Crazy Queue Times and more

Well for those of us who were home at 10am PST and logged in right when the servers went up things have not gone smoothly.

Most of us are still in long queues and in my case every 15 minutes or so I get disconnected from the server and have to restart in line. So what was orginally a two hour wait now says somewhere around seven to eight hours.

If you are sitting right at your computer and quickly get it ot reconnect to the server list then you can retain your position in line. If not you go back to the end of the line.

I hadn't planned on spending my second to last day off this week staying in front of my computer not doing anything but watching the queue so I don't keep getting knocked out of line.

Bleh.

yeah, i just tried to get onto lotham and it's 1 hour 15 min wait. All servers in the list were showing full lol

One of the reasons I didn't stay home as I expected this.

You really cannot have 1000s of people running around in the starter zones. :)

If there weren't staggering entry via queues, the servers would be crahsing, laggy, etc...

Even if the above issues did not happen, I don't think I would want to be running around with 100s if not thousands of others in the starting area.

This is also another reason why i decided not to take today off, i decided to go back to work, ill take monday/tuesday off instead.

Yeah it's about the same as most launches. The EQ launch was horrendous, and unplayable for days if not weeks, but then it was really the first real big time MMO.

I just wanted to get on and claim some toon names before they got taken, but then I'm not really sold on keeping my toon names either.

Def not how i expected to spend the first day. Really frustrating that you have to sit at the comp the whole time to keep your spot

On the one hand, it sucks that it always tends to be this way on day 1...

On the other hand it makes me wonder if you guys are new to MMOs or didnt expect this?

I remember diablo 2 and everything after just kinda hoped for better this time!

There bringing the servers down at 1:50 pst (now) for 15 mins, get ready to spam to get back before que.

i was almost done creating my chars after like 5 hours of waiting and BAM disconnected before i could type names out
