Then I had to wait a few days before advancing, because, well, Free Trial level cap. But then the early access starts and it takes a few hours just to get in game. And heavens forfend you get disconnected, because then it can be a few more hours to get back in.
And somehow I've still managed 12 levels in just a few days.
...I have way too much free time.
Yeah, I fear for people disconnecting in dungeon runs or something - imagine having to wait all that time just to get back into the game to continue. I had someone DC in an Aery run... but I think they were on a less-populated server, so they were back by the end of a boss fight. I worry such a thing will happen to me since that means a good half hour or so at least fighting to get back in.
And that's just for us who are pushing the new content. I can only imagine the frustration of those who just want to play normally (or participate in the Free Trial) under these situations. Fighting the data center errors and massive queues just so you can get back to trying to get a character through the 2.0 storyline.
