Just when you think it could not get worse the servers crash before anyone gets in to play--cryptic earns the EPIC FAIL of the year award.

    You must be the one who caused it. You log in, the rest of the world suddenly can't enter the game. ROFL.

    Current status says the server is down.  It's not uncommon for launches to be bumpy.

     Main website is down, and I can't log in. I get an "unable to authenticate" error.

    Its at least Champions Online + a Space Combat Simulator.

    If they added instances with 200 or more player, entering other players ships and added lots of Items and skills i'd give it two thumbs up.

    Seriously.. what are you talking about?  Not only is what you're saying not even true.. even if it was, how is that "epic fail" of the year award? 

    You sound like an idiot.



     

    Nobody is in playing the server is down the forums are down and in my book that is a pretty piss poor showing. So for my epic fail of the year award it goes to cryptic

    I was logged on, then decided to log off to recreate my character, bad idea.  I believe their account server went boom.  That is why you cant authenticate and why there are still players online playing.  And jeez it didnt take long for the annoying whiners to start posting, pathetic.

    Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

     I have the same.  The servers must have blown up shortly after 10am PST.  You could tell from beta that they were not going to be ready.  Oh well.

    ever known a laucnh or head start to go 100% smooth?

     

    if you really stressed over this, maybe you should turn off your computer and go outside and get some fresh air

    Yep, it's a bit daft, but i think people have been waiting all day to log-in and when the time comes it goes pop.

    People have paid to be playing right now, can't really blame them fro being annoyed.

    Expresso gave me a Hearthstone beta key.....I'm so happy :)

    Theres plenty of people playing, login server might be down, but game server is not.

    Except it has happened with pretty much every MMO to launch, even the beloved WoW.  Yes I was there I remember the server crashes and the almost free extra month of play time because of downtime.  You would think people would have learned to chill, I didnt realistically expect to actually get much playing done till this evening or late night anyways.

    It's the login server -- people are getting authentication errors.

    Yup, got into the tutorial, crashed and now can't authenticate. Like no one saw this coming. I anticipate about 6 hours of emergency maintenance today, and tomorrow and every day of the head start.

    I got booted while I was playing. From what I'm reading lots of other people did as well, so it's not just an issue with the login server.

    Apparently the server is up and running, it's the account authentification and/or log-in thats fubar.

    I guess it's a good thing I am stuck at work for the next seven hours. Should be fine by then. I hope.... :)
