    This is some BS I really think people who paid should all get in before the F2P people, Plus why would your servers suck so bad as to have a 41000 person Que

    I'm 36754th in queue =\

    EDIT: Okay, it dropped to 6000.

    Still not acceptable to sit in queue behind people who didn't pay up front.

    Edit: Doh! Back to 36k plus.

    Also in queue here at about 38000! lol

    I only heard about the game by chance, and I would like to try the game, hopefully the queue will be reduced at some point after the big rush to get into the "launch".

    1. Its a FTP game
    2. the 3 (count them again 3) servers that are up, are the same servers used during closed Beta and the Beta Weekends.
    3. Its a FP Game, meaning at LEAST 5000 of those 7000 in line are Gold-farmer bots trying to log in so they can spam their RMT websites (gods, if i knew a 'safe' way to contact them.. i'd pay Anonymus 1000$ to DNS attack the major RMT websites....)
    4. Apparently PW didn't realize that when you go into an 'open beta'... you need more than 3 servers.. no matter how much 'sharding' there is. Especially with a greatly anticipated, and large-following title Franchise such as Neverwinter.

    5. Im just happy i got the character name i wanted =) Though even i (who have been in countless beta's and launches for MMO's from back in the Shadowbane/Ultima/Earth and Beyond days... all threw Planetside 2 and Firefall) am flat shocked to see a multiple THOUSAND long line to get into a 'open' beta.... this is more a 'stress-test' for their login server than a beta for the game itself.

    The queue will randomly jump up, but that number is not an accurate reflection of your place in line.

    IMHO that is never a valid excuse. This game like any other is run by a business out to make money. It isn't the billing structure that is at issue, it is other aspects which you pointed out.

    ehh, you cant expect quality when the dev's dont even expect people to pay for it first.

    Thats what F2P means to a lot of people.

    Never use F2P as an excuse.

    You can use any name you want. The only unique identifier is your @tag.

    Wasnt saying it was a valid excuse. What i meant by that is that asside from Firefall, i have YET to see a F2P game actualy 'built up' to the standards that are almost required to run a beta.

    And by 'built up' I mean having a decent number of servers, KNOWING they were going to get slammed with thousands of logins, Have a way to handle those logins that doesn't include 9+ hours in a line. Having active GM's to kick/ban/exterminate Gold-farming spammers that WILL be in there (i'll put 100$ on the line right now, that anyone currently in the game at this vary moment is seeing them spam already and i doubt any of them are being kicked by Dev's).

    You know.. the 'normal' stuff most Subscription game's are built up to when they open their doors in a 'open beta' state.
