im pissed. i also want to play. its not like i am really going to cancel my order, so Ill just bend over and grab my ankles.

what disturbs this casual gamer is them waiting for the last possible minute to inform the die hard fans. I think they knew their situation prior to 1PM EST. that pisses me off-

blah- strike one - no clue how many strikes it will take funcom to be out, but this is strike one.

chips, dips chains & whips.

If you are only on strike one, then you likely already have bruised ankles.

"As you think, so shall you become"

  Yes not saying anything about a delay while you have a rabid 100,000 players sitting at their computer desk, UNTIL the scheduled opening is pretty lame, but what can you do FUNCOM owns you. The message stating why they are delaying it gives no reason why it was delayed.

   They probably went out last night to celebrate, spending all the Early Access money on booze,cocaine, and whores. Let em live alittle lol...

I wish my grass was emo so it would cut itself.

funcom is on at least strike 2 for me, with that whole we r sold out of a virtual good, even though you have a physical piece of paper that says right on it "this key gives certain benefits such as in game items, and early access." 

 

Funcom's developers im sure are all amazing, but whoever has been in charge for the past few days has messed up pretty bad

How can you soar with eagles, when you work with turkeys.

OP, keep calm.  No one is getting raped.  This happens with the launch of all MMO's.

Even the almighty WoW had big login issues at the start.  Expect more issues when you get in the game cos I bet the servers won't be stable 24/7 for the next week or so.

Yeah it sucks. you'd think they had all this time to be ready. But you know, launching an mmo isn' t exactly the easiest thing to accomplish technically. If the extra time they take fixes problems and creates stable servers, that's much better than crashing for three hours.

People will forgive them if the product is good when it launches. If it's bad, well they better fix it fast or it'll be vanguard all over again.

 

I'm not expecting perfection, but I hope to be able to enjoy a good portion of the game today.

how can there be more than strike one? the game hasnt gone official, live yet. unless of course you had some registration, pre-order problems with funcom.

to me this is strike one. a failed promise.

so early access is not 3 days, its 2.5days.

chips, dips chains & whips.

Honor; from birth till death, maintain.

lol

it is anoying having to wait but I really dont mined, it is after all a game not going to pull out my hair over it. The servers will be up as soon as they get them up then you will play and either love it or hate it.

I agree it would have been nice to have a bit more warning but hay going live aint easy; do I think less of Funcom cuz they got them selves an issue and had to push live back a few hours? nope. It happends

I work in software dev (not game) but none the less I understand that some times happends. I'll judge the game when I get in; if its fun I'll keep playing other wise I'll log into DAoC and keep waiting for somthing better.

While(thought != cool)

Thats what I call uptight.

 

Strike 1? In a day people won't even give a crap it was delayed for 3 simple hours.
