Zakamo Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Why the hell are servers FULL when a limited number of people are playing??? My server has said [Estimated Wait: 15m 00s] for the last 20 mins.... I am watching other servers in the list have their estimated wait increase.... some are 40min!!!! Something is seriously wrong, this does not bode well for the general release! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teradek Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Good thing it's a staggered launch, huh? And they are limiting total number to attempt to keep servers balanced. they will stay around full/high for a while during Early access and on through launch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because FULL should indicate to you that the "limited" number of people must exceed your preconceived notion as to how many people they actually let in...

Bigguyonarock Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 The servers said full last night, and they said low this morning. My guess is they're capping the population each day to spread out the population during each wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakamo Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 And they are limiting total number to attempt to keep servers balanced. they will stay around full/high for a while during Early access and on through launch Not a good idea..... Tonight I am sitting waiting to play for half an hour.... tomorrow I am telling all my gameplaying friends about this and probably posting about it on Facebook. They should be using this time to get is to encorage all our friends to play the game, not avoid it like the plague! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosev Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I just dont get it. They handled 2.5 milion ppl in beta and they cant handle less than that now? They handled 735,000 people in the beta and are handling more now...You must have misquoted somewhere along the way. Just figured I'd help.

Zor_Prime Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I wonder if there is a delay between the launcher and the link in the forums. I just look at the forum link and everything is fine. I can see the following statuses: LightStandardHeavyYo MommaFull Do they just not show queue times in the forum link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oPURT Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 The servers said full last night, and they said low this morning.

Mazikeen Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I find this post amusing given all the ranting from people angry that they are doing a staggered release. If they let everyone in the wait times would be closer to 2 hours. Add disconnects, crashes and restarts and people may see why they are doing this in waves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakamo Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Bingo. Someone with a brain finally responded. Sorry, but making people wait for 30+ mins to access their character is not going to help advertise the game!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmaura Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I just dont get it. They handled 2.5 milion ppl in beta and they cant handle less than that now?

Icebaron Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 So let me get this right....They stagger access so there would be no queues, then most of us sit here in a queue like non queue while people they did invite now sit in a queue? How is this a smooth launch again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something is seriously wrong, this does not bode well for the general release! This is why I will log in remotely from work at 9am and move my character every 30 minutes. I will also log in before leaving work if I haven't already done so. Anyone know of a utility to auto move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is outrageous is a 7 day queue. There are going to be queues on 20th regardless.. This release is laughable. I had the impression Bioware knew what they are doing. I dont have that impression anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KakiroX Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 some people are crybabies, people went through 6 hour ques on aion launch, for like the first two weeks, rift launch had 1-2 hour ques. Omg I must wait 30 mins to play a game I've waited months to play While I don't agree with this staged pre-release, being in que is something you should expect as an MMO player when going into a launch.

Hingster Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 i think they are trying to run the servers like a bar bouncer make them look busy, but not really protecting the server itself with a que Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosev Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Sorry, but making people wait for 30+ mins to access their character is not going to help advertise the game!!!!! And this, this right here is why there is a staggered launch. You are massively ************ about waiting for 30 minutes. The amount of complaining and crying over 4+ hours and server crashes would be equal to the ************ now... Honestly, they can't win either way.
