I understand that but if you knew you wouldn't be able to feed your family, pay your electric bill, or do anything - really, would you not put more effort in?

The fact that you think the developers haven't put any effort in only shows how incredibly ignorant you are with regards to programming. With an application as complex as an MMO, it is impossible to release any update without bugs. You children complained for a year about content, but whenever they release content, you pitch a tantrum about it not being perfect. Guess what, code has bugs. All of it. In every application. Everywhere. So developers have two choices, never release content until all the bugs are found (and thus, never release content,) or release content with as much testing as possible and hope that any bugs encountered have a minimal affect on the application.

It would still happen. All developers are used to one fact, even though we all hate it: With every little thing we fix, we break something else.

You really have no idea what it takes to be a software developer, do you?

This isn't a launch though. Wouldn't matter. This is a year+ into its life.

You must be new... Or slow.

Literally, game just dropped a huge xpac weeks ago without these issues. That's the proof. And this still isn't a launch, so comparing these issues to launch problems is comparing apples to oranges.

Here you go, since you refused to read up.

I read it, but it still isn't a launch. So enjoy proving that no MMO launches without problems, which is irrelevant to where we are today. Although I assume you were banking on proving that entirely separate issue false and then claiming that it somehow applies to the situation that Carbine is currently in.

No, it wouldn't occur, because you wouldn't have a development team any more. The developers have no control on the amount of servers that are deployed and how they are managed. It's probably done and decided by ncsoft.

Feel free to go into every thread on the forums and tell the people not responding to the OP what they don't get.

Actually it does make a difference, because the fact that it isn't a launch implies that there already was a launch. It so happens that during the launch of this game, they experienced very similar problems due to population. Because they experienced those problems already, they should know how to prevent them in the future. That's basic problem solving - find out the underlying cause to prevent a reoccurrence of the problem. It's also relevant because many times over the past 6 months or so (while the game was still live), they experienced lag issues like what they are experiencing now due to many players in one area. Again, that gave them an opportunity to do a root cause analysis and discover the preventative actions that could alleviate the issue.

I'm sorry, but have you ever tried computer programming?

You are remedial.

This is a launch. Its a F2P launch. There are 1000s of players trying to play, just like a launch. You cannot compare this with any type of expac release other than WoWs probably.

Top developers know that ensuring their staff has a comfortable paycheck with all of their needs met gives them the mental and emotional breathing room to be creative and efficient. Ideally, I think the publishers should get their dicks out of the gears, because every time a game crashes and burns, I tend to find a greedy, ambitionless, or out-of-touch publisher manning the flak cannon.

Not Cannae, I was thinking Arausio, where nearly 80000 romans were wiped out because two generals couldn't agree. Basically what we have here is probably the PR people saying to the Hardware techs prelaunch "We are going to need new hardware to cope with the people and we should put it online while we have the servers down for f2p" and the tech geeks going "no way, it will be fine, just give it some time to settle down." Then when the tech geeks were proved wrong they dug their heels in for 2 days until they finally admitted defeat and agreed they needed new servers.
