It's a Beta. That means stress testing. Today the login servers get stress tested. Now Cryptic has an idea of what can be handled, and what can't. Going forward they will be able to make positive changes. That being said, I would think that most companies should know what to expect in terms of player volume if they are tracking their data correctly and be able to make any needed changes or even a cutoff point somewhere so that they can get some actual gameplay testing done.

It's great the the open beta is live and all and it seems they have finally started fixing some lag issues. But I try to log in now and I start at over 8000 in line. This then moves me to over 27k...my thing is, that better be 27k founders ahead of me in line!

I will say this...they must have done one fantastic job with this game. I played WoW from it's inception and the line was never this long. That means a lot of people are digging this game which means when they get things rolling(which is exactly what a beta is for!) this game should have a very good group of players which will help the economy of the auction house and you'll never wait long to do a dungeon! Gotta cut Cryptic some slack though...it is after all a beta "test". They havn't had the doors open this wide yet...now they have to figure out how to create stability. I see more servers in the future...many more...maybe. But if whiners keep quitting because they aren't getting their way right this instant, more servers won't be needed. See either way, problem solved!

is the game even any good? sitting in queue at 5k+ ahead of me. The character creating stats thing was a joke. they couldn't think of anything better then a random number generator that you just keep clicking until you get the stats you want / you'll settle for because its ****ing random.

oh boy. yeah I was at around 5k, then got thrown back up to 27kish...Might have to go play something else...sad. I really wanted to work on the mage...maybe a rogue. Back to the drawing board I suppose.
Relax people! It's a beta, not the final product!
Since it's just opened lots of people are trying to play, that's why you are in a queue, not because the staff doesn't care or w/e.

Yeah, I think that crazy high 20k+ thing you see while you're waiting is indeed a bug because I've been slowly inching down from 8k and am now sitting at around 3k. This is nothing new really for an open beta...takes some time. Doesn't make it much less frustrating but...sigh...but yes, I do think it's worth it. So far, loving this game.

i have no idea. i would just check your firewall, anti-virus or w/e else is on your computer to make sure its not interring. maybe even running as administrator, the solutions are endless but always the same lol. good luck

I played earlier today for hours and had no problem logging into account server ,my only complaint was rubber banding with the worse lag time. I exited the game to give time to fix the lag and now hours later I cannot log back into my account server. "unable to log into account server" message. Please respond I am a founder and want to play tonight. Is this just because so many people are logging in?
Yeah good one, this stupid game doesn't even work? No wonder it's free? Launch the patcher and it just goes to an error every time.
Great job making a game that you can't even play. I can't even post a thread telling people not to bother downloading this piece of garbage.
