You people complaining about paying for a FREE game are idiots, you want priority - yet you don't want the game going P2W.So don't cry when the game has a billion cash shop items please.

You may experience a short queue while starting Neverwinter. This is because we are close to capacity as Neverwinter fans rush to log in and begin their adventure. However, NeverwinterHeroes of the North will jump to the front of the queue as part of their exclusive. Thanks for your patience!

stop being a <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>, everybody. they're doing their best. they're certainly not doing it to enrage you.
I find it quite hilarious that most of you are raging so hard. Being a founder of any sort does not technically entitle you to priority login. If you paid 200 I can see that but if you paid 60.. Congratz you bought a new game so you should probably stop whining and actually do some reading on launch histories. You will find that every game other than rift has a pretty hardsh launch some worse than otbers.
All I have to say is what possessed them to only launch with 3 servers available ? Gotta love common sense!

To the Guardians who are not upset, that's great and dandy for you. The rest of us, meanwhile, are and have a right to be angry. A lot of us paid for this game before we even knew what it would be like! We paid for it on good faith, as paying for it is what gave us access to beta in the first place. I understand server crashes and rough starts, but to not be able to log in because the servers are flooded? Ridiculous.
Was anyone around for the first stress test in beta and how it failed? How big is the fan base for Neverwinter Nights and D&D? The fact that so many people DID pay for a game they hadn't even had a chance to play is a good indicator of what can be expected for overall player base. So, yeah, when I logged into The Old Republic at launch and sat in a queue, I mean, position 87 seems daunting but 10 minutes was okay. To log in to this game and sit in queue 5000+... there's a point where "it's launch, calm down" is not an excuse.
And no, we did not pay for VIP access if you want to be technical about it. But now we're saying, "Okay clearly you didn't think this through well enough and should remedy this problem." More servers, priority queue, whatever it takes. And to whoever said something about "throwing out more money next time", are you kidding? Paying any money for a game that is free is a leap. $60 is the standard amount for any game, $200 for a lifetime access to a pay to play. So saying, "oh lolz next time pay more" is just unbelievable. We paid to support them, and that's more than most people did.
so I was entering the beholder server and was 2323 in the queue and then it jumped to 34,529th in line ...... WTF then I look after getting a drink and im now 6277th in line like really not even turbine is this bad

Sorry, queuing is a capacity issue, and from the looks of it a planned one. One designed to make some pay $200.
Yes, paying $60 for a free game should give us this benefit just the same as people that paid more. This seems a bit unfair to pay for a game that we have no more right to play than the people that haven't even logged once.
I don't know about the same access as zeroes of the north but I think we should get right in after them followed by the people who flung 20 bucks at cryptic... then the freeloaders.

This is some funny stuff..I love watching a new MMO come out and see how they handle the stress. I'm being patent about the Q..but come on..get it into high gear already. You folks knew this game was going to be a big deal, I understand your working on it. Just should have seen the train..before it ran you over. I have been in Q for one hour, might go find some thing else to do.
After wating for 1 hour i finally can log in. I am a llitle boter but they call it beta fir one reason.

So I'm sitting here for 3 hours, waiting in the queue, when I realize, that I want to switch characters. Now what?

uhm.... I hope the Guardian Founders will be included after the Hero's of the North, it is only fair because if I had known there would be favorites in the founder pkgs I would have gone Hero's of the North. Really not fair to put the Guardians with the freebie players in my opinion.

You're the type of person who wants this game to be p2w, sorry us 'freeloaders' didn't throw money at a FREE TO PLAY GAME.

No there is a Queue because There Slowed down the Logins to take Pressure from the Server, without the Queue the Server would be lagging again or worst crash. I know this from my Time in Eve Online, every new Addon ther Throttled the Server to Reduce the load

I heard the ultimate plan was to merge the 3 servers. How on earth are you going to do that when we have to wait in a queue just to get in one of them?

Wow. I did a prebuy at Guardian level, and couldn't access the last two betas. My post got no response to help me. Now it's time to do another beta, and am 27111 in line. Huge case of buyer's remorse right here.
My eyes are small but they have seen the beauty of enormous things.

Meh... I'm sorry I -did- throw money at it at this point so don't feel too fussed. For all my scathing words you freeloaders are the only intelligent ones here it's starting to look like. You didn't get duped.
If this game becomes p2w, I will seriously drop this mess. I didn't shell out cash, but it's going to be a horrible mess especially for those who did on top of needing to buy EXP and 100% success rate craft BS.

I am also Guardian--and agree that we should have also had some priority. Lets face it--who do they think will spend money in the game?
1. Founders, who paid just to start a few days early?, or
2. Freebies, who can't or won't spend money on the game?
Their marketing department is as bad as their developers!

that's why they gave you 3 days early playtime for your $60
I'm in queue, but I'm not going to make any complaints if I don't get in tonight
