lets go folks....head start =  full launch

fix plz

head start is full launch, it's just a marketing trick by games companies to get people to buy early...so we have the trick of two launches ;-)

It is really bad to have players treated this way. All we can do is wait or play another game. I am playing SWTOR and Diablo 3 while we wait for Arena Net to sort their servers out.

its like a biscut in a disco dance off.

Even MMORPG staff can't contain their bitching...

Craze....

You're a funny one.

Tonight on Login Wars 2.

i know this is all complicated .. serious business & stuff .. login servers on release day that is ... but you'd think after 8-12 years of the same crap someone would have learned SOMETHING by now ...

Its not just the GW2 login servers that are down

account.guildwars2.com is borked

support.guildwars2.com is borked

GW1 is borked

Basically all of ANets web based infrastructure is.........borked. 

Login Wars 2

...does this mean we can report Garrett for trolling..? :D

I'm waiting and drooling to get in... I was in last night for about an hour but passed out cause it was 4am. 

I do know this, if it was any other gane, like TOR, it would be total failure... but folks around here are giving excuses like candy.

Sounds alot like #error 37 all over again..

So where are the folks screaming fail.. fail.. fail..

Pretty much the exact same thing hit Blizzard on Diablo 3's launch.

clearly this is what was meant by "all stick"

Had that issue at 11pm when logging in. It was reporting a firewall error. Never had any problems in the past logging into the betas but I uninstalled malware bytes and then it worked. Not sure if that was the real problem or not, but figured I would pass along the info.

This isn't intended as an excuse but I'm sure it will be taken as such, people always throw around the "it's been (insert years) you'd think they would have figured this out by now" all the time.  I'd like to point out that the number of players that hit the login servers on popular MMO releases (aka prelauch) today FAR exceed the numbers experienced years ago.  Yes, there are a FEW examples of companies who "successfully" launched without said issues but that brings me to my second point.  MMO's are fairly unique in the world of software and "trade secrets" are rarely shared, and in many cases aren't even allowed to be by law (contracts).  Whether or not any of this has to do with the current issue ANET is trying to deal with doesn't discount the dynamics for launching an MMO today is vastly different than it was in years past.

For the record I was also booted from the servers while creating a new toon and am less than happy about it but given the reasons I listed above I'm not about to NERD RAGE over it.

After tiring of the epic battle between me and the patcher in Login Wars 2.

I decided I'll go play Login Wars the original and go back to where it all started while I wait.

'Cannot connect.'
