Servers down?

[Minotauro]

The first weeks of an MMO that wasn't properly stress tested first. This is why open betas exist, and why developers of new MMOs need to get their heads out of their ***** and plan accordingly for this kind of ****. It's unprofessional, and in this day and age when there are so many MMOs out there, it's unacceptable, TRION should have KNOWN to expect this, they should have had backup servers ready to bring online in an instance such as this, and furthermore they should have updated the banner pinned to the launcher to show that the servers are down or experiencing issues. If this was a free-to-play game that would certainly be one thing, but seeing as how I paid $60 for it, I have every right to come here and ***** until this is fixed! So no, I am not going to calm down, and no, I'm not going to play another game, I'm going to sit here and raise hell until TRION takes some responsibility for their **** up, and fixed this ****!

Yipes, looks like we have a cutter.

Are we serious? Do you have any idea what the term "Bottom Line" means?
Ever wait for an hour for your food at a restaurant because they were busy?
It's because they staff the minimum necessary for a normal projected day. They're not going to pay staff to hang around 'just in case' it gets busy.
That translates to the budget of a server. How much do you think a server costs for this type of game?
Whatever number you think of off the top of your head is wrong. They're about $140,000 on average. What happens when six months down the road; they have 3 too many servers just so you could play the first couple weeks and then quit because you got bored?
Well, that's nearly half a million dollars they just wasted. Can they sell the servers? Sure. They might get half their money back, less the cost for the physical break-down of the servers, not to mention paying the guy who maintains the servers to alter the backend code to not hunt for those servers anymore.
All that money wasted that could've been put towards new content for the people who will actually continue to play the game beyond those first six months; just so you could feel like you got your $60 worth.

I highly recommend a college degree in business economics.

About the same time everyday

That's why you RENT extra servers for launch day. From what it sounds like, I can assume you definitely lack a degree of any kind.

**** i guess that means every MMO looses hundreds of thousands 6months after release. SWG had around 30 servers that got reduced to 10. Planetside 1 that had 6 servers with next to no funding for support after a certain point and they reduced it to 1 server. Every company rents extra servers at start so they have enough for launch then can judge weather they need to actually buy them and keep them maintained or lose some due to lower population. Chances are they will probably rent extra when the series comes out to prepare for certain pop increase then.
