chrisishere Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) If your metric for a successful launch is lag and server stability then they get 10/10 If your metric for measuring a successful launch is how much enjoyment vs grievance players experience - then this is an appalling launch . Enjoyment wise. 90% of the players haven't been able to play, so 1/10. . Grievance wise. No matter how much you dislike peoples reasons - you can't argue that there have been a HUGE number of very dissatisfied customers on these forums - and its safe to assume many times that many not posting on these forums. . So, no, I would say not a great launch day, infact worse than any other recent mmo *obvious I mean 'players' in a metaphorical sense...

EcGBorn Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I would agree with you. This launch was horrible. The worst I have ever been a part of, and I have played mmo's since "The Realm" back in the early 90's. I'm ashamed I thought and spoke so highly of this game. This has me reeling in a corner.

I bet you're one of them The justification for annoyance is irrelevant. Annoying your customers who paid you to be entertained is bad - be it through server troubles or your customers not understanding what the * meant in your advertising campaign. Your upset customers is your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baklap Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 why should they care about you? the launch went great for them. Have you even seen the massive PVP exploit? Not great for them, bans and throwbacks are necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is so true. f measured by community satisfaction, this launch is a failure. I wonder how many people have all ready decided not to play as a result.

kreliavan Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Enjoyment wise. 90% of the players haven't been able to play, so 1/10. technically release date is the 20th, so technically no one should be in at all. They've said from the beginning that this early access was to allow people in gradually. aka, rather than having people trample over each other to get through a door until that door is full of dead bodies they insisted people form an orderly line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
