Queues aside, the launch has been absurdly good

[Larsen 3]

Server still hasn't crashed once and has needed only two restarts since it launched.

Fairly little lag in most places. Maybe a brief spike every 20 minutes or so. Latency is otherwise stable.

Queue grace timer works (in most cases) so you can log back in immediately if you get disconnected.

Dynamic respawning makes leveling entirely possible even in ridiculously crowded areas.

10k players starting out all at once and it has been totally playable 100% of the time I've been online, eight hours total.

Queues are an unfortunate side effect of 20k+ people wanting to log in while everyone already online gets to stay on as long as they want because the server is running so well despite sporting 10k players. Staff might not have expected it to go this smoothly, which is causing the queue to move forward very slowly as slots are only freed up when somebody finishes playing and voluntarily logs off, or the rare occasions when the grace timer fails for somebody. So far it has worked for me like six out of six times. I had to sit through the queue once because I lagged out and didn't bother to log back in immediately, but other than that, it has been unbelievably functional all around.

Server started with 5k cap. Then they started to gradually increase it to 10k.

The queues are insane and should reconsider opening another server. Beeen in like logginplace 13k and stuff like that. Other than that when online the game runs okej and everything seams to work.

Yeah it was a great launch! It's just a bummer that I have been trying since launch yesterday to play. I finally got in after waiting in queue 3 times but it has been retrieving realm list for an hour now.

 Wasn't bad once I got in. Servers opened at 12 my time yesterday and I got in at 1030, was only able to play a couple hours then time for bed, lol. Woke up excited until I logged in to a 12k qeue at 7 am. Had coffee and breakfast, ran some errands ... got home at 10:40 .... still in qeue at 4500, bleh. Oh well I suppose.

Ya they need to seriously consider a second server to cut this in half, there's a lot of interest in this so I can easily see two servers hosting 5-6k each at peak times. That would be ideal. The issue is right now you have more people trying to get into the game then there's actual people playing, this is wayyyy too backed up to be hosting just one fresh server, i know it costs more but this is a very heavy load to be putting on just one.

Yeah this server is going to be amazing.

And you forgot to mention the amount of DDOS traffic during the whole race. Stable release considering all the factors that come in to play.

The queue is obviously a pain in the ass, but the server itself, even with so many people on it and in the same zones, barely had a hickup.

They need some system in place to remove people staying logged in when they finish playing.  Between people staying logged in and gold farmers running accounts 24/7 its going to be unplayable for most people that have any sort of life.

The game does seem to auto-disconnect you after 20-ish minutes of afking. I may have tested it, but not more than once so it may have just been happenstance.

Also, just in-case anyone wants to wake up early to escape from the Que boss... 

This is how the fight looks at 4am EST

Start good? oh, maybe you say taht beacause you are a man of the 5000 first players, but the other 20k of the que  dont see anithing.

No, when  you can see the brutal weight of players want to enter to a server before the openning, prepare the sv for  a 1/5 of the people, isnt a good start. Today im in queue  before 11am. Actually  15:00  with 4400 people before me.

Why thei not do 10k or 5k higer the sv?

 

I have a questeion. How the goldspamers ingenie to enter allways?

 

No seriusly, pls do bigger the sv please. A few dais ago i have a hype and a lot of emotions, and now only have queues and  indifference

lol its not like goldspammers are staff members who just want to make money selling gold on server ? so they have a vip entrance ^_^

One point is correct - if you are on the Server it runs rather smoth.

But to get there is Hell. 6h queues are really hard.

I still hope that the hype goes down quick so that we can play normally without start the queue before going to work, so that we can play after work.

server runs smooth

more players in Q then ingame

 

-> good start

[Lopherus 4]

"Queues aside." Ok, that's a really good one. A 12k+ queue that works to within 1,000 over about 8 hours...to then disconnect you, and put you back to 12,000...well, no, this is is an awful launch. 

[phil 0]

Completely agree. Been playing for around 36 hours, haven't sat in queue once. No lag, no crashes. Amazing launch imo
