Dear Daybreak- This is not performance you have to accept. There are competent people out there who can do much better than this.
It's the launch of the biggest progression server to date. Anyone who didn't see this coming is a fool.
I got in, made a character named Sephiroth as a goof and got DC'd while logging out to make my actual character.
Ive been patient, haven't said anything yesterday or today. SO FING SUCK OF THIS CRAP MAN! These login issues are what plagues every mmo, but yours was riddled with game breaking launch bugs, and now you have login issues in addition. I JUST WANT TO PLAY> I DONT GIVEA DAMN ABOUT NAMES!> LET ME PLAY THE GAME YOU ANNOUNCED I WOULD BE PLAYING YESTERDAY and Thus I paid for. I
Still prefer this to the trickle logins. Login server lotto is the most fair way and least of evils to get people in.. well short of having a FIFO login queue to "cleanly" allow people in. I don't think there's an MMO out there that has the infrastructure to handle a launch like this. It would simply be cost prohibitive.
I spammed play since 6:50, started to log me in the first time it opened then booted me instantly, 27 more tries. can't get back in. How can a login server not handle an expected load? This launch is way way worse than diablo 3.
Well with this log in issue, no one gets to play as they get booted before they even get into the game.
There are probably dozens of MMORPGs with login servers that can handle the likely load hitting the server right now. Seriously, did they get all their DBAs from ITT Tech?
