Star Wars: The Epic Fail.

 

That's what's going to go down in history books in regards to this launch. This game will become a case study on how not to launch an MMO.

 

You get in in the same order as you entered your pre-order code. What are you complaining about?

This is a big day for us; we are launching Star Wars: The Old Republic, BioWare’s largest and most ambitious project to date, and we’re very proud that you’ve been able to join us. It’s an honor to be able to share this game with you.

 

That's the welcome message at the top of this forum, stickied by the bioware devs.

read the sticky launch was december 13th.

 

And if BioWare will regret one thing from yesterday it will be the mistake of using the word 'launch' in that sticky. Anybody with half a brain understands that we are in Early Access. QED: you have less than half a brain. Of course being partly brain dead you are immune to logical argument and will just bleat on ad nauseam until you finally get in, whereupon we'll shortly hear from you about how they went out of their way to nerf your specific character build.

 

On the plus side if ever their actually is a zombie apocalypse you'll have a head start.

And not because of the game or tha launch itself, but of the people/customers/players. :)

Funny you should say that, because I think this is exactly the way to launch (or pre-launch) a MMO. Because they use a period which is completely free of charge to the user the stagger the number of players on the servers. This will lead not only to less queues, but also to stable servers with no zone crashes.

 

The only counter-argument is mostly "it's unfair". Well since that may be true from a very egcentric point of view this shouldn't be of anyones concern at BioWare/EA/LA because they don't owe you anything until December, 20th.

errrr.. how is early access (even if they hadnt explicitely stated) not a launch again? Definition of launch is 'release product to the public' <-- this includes a smaller specific market (i.e preorders) ... and even if that is not good enough for you.. Toons created in a live environment that will not be wiped is MOST definitely a 'launch'.... You are merely trying to derail an argument based on the derailing of a single word..

 

Call it EGA, call it Final Beta, call it Launch, we are still in a state where the game has begun!
