[mod edit] It's a small minority of people who complain on forums compared to those just chillin' and playing when they can play.
Yes, there have been a few issues, but nothing that should be overexaggerated as the "worst launch in MMO history." Some games were unplayable for weeks until they sorted things out. Most people are in and having an awesome time with very few problems.
The queues are an issue they hopefully work out soon, but I'd rather a queue to the game being down entirely with no chance to play at all.
This isn't the worst launch ever; this is the worst launch you're experiencing RIGHT NOW. And from the title of this thread, I have a feeling you're quite new to MMO launches.
Its not the worst but its not the best either.
Most poorly executed launch in mmo history.
lol nah dude...not even close.
lie, not even close to call MOST. but if you just wake up gaming then maybe yes for you.
To quote kurtz from apocalypse now, "The horror.....the horror..."
Anarchy Online launch was chaos! Funcom managed to turn it around though. They did the same wiith AoC. Hopefully secret World will have a smooth launch.
What a crock!!
Your telling me you haven't been able to login? BS.
I've been in the EA since the first wave of invites and the most I've ever had to wait has been 5 mins, yes I can see other servers have had longer but even with guild friends logging in later than me the most they have waiting has been 25 mins.
This has been one of the smoothest launches I've ever encountered, I'm just fed up with the amount of ppl talking out of their arse.
I think its funny that because they call it 'early access' these developers think they can get away with launching their game with 75% of the playerbase not being able to even log in.
Really? That is OK now? This sort of thing is not OK, I don't care what the devs call it. This is a bad launch. "Early Access" is just code for "we didnt prepare enough and the game is not ready to launch so you cant log in".

Most poorly executed launch in MMO history... that doesn't sound exaggerated at all...nope.
How many servers SWTOR will launch with on release?
ShredderSE - Umm how many do they need? Maybe 6.
US, EU, Asian, France, German and Russian.
Subs will be so low there is no need for more
Snoocky-How many servers?
The first 3 months a lot...after that 2 i guess, one for PVE and 1 for PVP...
Thorbrand - SWTOR doesn't have longevity at all. Might be one of the shortest lived MMOs.
This game was boring overall for me. Quests were okay. Gameplay was suprisingly decent. But it just didn't hold my attention and the graphics are less than expected. As far as the launch I didn't think it was bad at all. I didn't see ANY issues to be honest. Wait time was like 5 mins at the most for me. And that only happened once. Hopefully it does well for at least the next 2 years. I really don't see it lasting that long. Or maybe I'm just saying that because I don't have any intention of playing past the BETAs unless they have a free trial when it gets a few months age on it.
Getting too old for this $&17!
Worst? Earthrise IMO.

Hellgate: London still firmly holds the title, far as I'm concerned.
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
Can't beat the king still... Anarchy online.

Yes these horrible devs, these androids who are supposed be perfect! How dare they act like human beings and make mistakes! Who do they think they are?!?!?
This was a very smooth launch for me. I got in to my server the first day of launch and played until I had to go to sleep. The next day I logged on and it was only 5 minutes to wait. friday night was 45 minutes but I do not care since I forgot to log in early.
ToR launch was for me smooth and very cool. No crashes, no insane waitingtime, quests that work, character creation that worked.
And yes....I do remember Anarchy Online the first weeks when we could not even enter Omni-1 or Hellgate London or perhaps RIFT with insane waitingtime, or perhaps WAR that game didnt get fixed until 6 months later.......
No I say that ToR was by far the best start of a megagame I have experienced the last 12 years.
Keep it up
OP: Is this the first MMO you've played? SWTOR is having a stable and amazingly fun launch - there are guaranteed to be queues on some servers. Ther are non-full servers still, and more to come.
BTW, when WoW launched it was down for 3 days, and they only had 6 us servers which had 1hr queues all day when the servers were live. At least in SWTOR there are only queues during primetime & weekends.
I've never seen a game draw so many tears. Can't even read the official forums, sounds like a nursery.
WoW. And every major since WoW. This is a regularly repeating phenomena.
The whining seems to increase logarithmically with population.

this thread is crazy its been 1 of the smoothist launches I ever been apart of. Sure not everyone got day 1 access but the staggering has made the game much more playable. Overall I think its been a great launch and I am loving the game.
Nah, Darkfall was even worse and few people even tried it, they were just posting about it anyways. The forum was so full of it for 6 months that few good threads were made back then.
And the WAR Vs AoC flame war wasn't much better.
Still, it is pretty bad now as well.
You do say its time to stop beeing a stupid fanboy and i do agree with that but beeing an as stubig hater doesnt help either.
Help hmmm help with what actually you say they should have known how many ppls will log in and should have been able to provided enough servers...well you are right no question but what makes you think they didnt?
I did state in on another similiar (stupid) threat already not all servers are full Fryday 9pm est there were a lot of full servers but also lots of heave/very heavy and even some standard servers all of them without a queue!
So its not like they dont have enough servers its just that ppls seem to be drawn to the full ones (maybe they believe the game is better there or why else would it have more ppls in it that a standard server....)
Now what should they have done open more server even tho there were still enough servers with room?? Wouldnt make sense right?So what else could they have done lock the full servers and force the players who got in later (last 2 waves or so) to go to the lesser populated ones??? Naaa would only have lead to massive whining as well...
So you might see beeing a stupid hater isnt a good thing either the headstart so far was done very good and ppls claiming otherwise just didnt think it through!!
Now the real deal will be the 20th and after the Holidays we will have to see how well they can handle it than. So far all is perfect but when you know exactly how many ppls come and you can let them in in waves that has to be expected i only hope they will manage it good and if i really will have to wait in a queue well than thats just how it always is when a new MMo launches if you cant handle that well just dont log in before next year.
They should not be perfect, but they should not be decieving their playerbase with lies and excuses about 'early access'. They should just come out and say 'we can't let you play because the servers arent ready'. The truth will set you free; people understand.

They've been pretty straightforward about it since the beginning. If you pre-order you get into the game early on a first come first serve basis. The launch would be staggered to spread the stress on the servers out. They've been saying this since July.
What part of that didn't you understand?

They also said 5 days and changed it to 7? So what?
Servers are stressed anyway, just not on 1st days but on 3rd. No actual gain there.

Get some sleep. To place that much value on a games release, putting your health at risk, all in the name of desired names in a game that will be there later.
You need to get out more. Better do it now before your muscles develop atrophy and you die from heart failure drinking too many energy drinks.
