This is all some kind of sick psychology test to see how much NA/EU players will complain over trivial matters like they're the most important things in the world. <.<

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.

There are definitely MMOs who have handled their stuff better than this. When you look at the disparity between the experiences JP and NA servers are having, it becomes even more of a hair-puller.

And yes, there is more pressure on Squee to get it right this time around, considering the crash-fest that was 1.0's launch.

But this is what they get for not fully testing their game because they were determined to stick with an August 27th launch date so all their release-day sales could go on their Q3 financial report.

OMFG I GOT IN!

/heart attack.

If this was their first launch of the game, I think that would be a fair statement, but they already had their practice run with 1.0

Managed to get in after a few attempts, think its starting to open up. Good luck guys.

I'm cool; I know new games have their issues, hell I was part of the 1.0 debacle. However this is starting to get a bit ridiculous, I'd be okay if it was just the login servers/duty finder; but to have to deal with their website being a complete waste of resources on top of it peeves me. 

I have received more updates and information from the RPC than I have by trying to battle the slow load times of their website or the lack of Dev posts about anything minus PS3 code crap. 

Keep the updates coming people, I really appreciate it!

I'm afraid to leave my inn room... I don't want another Error 90000...

Ilum was the final planet in the game; most players didn't get to it until weeks into the release.  That is hardly a 'day one' server uptime problem as is experienced here.  Guild Wars and Old Republic both staggered their deployment of users out for this reason - it eases the congestion experienced in new player zones.

Again, I'm not trying to say that a game must be released without bugs, foibles, or annoyances - but the release a game in which there are multiple outages, each between one and three hours, on the "early access" portion is a little more than what several recent MMO's have experienced.  This is a crucial period for the longevity of the game, because friends will be recommending this to one another and editorials related to the stability and 'support' of the game may turn negative.  Additionally, a game that has a F2P model can justify difficulties but one that carries a subscription fee won't be able to do the same.

It is the "early access" part that worries me as technically the game will receive another boost in congested populations and resource strain during the actual release window.

You are reading my post very selectively. If you read carefully it would be clear that I said it was but one of many problems. On swtor's launch there were instability issues, even memory leaks that damaged the game for people and made them experience horrendous lag, even after the fix for some time.

SWTOR was anything BUT a good launch

I don't remember the exact syntax, but in the emote list there's one that is maybe "/airquotes." All races have it!

D'aww.. For some reason I can't help but imagine a miqo'te flailing and stamping her feet, blowing steam out of her nose every so often.

I feel your pain.....

Progress! I've gone from the 1017 error to the "cant update character jp group" or whatever it says.
