap, then its really pathetic.

It doesn't matter its a preorder, if they don't have the number of customers its because they are moronic or just don't give a fuck. If they have the number they know how much server they need. Not to add the fact that they have to put more server for the launch since they can't have that number, they simply cannot know how much will sell in shop, they have evaluations though; that are pretty good tbh. But for the preorder they do have very precise number, so if they screw up, it really is because they want. It really is time to stop being stupid fan boys and defend this kind of stuff, and i don't only talk about swtor or even themepark fan boys, but every single damn mmo. They can't even do a preorder correctly since a decade and half, are those guys stupid or what? no honestly. Do they have anyone working on those things? it really seam they don't and just working on guesses. For a 130 million $ project? seam utterly wrong to me. I mean they can't even have their preorders play all at the same time damn it, those guy literally gave them their money blinded.

If you consider this the most poorly executed launch in MMO history, I would have to question how many launches you have participated in.  I've been kind of dissapointed, because the usual launch week festivities haven't been taking place.  Server crashes, severe lag spikes, sync issues, etc etc.  Normally thats all a part of launch, and they haven't had that (at least I haven't experienced it).

Yes, I definitely question your MMO street cred, when you say this is the worst ever.

This, though I guess it probably is the worst launche in mmo history for him since hes likely not old enough to have been around for any of the other actual horrid launches, like wows.

Ya, I truly laugh at these people. Have you seen any other MMO launch, or are you just starting a title, to sound familiar with all these other whiners. It has been one of the best, if not the best MMO launches I ve been involved in.

Half the servers are on medium or low load, so roll on these servers and stop rollling on the healvy load servers.

3. Gave a list of 40 servers tues or wed, and said they'd go live the next day.  They didn't.  To date, only about 6 have. 

They have more than enough servers at the moment, how many servers YOU need to roll toons on?

4.  Yes grace period.  No grace period... okay SOME grace period!

2 days grace period is more than enough, they are basically giving EVERYONE 2 days of free gametime, the companies ALL received their copies and will have them available on the 20th, if you cannot afford to get your copy between the 20-22nd, then it is not EAs fault, this is not a charity, it's a gaming company.

5  zero communication from devs on their official forums, limited announcements on facebook.  Most responses come from twitter and if you aren't on it, then you won't see them.

 They are busy trying to provide us with a great game, this is one of the biggest launches of a game, so don't expect them to respond to your unfounded cries because you think you deserve it, the game is not out yet officially, and you are not a paid customer yet. When the game officially releases, and they are still providing the same kind of support, believe me, I will be the first raising my voice. In the meantime, I would rather have them dedicate all their working force on getting the game fixed and ready than tweeting and facebooking.

[mod edit] See responses in red.

[mod edit] It's a small minority of people who complain on forums compared to those just chillin' and playing when they can play.

Yes, there have been a few issues, but nothing that should be overexaggerated as the "worst launch in MMO history." Some games were unplayable for weeks until they sorted things out. Most people are in and having an awesome time with very few problems.

The queues are an issue they hopefully work out soon, but I'd rather a queue to the game being down entirely with no chance to play at all.

This isn't the worst launch ever; this is the worst launch you're experiencing RIGHT NOW. And from the title of this thread, I have a feeling you're quite new to MMO launches.

Its not the worst but its not the best either.

 Most poorly executed launch in mmo history.

lol nah dude...not even close.

lie, not even close to call MOST. but if you just wake up gaming then maybe yes for you.

Anarchy Online launch was chaos!  Funcom managed to turn it around though.  They did the same wiith AoC.  Hopefully secret World will have a smooth launch.

What a crock!!

Your telling me you haven't been able to login? BS.

I've been in the EA since the first wave of invites and the most I've ever had to wait has been 5 mins, yes I can see other servers have had longer but even with guild friends logging in later than me the most they have waiting has been 25 mins.

This has been one of the smoothest launches I've ever encountered, I'm just fed up with the amount of ppl talking out of their arse.

I think its funny that because they call it 'early access' these developers think they can get away with launching their game with 75% of the playerbase not being able to even log in.

Really?  That is OK now?  This sort of thing is not OK, I don't care what the devs call it.  This is a bad launch.  "Early Access" is just code for "we didnt prepare enough and the game is not ready to launch so you cant log in".
