SinisterWarlock Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) To be fair to everyone, wipe the servers clean, fresh start for all, and begin on the 15th as originally planned. Dec 15th servers open as planned, except all preorders are given access. This is the best way to solve this trainwreck of an early access. This is the ONLY chance Bioware has to redeem itself, else go down in gaming history among the epic fails, and this one is true darwin launch. In order to prevent a situation where a lot of players are unable to play due being in server queues, they created a system that left the vast majority of players STUCK IN QUEUES with unknown wait times, waiting for their game access to be turned on. They've chosen by far the greater of two evils. And when dec 20th comes around, with the current system they're probably going to end up with queues and server crashing anyway. How dumb.

Comradebot Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 And then alienate every player who got in before the 15th? Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XolituDe Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 1.75 million people all log in on 15th of december, nice. servers would crash and can break them which did on occassions, happen during the BETA stress testing. queues would be insane. everybody who got in to the game, would be fighting for mobs with thousands of people being in the starter zones.

Exidiums Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) We'll get to play when we get to play. Till then just study, or watch some live streams. Edit: If your worried about server firsts, join a new server that is created on your wave. Edited December 14, 2011 by Exidiums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mephane Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Even as someone not yet in I say a server wipe would be the most horrible idea, with distastrous PR repercussions. It's even worse than not doing anything about the exploiters at all, because it hurts the majority of honest people who have done nothing wrong.

Leadlian Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 To be fair to everyone, wipe the servers clean, fresh start for all, and begin on the 15th as originally planned. That wouldn't be fair to everyone at all. The 200,000 people who got in all get their characters wiped without warning? Yeah, that sounds great.

This is no "epic fail". Do you not think BW anticipated all this "not fair" non-sense? This was CLEARLY spelled out to everyone who pre-ordered. In 2 weeks people will remember this as successful and no one will admit to being a nerd rager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HelinCarnate Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 2 things are needed. Bring back the suggestion forums. That way I can make another suggestion to create a new piss and moan forum where people can post crap like this to make it easier for the rest of us to ignore.

Because every single person who ordered the game will all log in at the exact same time, right? You never get more than about 20% of players on even at peak times, 10% of subscribers online at a time is the average for mmorpgs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This! whilst the more I think about it, I think EGA is a bad idea (regardless of when I preordered FYI!) because of how it is alienating friends from levelling together in an *mmorpg*. I do not wish to make it so that other peoples time invested was wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakeneyes Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Bioware has been telling everyone about the staggered early access since we were able to pre-order. It is your own fault if you did not read it. And I didn't read it...but missing out on 2-3 days of early access will not stop you from doing anything in the game. All the first people to hit 50 will be doing level 50 instances, and then they will wait for their friends to catch up with them so they can raid.
