Hydaelyn Role-Players

I know I should expect this on release, but seriously so many errors, you fight one another pops up, and it always has to do with logging in or Instancing. I'd almost them rather just say wait till release and everything will run smooth as a dream, than get constant chunks of my playtime taken every couple of hours. I'm a square fanboy and all, but unfortunately I wasn't born patient. Oh well though, sucks for us I guess.

How annoying. I think I jinxed it when I said yesterday that atleast we weren't experiencing any grand login issues or things of that kind when the instancing was being a bit shoddy.

Now we do have that. Seems to happen with every MMO launch, it doesn't cease to be annoying however.

I can't even get to the point where it can tell me the world is full. Every time I login it tells me it can't locate the servers or some nonsense.

"Unable to update the Group NA/EU character list."

Man.. They are pushing my last nerve here.. I bet a lot of us feel like that heh.

Same here man. I was briefly able to get the lists when they were just back up but then it stated the world was full and kicked me out. Now it's just not showing the world list anymore, can't load em.

Just as an addendum, I don't think this happens with every MMO launch; Old Republic didn't experience any major connectivity or downtime when it came out.  I think Guild Wars 2 was fairly stable as well.

It's a popular 'defense' to say that every MMO experiences outages on release day, but in my experience that was primarily a WoW thing and due in no small part to a far bigger population.  

I'm not saying that they're not 'justified' in experiencing some problems, but I think in their case with prior working knowledge of what an MMO release takes (FFXI and FFXIV before ARR) they have less of an excuse.  Bringing down a server once is fine, bringing it down repeatedly for the same issue becomes problematic.  This stage is critical for Square-Enix to prove that they've learned the mistakes of the past and corrected for them, even more so because there will be a subscription involved.  Companies such as IGN, Gamespot, and others are playing right now as well and these problems will be reflected in their reviews.  

Even the legendary issues of Diablo 3 were corrected after a few hours of maintenance.  I would rather FFXIV be down for one large, six hour chunk than down 3-4 times at 1-2 hours each time.

Hell I cant even get the world selection to show up so I could make a character on the JP servers (if i wanted to that is)... instead I just get constant "world is full" 1017 errors. >.>

It's getting on my nerves but I played too many MMO's. Annoying crap like this tends to happen in the first days

This made me laugh, .

You must be joking. Swtor had more than a few problems on launch, not to mention it's overal performance and especially in ilum. GW2 wasn't perfect either, but they did a very controlled launch so it went slightly smoother.

Now I can't even press the start button! This is so annoying. ><

Haha thats brilliant, what emote is that?

Yup here's me again futilely charging into the login server.



That other kid is a SE network admin laughing at me.

They should at the server least give us a waiting queue to get in the realm you know? "Oh hey there! Yeah we're gonna put a limit on logins but.. Here is a line you can wait on for your turn!" Newp lets just not let anyone in

I just kept relogging into the game, eventually the servers popped up. I expected morre issues as an EU player personally...

On the bright side, PS3 players can use their usb keyboards to take screenshots! I kept getting a 'failed' notice before, no matter what. Seems it's working now, could just be a coincidence, but there you go.

Keep trying though! Perseverance seems to work!
