29th Aug, just got in :3

Allot of fan boys seem to rage at the ragers for the wrong reason. People are pissed, not because they cant get in, its because others got in, and such a small amount, ending at 2PM EST, and as a result of a staggeringly low population, the PvP exploit arose, so now a whole bunch of people are up to, or near lv 50, with loads of valor, credits, and good gear, which in turn, allows full control of the market, destroying it utterly before it even exists, and making a flood of PvP gankers, making lvling on a pvp server nearly impossible, staggered entrance would have been okay if they had kept it rolling, i can understand, they don't want a flood of people connecting all at once, may cause problems, but they stopped so soon, with way too few people, if they had let in couple 1000 people every hour, would not even be 1/10 as many angry people. Their excuse was to make sure it was smooth run...but being in beta, we know for a fact when all the servers were full at the same time, there was absolutely no lag what so ever, the only time i had any lag was when shadows were on (some reason it caused allot of lag for me, and that's a client side issue.) and at the dance party at the end, when hundreds of people all densely placed in one place.

Actually no. This wave thing wasn't even an idea till mid September.

Nope.

Tripple F-

Pretty much says it all.

What are you talking about? Its all there, black and white, clear as crystal.

Totally agree on all parts, props to number 4, however my favorite seem to be everyone's at number 1 X3, exceptionally good work today you guys! hugs all around!

I just want to put it down for the record that the way this early access program has been implemented is truly one of the most poorly conceived ideas that I've ever personally encountered in over 25 years of playing video games. I've personally participated in launches of 6 other MMO games, and there is nothing in those experiences that compares to how ridiculous this process is. When you are dealing with a pre-launch even that is only for pre-order customers, after an extensive and massive beta testing period that was a huge success according to nearly all sources involved - it begs the huge question as to what is the limiting factor in the way you have chosen to roll out this game. I personally participated in the beta in a very limited way (not by choice, mind you, I just wasn't lucky enough to get a key) and was only online during the big Thanksgiving weekend test. That test was wonderful - there were a huge number of servers, and a huge population of testers. The game performance was amazing. So, EA/BW - what exactly are you afraid of? The ONLY way this should have been done is to have given ALL pre-orders (perhaps separated only by level of game purchased - i.e. CE customers get 7 days, SE get 5, e.g.) access at exactly the same time. Of course it will overload the servers and queues would ensue and all that - but that's what we all expect. Making your customers wait unknowingly with no idea how long it will be or when to expect an email is just adding insult to injury. A poor alternative would have been to send out emails with a set time and day that your access would be available. I read in the top post how you are monitoring the server performance and are rolling waves based on server performance. Are you seriously saying you have to wonder at this point if your servers can perform up to the task - when you probably still have 90% of the launch day players yet to even be able to play? That is not at all a good message to be sending at the beginning of an MMO franchise. At any rate, I love this game. I love BW. But I truly despise and am sickened by the way you chose to put your customers through so much stress for absolutely no good or justifiable reason. I truly hope you improve, because this is a very very poor way to start out.
