But at this point I'm just about ready to give up on trying to play today. It's been 3 hours with "server is full" and nothing giving me any indication as to when I'll be able to actually play.
And the updates are rather ambiguous in their wording with the whole "restricting log-ins" bit. One could easily interpret that to mean they're actively putting a cap on just how many people can play at a time, which would be terrible. I highly doubt that's what they're doing but it's honestly starting to feel that way...
I had one of my friends pre-order the game and with work and the nearly constant emergency maintenance sessions he's been able to play for maybe an hour since Early Access started, and I know there are others in the same situation as him.
I would guess that their restrictions are to see how stable their fixes are before opening it up to the full brunt of things.Â
After all, we seen a few quick emergency patches go into affect already, and they all eventually broke down again, so they are probably going a bit slower this time around (this is all conjecture on my part though).
The crappy thing is that even with these server restrictions they are still having instancing issues and people getting kicked out of the game when they zone. They haven't fixed anything and seem to have only further upset the community. I am understanding, but a bit upset myself. I just think that with millions of dollars at your disposal that you'll be able to do something like upgrade servers. Arena Net had similar troubles when GW2 launched last year and they upgraded them extremely quickly and they are not a behemoth company like Square Enix is.
