lame, they could have pushed these patches down in any of the last 7 days.

 

Umm... OK, for that matter, why didn't they just include it in the first patch... or even better, release it last year! They're just delaying things as long as possible to piss us off....  very clever of them...

The entire point in saying that something will be ready at X is having it ready at X. It doesn't matter if some issue comes up at the last minute. By having said it would be ready at X, the company should have taken steps to ensure that no issues were able to come up at the last minute. Call me old fashioned, I suppose.

I would say that I'm only getting what I paid for, except that I actually did pay for this...

Nice! they managed to merge all logins at same time. Euro and USA. At this hour we will be all trying to enter at same time.

Here in spain will be 10:00 pm, nearly 2th of May... and time to go sleep.

Yes, but Spain is lovely so you still win! 

except that I actually did pay for this...

I think that's a valid gripe.

Paid for a subscription to fileplanet.......not for AoC OB

Anyone who was a Fileplanet subscriber already....did not pay anything...

It's beta: delays, crashes, and downtime should be expected.  The fact that everyone around the world will be trying to create characters at roughly the same time is an ideal testing condition.

Remember, it's not about your fun during this period-- it's about pushing the system so it can be fun fduring go live.  Therefore, please try to have some patience.

You're full of shit. If they didn't make people pay to get into it, then I might agree; however, they did make people pay, so they better fucking have stable damn servers.

 

Once again..no one made you pay...the OB was free to all Fileplanet sub's and if you wanted to play it sooooooooo baaaaad then the option was there for you to sign up in order to get a chance....

Whats wrong with all these spoilt brats.....^^

Here is a prime example of somebody who is not fit to beta test anything. And doesn't know what he's paying for and to who either. Way to go ;)

As a software developer for 15+ years,... that's just not possible in software development, or anything in life actually :)... but especially for software...

However, waiting till the very last second does surprise me.... it amazes me that MMORPG companies haven't figured out how much more forgiving their potential customer base would be if they would simply communicate more....

At the very first hint that something might be wrong, if they had posted something communicating that there might be delay... people would be way more forgiving.

From a PR standpoint... it would of been better to bring the servers up for 3 hours, and then do the patch.

I'm sure most of funcom was up all night, and many haven't slept in days.... Can you imagine, 5 years of work finally being released, with hopes it COULD make you the next blizzard?

As a developer who's worked on a single project for a about 1.5 years, and then preparing for release.... there's always some last minute things that pop up, when you could swear you've tested all that 10 times before.... software is strange like that.

Here's to hoping Funcom finds some success with AoC! Good luck!

Now i guess i should write some code or something... or put in some bugs, so I can get a raise for finding and fixing bugs so fast.... shhhhhhh

 The reasoning Oriphus, is that its not assumed that people have been a subscriber to Fileplanet for very long...they bought the sub in order to play the game.  While I completely understand your logic, people still have to realize that this is not a launch here.  It's beta, and its for Funcom to get ready.  This is upsetting because many people "paid" in a way to test Funcoms servers out.
