Do you think it is too late to fix some of these things?
The first three months are almost always devoted to putting out fires and fixing unforeseen errors.
Anyone who draws immutable conclusions about the quality of the game at this point... probably shouldn't be playing an MMO.
Give it six months. Normally I would say three, but XIV may take extra time to get everything fixed since the devs are still working on getting the game to work on the PS3 and its 256MB RAM + 256MB VRAM where it's running on PC with >1535MB RAM + >511MB VRAM. Or >2047MB RAM + >511MB VRAM for Vista/7 version.
I sure hope so. I heard about a rumor that APB was completely shut down simply because they found some huge issue with the way the game was designed. Is that true? O.o Because it makes me worry about any other future MMOs if that happens to be true...
