There's really nothing a game company can do, though. There's no way they can field enough resources to handle the people who try it for a week, and then survive when the population drops to 1/10th as much the next week. It's just not feasible.
I hold the WoW metric, where the servers were absolutely borked for a month and loot scoot made looting next to impossible. Beat that, and hey! Good job.

Why are you purposely blocking us untill the server load lowers ? Answer me this question and I'm fine .
Are you seriously asking this question? No one's "purposely blocking" you from anything. They ran into some technical difficulties, and they're sorting it out. Pointing fingers and accusing them of intentionally HAMSTER their own launch is juvenile.
It happened immediately after open beta started. It's Neverwinter that caused it.

lol it sux we cant play, but still this wait is nothing so far. I remember waiting 10 hours or more to play wow expansions bcause of login crashes. Prity sure this wont be that long, and the game is up there are people in game, patience is a vertu, we waited this long to play whats afew hours compared to weeks.
Way to block the non paying users from playing the game .
Kinda badly handled situation we have here, they obviously didnt expect so many players and i doubt they have financial problems to keep some extra servers open.
People I even paid for my account and still can not get in so they are not blocking anyone on purpose. chill and give them a bit

I believe I am seeing the same white launcher that you guys are seeing. From what I've looked at the neverwinter launcher is either incompatible with the display devices inherent in windows 7 and 8 or that it having issues with the display from google chrome or both. I was able to turn off the rounded corners and things like that from windows 7 and am able to login but cannot display the button to start up the game. I dunno if this helps anyone but I was at least able to get rid of the blank white screen by dumbing down my display settings.
I'm not sure if it means anything but the symbol "$" in the launcher's code seems to be broken as well.
:mad:
too bad...when the count down was going and those who pay were on it was working.....sad to say...but this could cost the game some people that want to see the game before they start forking out any money into it...go away... like myself I would like to see its worth before dropping any money into it

I thought purchasing the Hero of the North pack is supposed to get you logged in before most? Are there people able to log on now or is EVERYBODY blocked???? If everybody was/is blocked then that's fine but if people are able to get in, It should be the people that helped the devs pay for it first.
....Now let the hate come...
Good news for us: Everyone can play now.
Bad news for us: Everyone hit login at the same time and broke it.
Good news for Cryptic: Your game is so popular we broke the login trying to get in.
Bad news for Cryptic: We're going to flame with hate cause we broke the login and can't play cause we broke it.
Some things just never change huh? Lol. Wanna ask all the complainers out there something, "Would you like a bib and cheese to go with that whine?"
"Lets see what this button does..."

I wonder how much bandwidth they allocated for people downloading the clients direct from their servers and how many new logins they anticipated for the Open Beta. It was like... as the timer hit 1 minute left, everything just slowed down....
We're still on it. We'll have a solution implemented really soon. The cause was because many excited fans couldn't wait to log in and play Neverwinter.
Whip the kobolds harder till they start running their little treadmills more and get the launchers working again!

it's the login servers that are over capacity, they use the same login servers for all Cryptic's games
