There is something called a Stress Test that all major MMO's go through to make sure things like this do not happen. Some of you are asking people to wait 2 weeks to play a game the payed $60-$150 for. I am a patient guy and while last night i was not upset at the developers since i know that things pop up that don't appear in beta but since i am 95% positive that a stress test was never done on the console servers i don't think this was the best launch strategy ever. On top of all this the people who bought the more expensive versions of the game like myself have time sensitive content that we are not able to take advantage of. This partially nullifies the reason for buying these versions of the game and makes the gamers feel as though they are getting screwed. They have a right to be upset since those bonuses run in real time not play time. They need to bring the servers down an fix the problem outright while compensating people for their lost content.
I wish people would quit defending the developers on this. This kind of down time is not acceptable for a MMO. It would be one thing if the game had a single player but buying a game that is online only and then not being able to play is completely unacceptable. If you are not ready and the game is not stable then you push back the launch plain and simple. This is a great game and i give the developers props on the idea but This kind of launch issues have killed other MMO's and i don't want to see that happen here. Thank you development team for your hard work and long hours to fix the current issues, but i'm not alone in saying that this could and should have been avoided.
