Did anyone really expect a launch without issue?

Title

Entering World..........still awaiting. Anyone actually in?

Ya I actually did... I mean 20 years later and 10 TLPs... how hard is it?

Good news was I got two of the accounts at character select at 2:05 and was able to reserve at least two of my names

Server Status says population high. So that means everyone but us logged in!

well this time i promised myself i wouldnt spam over and over just to get in right at launch....disappointed myself again.

Nope, I knew that as soon as I saw "Up" on the server select screen that a customer would walk in and the phone would start ringing off the hook. It's Friday people, go find a bar and leave me alone!

I was able to get into character select before it even said up, was click spamming , but unfortunately it has frozen upon ENTERING WORLD........still awaiting

Certainly not. Call yourselves lucky if you don't hit a server reset rollback at level 8.

Silly me, thought maybe DB would get better at this over time. Seriously, EQ crashing at world entry and leaving my character "up" so that I have to wait for it to be removed to login = stupid.

I didn't think it... WOULDN"T WORK.... at all... but thats OK, I do know everquest... this is part of the game

Well I didn't but then they said they could handle it. Obviously someone was wrong.

Enable character creation in advance might of helped (even limited... many people just want a few names they don't care to play all the first day necessarily).

Limiting character creation to 1 character for the first 2 days might of helped.

Launching the server at 6 am Pacific might of helped...

Yes, agreed. Character creation limitation might've helped. I'd just like to not time out while entering the server.

Ogre not even expect lunch without issue. Try to go to froggies, but fail. Very hungry, must eat.

People are just good at whining.. I mean what do you expect when you try to cram 1000+ people into one server at one time... S*** is going to get stressed... LIVE WITH IT... Or don't try to play on launch hour...

SSDD

On their stream on Facebook they said there is 3000+ online so far

I expected issues, but I did not expect my launcher to be on the fritz. I can't even patch the game, download stuck on 0 kb and the launcher closes itself after about 30 seconds. I couldn't even play on a regular server if i wanted to
