Are you just closing your eyes and hoping the queues disappear?

{| style="width: 100%;"

What else are you expecting? The only thing they can do is add more servers (which they've done) -- there is nothing to be done about full servers until people stop playing.

From a company that can't add the number of pre orders to the number of servers OR slots available I would not doubt it....

Define 'AFK for too long'. I would be rational to define 'AFK for too long', because, you know, bad design doesn't disappear by making people compete vociferously for slots.

PC gamer money decor? I have not been given this item nor Rest in Piecemaker that I voted for using my account e-mail,  is there any reason for this?

They have said in the past that they will "do their best" to show us all updates.

{| style="width: 100%;"

I am not sure what you think they are supposed to do? They are adding servers already, they added a few since the start. While they do this they also need to make sure people don't just sit in the game for ages so that other people can play.

Do you have any idea AT ALL how physical servers work? Let me put it briefly; You know how your graphic card sometimes cannot run certain games on the highest settings because it's too demanding and it'll slow down (LAG) your framerate? Yeah, that's how servers and number of connections (players) work... Please do your research before criticizing developers and their jobs. You numpty.

TBH speaking for myself, I don't know how physical server work, feel free to explain. So IM(noobish)O, if they can put working servers up when headstart is about to launch AND they can edit (during headstart) a few more extra working servers, why not used those extra servers up-front and spread the crowd? I mean, these servers were (ready maded) for planned use (on june 3rd)  anyway... Having Dc's especially when a new game (pre)-launch..I can live with it	If Devs having some 'launch-issues'....I can live with that	But beeing several times 1- 2 hours in queue, due to unable to loging due to over-capacity on a server = lame one way or the other	We are speaking commercially here..we DID payed for advanced headstart, so editing extra servers DURING headstart = epic fail (..and this is not the message you want to give to your community...) ;)

Increase the Servers physical computing capacity. That is what they can do. The hell with adding more servers.

No, and you're missing the point. Open beta wasn't long enough, and they weren't very extensive. A weekend or two here and there every other week or two weeks isn't a beta. Plus the problems we're having are due to the sheer number of players, something that wasn't experienced during the beta stages because of how difficult it was to get a key for the majority of the time, the rest didn't feel like playing seriously when it would've been wiped at certain points anyway. All of which make it impossible to properly stress the servers to the point they have reached now in headstart.

Well 9am UTC + 2 hrs = 11am UTC, its 10am UTC, explain how 9+2 = 10am?

Some of us, myself included. Made our characters on server that were NOT full when we did so (read as early on Saturday morning). Only to find out later that when we tried to log back in later that the servers now had multi-hour wait times. So there goes playing with your friends and guildmates as was planned out. And before someone else says "But you can cross realm raid and dungeon!!!". That is NOT the same as being able to actually play with your friends in questing or other group activities.

You can't make everyone happy...so dont try do the best you can which they are and move on.

I rolled on Stormtalon the morning of 5/31. It was Medium Pop at the time and had no Queue, and I got in late due to my Internet being down until around 5am Central time.

How are half empty servers a problem? All they have to do is merge them later. Pretty much every MMO in history has had to do server mergers (except WoW, cuz it's WoW). IMO, it's much better to get off on a good foot than worry about "OMG we may have to merge servers later and that will look so bad." Well, it looks even worse to have people wait in 30 hour queues -- people who aren't going to bother with it and just go back to WoW.


 * }
 * }

{| style="width: 100%;"

i mean we were all in early access. Were pretty much the pretest they'll prob see how this affects the ques and go from there. :P But im glad they are quick to respond to problems.

{| style="width: 100%;"

It makes sense for an interim solution.


 * }

{| style="width: 100%;"

Not yet, but I'm sure it will come.

There should be at least 20 US servers - there's 11 - there should be at least 30 servers total there's 22 They haven't added anything http://wsstatus.com/


 * }

{| style="width: 100%;"

20 US servers? So in 30 days we can have a few ghost towns? No. Let Cougar and his team do their job. We dont need SWTOR server 2.0 here

I've been through two recent MMO launches now that had queue problems at launch, and no AFK timeout. In both cases after they added such a timeout, queue times were solved soon after.

Putting this in is a very good idea.

{| style="width: 100%;"

If they can't even count the number of pre-orders and match that to servers then we're in for a bad time. Everybody knows how important a smoth launch is for a MMO these days, every problem at launch (or pre launch) is lots of lost customers down the line. How many people will wait or not buy the game because of the early access ques? It should have been a easy job to have early access smooth sailing, how bad will it be tomorrow when others join in then if they can't even make sure it's smooth when they know the numbers...

Cougar, Is there plans to add a server status page to the website some time "Soonish" after launch?
