Are you kidding me NCsoft?
4th day of official release and I still can't join the game without hours of queues. Today I can't even join the game, it blocks players from joining, you can't access the servers anymore....the hell...............
They can't even reply to us or my post on the official forums since they don't know how to access the forums. Apparently NCsoft lost access to their own forums. People want a solution or refunds, 60 euros for a game you can't even play and you don't even respond????

Wow, lol! You shouldn't be allowed to legally sell a game that you have to wait to play, if you get to play at all.
"This is a breach of UK Law" LOL!
I just love it how I and many other were flamed on this forum for saying that this would happen months before the relase, and now the mmorpg.com new thread ticker on front page is nothing but complaints about Aion. Wait few more weeks untill people actualy play it for some good ammount of time and realize that they bought a Korean free to play game and paid a sub for it

I'm so glad I cancelled my preorder months ago.
Games nothing like a Korean f2p and yes im over level 30.
wow was like this aswell when it launched, by next week the queues should be gone because all the little bitches will be back playing wow.
True story.
The same thing will most likely happen like it did after wow's release: we get some extra playtime added to our accounts.
The sad thing is, something as small as this will probably be enough to stunt Aion's potential growth in half. A perfect example of the fact that if an MMO doesn't launch with absolutely NO FLAWS, WHATSOEVER, it'll have little chance of gaining subs over half a million. It doesn't matter if this was the most polished game to release after WoW became a tyrant; because of something like this, for giving someone something to complain about, it'll be torn to the ground. I'm sure this will be 10x more common knowledge to non-Aion players than any other positive features of the launch. People ask why WoW is the only "massive" multiplayer online game; it's because that's exactly what the communities want with such a judgemental mindset.
Yet, it's too soon to give judgement. After the next couple months, the damage done by the deteriorating quality of MMO players will be evident, whether it was devastating for it's growth or not. Heck, beyond this, Aion is probably the most polished game with the smoothest launch to come out since LOTRO. Perhaps they can overcome this and keep a slowly growing community, rather than one that slowly vanishes with nothing left but a spec of potential customers due to shill marketing. But seeing as how everyone is already crying for refunds for one days worth of no play time, it could be a clear sign that something this stupid will be enough for the players to say "this game isn't for me".
ya that server has a lineup did you try all server i haqve very strong doubt ,ncsoft make sure theres always at least one server with room true it mightnot be the server of your choosing tho
It's a really bad situation during peak time. All I can assume is that NCsoft have a business plan for the game and that means rigidly sticking to a small number of servers at launch.

There is not one server you can log on to. I checked an hour ago. Out of 13 EU Server it was only possible to connect to the queue of three servers. All other servers had so many people that you couldnt even get into the queue. The smallest queue of these three servers was 1400 people.
The new germany server is completely full as well already.
Not shure how NCSoft will get Aion to be #2 after WoW if they can't even handle close to 400.000 players.
Taking the money of 400k preorders and not willing to provide enough slots, but rather wait for players (which were good enough to pay in first place) to competely quit Aion to solve the capacity problems.
But the game is good though right?
So I guess the game just came out for UK?
US servers were queued like hell at first to, given a week or two NC will keep increasing the server cap, perhaps make a new server, and the queue will be a lot more reasonable.
First few days of US release had like 5 hour queues, now they are down to 15 min's at most, but majority of them don't even have a queue.
sure is, thats why people are complaining they can't get in
I'd have thought that unless they can sort out server queues you'd see a large drop in the numbers playing now at launch after a month or two.
Watch this:
Aion - All Servers Full
Yeh that video sums it up. NCsoft have made themselves look like greedy useless twats. They need to do something or at least publicise what is getting done about this...
When the game first launched in NA, the queues were bad at peak times. But, now at peak times I haven't had to wait over 15-20 minutes to get on. They did state that they were in the process of getting more servers online. Have a little patience or cry moar plz.
NA's launch has gone fine, you have loads of servers. in the UK you cant even join a queue, if you do its 2 hours minimum... Its easy to say be patient if you have no issues... Everyone in the EU paid their money same as you.

NA had the same problem when it went live to the public >.>
It went down after a few days.

We were full for like, two days. And then it went down to under 10 minutes or no queue on all but the very most populated servers. The two servers I play on now have absolutely no queue.
Chill.

UK doesn't have any less servers than NA.
