Which is why I usually don't ever ask for more servers when there are queues for a launch but those games are all P2P. F2P is different. A company for a F2P game cannot afford to put players off who may pay in the future. Plus F2P games do not see the type of downturn that P2P games do with player log ins due to the fact that there is no barrier to join. I would actually expect, as Carbine should, that MORE people will join as the time goes on. But unfortunately they have already lost people with the queues. If I didn't have friends who I'm going to play this game with I wouldn't be bothering. I'd just be gone. And to be completely honest I'm the kind of player Carbine wants. I have a lot of extra cash I can throw at a game if I like it well enough. They could have easily lost me today and they probably lost a lot of people like me unfortunately. It just seems like they can't afford that.

Except that a hell of a lot more people who you would WANT in your game, those who are good players who spend money, aren't even going to bother to post here. They'll just uninstall because there's no investment for us. I have no investment in this game right now. Why would I bother fussing with this F2P game with so many issues when I can just go to a different one that actually works?

Basically, yeah, they don't wanna have any knee-jerk reactions because launches always have high concurrency. They'll probably give it time and make a decision as to what to do if the queue continues to be an issue.

Sorry but to call F2P player "freeloaders" is dishonnest an quite frankly get off your high horse, you are no more entlitled to this game than f2p players since on average they will spend more money on a F2P than you so called monthly players. The best example of this are moba games The profit Carbine makes with monthly player is negligable next to the the thousands of players that will be willing to buy stuff in the store and can easely spend 30 buck a month on a f2p game.

What part of "buying more servers, only to have them end up be empty" do you not understand? This is a normal part of a launch. Wait a few days, things will be fine. It's day 1 of the new launch.
