High forum activity and claiming this = bored troll.

The **** lol.

I think I'll play. Oh wait I can't because of this staggered launch.

Tryhard troll #1. @songofprecept: you are #2, don't worry.

It doesn't. Instanced zones can be run on a separate server - there isn't a Coruscant server where every single instance of Coruscant is run, it can be split up, otherwise the solution would be totally useless. @Eital: This morning a friend told me there were 37 republic players logged on his server. I do think they need to be more flexible in how many and how often their waves are.

People who want to play the game.

Strain on realms was what the mentioned weekend beta stress test was for. The realms can handle it, and will have to handle it after release during peak hours. If the player load in a zone is too much, instanced zones are in place, and if there are too many players overall a server queue is in place. A server queue of people who actually are trying to play as opposed to a selection of people who may or may not be trying to play.

SWtOR uses instanced zones to alleviate over-crowding.

Woah, new trolling techniques, never seen before on a forum.

Apologist scrub #6491. How many more of you are there? It would be really witty for someone to reply to this with 'EGA complainer #xxx', difference is, one set of people have a complaint about something they disagree with, another is just a group of trolls/flamers/fanboys who are just as bored as the first group waiting for their early access.

Server queues and instanced starting zones were something that seemed to relieve starter zone crowding (I didn't find the beta bad in terms of crowding, even on the weekend beta). I was going to power level to 50, the leveling race in MMOs is pretty fun, the EGA has really removed the incentive for me and with that some of the fun - not sleeping for a couple of days to get to 50 isn't something I'm going to do when people are 20+ levels ahead of me from the start. Competition is where I find the fun in an MMO, this has been affected for me, hence my complaints.

Why not just stop everyone who didn't pre-order on the first day from ever playing the game.

If the access is based solely on when you pre-ordered, then they should be able to give you a pretty good idea of when you will be let in, so far nothing so I'm having to check every wave. I thin the EGA method is bad enough, but obviously they won't change it now. They could at least give people a good idea of when they will be in, instead of letting us guess based on asking people who are already in when they pre-ordered so we know around where BW is up to in terms of letting people in.

It's a fact, not an opinion, that with this method there will be people let in who aren't even trying to play, which is unfair to players who actually want to play but can't try.

It's not the same, if you want to play you should be able to queue and wait to play. You shouldn't have to wait for access behind a load of other people who won't potentially be playing. The server has queues so it doesn't crash, and the servers will have to handle full loads during peak time after launch, so they can handle just pre order players now. I don't know about you but I haven't seen much on these forums in the way of praising this.
