Login Queue for Headstart???

[TeaLeaf]

Login Queue:
Waiting....The server is full.
Position in queue: 988/988
Estimated wait time: About 1hr 43 minutes.
Thank you for your patience.

Not a good start when you consider this is the Headstart program just for Collector's Edition owners, god knows what it will be like when the normal edition owners can join too.

I am sorely disappointed to be unable to login given what must be a very limited population.

Now given up on the queue and will come back to it later tonight when some of the people go to bed.

Same here TL....waiting 1 hour i was on but can't find any off us bugger..:ranting2:

You sure those peepz will go to bed TL??

[TeaLeaf]

Aye, enough will anyway.  Just a great worry if they are struggling with almost 2 hour queues with a limited population.  Imagine what it will be like on the 25th when everyone else joins!  If this is what will become normal then I will not be renewing my subscription, simple as that, I am not playing a game where from the point I want to play it I need to queue for over an hour to log in.

And so it begins... :narnar:

[TeaLeaf]

Well, I got in, found Armitage too.  Now to level and get the Legion set up.

Ncsoft website is not accessible either atm so the XP bonus items are not available as you cannot assign them to your character.  Grrr.

I don't think the population is as limited as you think.  This was not just Collectors edition players but all preorders, some 400,000 last I read.  It wouldn't surprise me if those preorders accounted for 75% of Aion's player base over the next 6 months at least.  That every single one of those players wanted to play on the first day should come as no surprise.

fyi the bonus items don't come out till 25th, if you "missed" the proper news of their last week.

I got in on the second attempt I made.
Around 23.00 UKtime there was mayor lag and as I still had to work the next monring I decided to leave.
Lunares, Dannage me and Boon were teaming up nicely and there was also another team I believe (Sheepy and such).
 
Not sure if Lumi got to play alot though as he seemed to have a ping straight away.

am I the only one that's finding this funny as hell.. I'm visualising the queue now..
(sorry, couldn't resist although I did hold back quite a bit which for me is a definate accomplishment. Can I be an admin yet? lol)

[TeaLeaf]

Victim of its own success NF, sort of like when the WON servers went down back when CS was really popular.  I haven't seen queues since though, so it is probably as was suggested, everyone with the game all trying to log on at the same time as it was the very first day of release.  Personally I played a different game whilst I was queued for a slot on the Aion realm.

Which one was that TL? Patience?
Sorry, bad joke I know.
 
I only had some lag yesterday around 23.00 UKtime and Jim had some spikes.
Got to say that connection goes fast now.
