Never has there been a game with no afk kick and smashed up servers a week after launch. Never could a game not be purchased a week after launch. Never could you not get into the game because your character has been stuck inside for three hours. I would love to know which game you were apart of that topped these issues. It had to be on a coma Dore 64 I'm sure.(09-04-2013, 10:50 AM)Elisea Renyven Wrote: Still nothing but problems from what I've heard. I honestly don't know how many people are going to put up with this before cutting their losses. All you see is very angry people and the sad part is its a very good game... Beta phase 4 failed. All there is to it.
This is still a far cry from a lot of bad MMO launches. And I know several people who have managed to get in and create characters, so this is a huge improvement over how things were a week ago.
I think the problem, here, is that the Titanic can't turn on a dime. Not that we are going to crash into an iceberg or anything, but getting the servers running flawlessly for millions of people isn't a problem that can magically be fixed overnight. And sorry if the titanic was a horrible metaphore, I had Amy Grant stuck in my head suddenly.

But alas never has a game been so good and everyone wants to play. Which painfully is the major cause of all the problems.
