server full

[Noréia]

Our server sucks! 13:00 today, spot 534 in line, after 20 minutes still 475! the high hopes on new blades and/or intelligent distribution of incoming new players to the unpopulated servers did not happen!:rant:
That is spoiling the experience substantially! :sad:

I have elected not to join several times now after seeing a queue like that when I logged on.  If they don't fix it quickly then they will lose subscribers as I'm not paying for a game that I regularly can't log in to without waiting an hour.  In the mean time, I've played WoW with neither queue nor lag.

I just logged in briefly with zero queue time.

WoW was exactly like this when it launched, if not worse.

This isn't unsual for a new MMO, I imagine it'll take them a month or two just to get to grips with the server demands.

It's a no win situation to be honest. If the publisher opens up loads of servers so there are no queues everyone can get in but then in six months when lost of people have decided the game isn't for them and those who do play are  not logging in every night the servers will all be under populated and no fun. Then servers will have to be shut and people migrated to new servers which is never well received. Damned if you do and damned if you don't :sad: This is why, after starting about eight MMO's at the last count, I usually wait a month before signing up. It avoids the early pain. Small consolation to sitting in a queue watching the counter go nowhere though.

I expected the queues but what i have had so far is that i am in the queue for like 15 mins and am halfway the list but at that point get an instant join.

Yeah it can be a pain if you want a quick game but the game has just launched and as i know there will be something i don't really bother about it. I just log on and get in the queue and in the meanwhile i do some other stuff that needed to be done.

As you may have heard already, BioWare is in fray of launch day and as we approach what is Prime Time, users can expect to see ever-increasing queue times on the servers. BioWare is aware of this and cautioned players from creating characters on high population servers. In Senior Online Community Manager Stephen Reid’s post on the official forum, he recommends players avoiding a certain list of servers unless they are prepared and willing to wait long queue times. Reid also noted that BioWare is in the process of employing population caps to dissuade people away from creating characters on those servers but will ease up on the cap over time. For players that might end up on an overpopulated server and are frustrated, Reid also mentioned they are in the process of developing a character transfer system however, there is no ETA on when we will see it yet.
For Stephen Reid’s post in full, hit the jump.

 

It is all a work in progress

Was much better before maintenance today and yday evening as well! I definitely share Tealeafs opinion on that: these guys get our money  (and that is quite some) and I care heck about the complexitiy of launching such a game, I want to be able to decide when I play and I want to get in instantly. Period! Definitely the lines in Wow have been annoying too, but they copied the wow concept, why copy the flaws too? Anyways have fun guys!




Way to many tanks in this game!

On the question of sever caps I wonder if this will cause problems for me when I try to join your server in the next week or so. I'm signed up with Origin and listed in the guild list on their site. Should be ok?

I expect they left the open window (as mentioned above) to allow guild people the chance to get on servers before they lock them down, as to the que's ive never expereienced them, im begining to wonder if its dependant on planet or RL location as when i was on dromuund kaas and Hutta yea i go que's, once i left the common planets (nar shadaa etc) i was going like a rocket

[BrotherTobious]

According to their twitter feed they are aware of the issue and are working on it and have taken down the site to fix the issue.

Not much help but at least they know about it.
