They fucked up open beta too. Tens of thousands of players couldn’t play and considering SE said open beta was supposed to be a demo for people to try out the game they probably lost a lot of potential customers. Fast forward one week and they’re fucking up early access (and will probably fuck up official launch) too so there goes even more revenue, either from people demanding refunds or who may have but now aren’t gonna pay the sub fee after the first free month ends due to this experience. All SE has given people thus far are a bunch of copy pasted “Please understand” and “We are deeply sorry for this inconvenience” messages. What I’d like to know do they have a response when people write back with Dear SE, you aren’t getting my money, please understand.
Complaining on unrelated forums works, I got in.
Just found this little guy
It’s funny because their face is unamused like mine is from this server shit.
People are giving him the whole first world problems routine in chat. Valid I suppose, it does make me wonder if an online game will ever manage a smooth launch. Guild Wars 2, Diablo 3, Sim City they all had shit on this scale if not worse.
Yea now I’m startin to get a little cranky. My mother dun damn played all day. Every time i go out there shes like “you wanna play?” So we try and stupid servers full or completely down. She goes back to playin.
salt.

Partied with this guy earlier today. 
Maybe my memories tainted by the one time event weekends rather than the actual launch. The one with the Karka was especially horrible.
I haven’t had any more hard crashes, deleting the files in My Documents seemed to fix it, had to reassign hotbars and gearsets. Already got too much junk in my inventory.
…wat.
It’s been down for nearly 5 hours for me… “Server is currently full…” It’s got probably like 100 people on lol
Aside from the trading post not being up for the first few days GW2’s problems was lag due to everyone starting out in the low level zones although moving to higher level zone areas would fix that. You got the usual server queues (which was short), disconnections and people couldn’t play with their friends because they were put on the overflow server but here’s key thing, at least people could still play GW2.
14 slaps you with a 1017/90000 errors, group list failed to load, doesn’t tell you if logins are even open, a lack of transparency with what they are doing during maintenance and if you get disconnected good luck logging back in. Speaking of which, for a game that borrows a lot of gameplay ideas from modern day MMOs they failed to include one of the most important things. Booting idle players after a period of inactivity. We got people logging in then going to sleep as they leave the game on for 8 hours. This prevents everyone else who actually want to play the game from connecting.
I have decided to play on Carbuncle for the time being, at least until someone tells me that Leviathan is working properly
Created a new character on Alexander. Time to learn some moonspeak.
lol you had same idea as me… except I just want to learn how to play THM
Finally Leviathan is open for me!
Edit: 5 min later… server crash
Of fucking course, I try to switch back to Leviathan and it won’t load the NA/EU world list.
Us servers all down again. Maybe when they come back up people will be able to get in.
If we all weren’t so far with our characters, I would have had us move to Alexander.
It’s so chill and QUIET here. No asshats shouting for people to join their shells/FCs. Actually, no shouts, PERIOD. And there’s like no one in this server, so there’s no insane competition for mobs. So good.
Most JP servers are quiet, Theres really hardly anyone on because JP players are all asleep lol
Put my arcade stick to good use and taped down a turbo’d X button for a few hours to play a little bit before the latest maintenance.
Hopefully things at least function in the morning.
Servers are up… BUT they are already full LOL
