This is the post where all of us come to cry? 1 hour waiting and when got near, a crash to login screen, and in queue again. Queue at 4000+...ok, waiting, 1.75 hours later...position 90...crashed again to login, now? 8000+ position.
Conclusion. Diablo 3 gameplay is Auction House...Neverwinter gameplay is Queue
I heard this game was F2P, but seems you have to be HOTN to play (199$)

i'm quite surprised that no gaming media outlet has latched onto and reported this issue yet. they do when it hits any other game.

Best one yet, I was at 2k'ish, then BLAM! 176933!!! That's at 7am EST. First off I can't imagine there are 176k people playing this game after this terrible start.
Secondly, as a paying customer, some queue hoping may be in order. Or at least a post on what they plan to do to appease those of us who did pay for this. Worst release since SimCity...
Never seen a game with bigger que problems than this one wich dont seem to be fixed...i think il drop this game..

today i entered in game new that its live & what i see? Queue over 8000 WTF, it shod be like this if server can hold example max 100000 people then only 10000 people can create char in 1 that server not 108000 chars that what cause the problem that more people create chars in 1 server then server can handle & others need to W8, it not order but chaos, they need to make more servers instead allowing to create 2menay chars in 1 server!!! its not order its chaos!!! BDW that's how i wold do things so people tont need to W8 on Queue!!! well i'm not gonna W8, i'l play something else instead until its fixed somehow, & if some of u say it will never happen, then i say i will never play it!!!

they shod do server system like in cabal online, in here example like world 1 = Server 1
Server 2
Server3
Server 4
World 2 = Server 1
Server 2
Server3
Server 4
its just a example so i did not give names to example servers char that is in 1 world can go in meany servers, if 1 is full he can enter another server , cabal has 2 or 3 world's & 20+ servers in each world, it softens the problem until again 2meany players make char in 1 world
well I planned on checking out this game for a month while I wait for FFXIV ARR, but with all the login problems ill just go play something else. should have expected as much though considering how cheap most of perfect worlds games are

There's a convenient sticky located at the top of the general forum you should be looking at instead of making a silly thread.
Well... it IS still in "BETA" so I guess hiccups are to be expected... frustrating as all Hell though...
thats may be true, but i played in beta3 and it was running flawlessly for me, so recommended to all my freinds, some of who paid the $200. every patch since seems to have broken the game more.
my only issue with this whole mess is that all 3 founders packs should provide vip access.
unlike other f2p games with queues there is no subscription fee option at all here. no other way to get vip access outside of that 200 dollar package.
if perfect world/cryptic does not reverse themselves on this then a lot of their customers will want refunds. if the company balks at refunds they have to realize that paying for a service and not receiving said service is sufficient grounds to dispute a credit card charge.
Maybe they could've made some sort of graduated queue jump. Like, the bottom tier founder pack would get jumped to #1000 in queue, the middle tier founder pack gets jumped to #100 in queue... I dunno how the mechanics of that would work, how the system would know to bump a non-founder down the queue, etc...
As others have said, it was clearly stated in the founder pack descriptions that only the HotN pack would get VIP queue-jump. GoN get companions and mounts and items that HotN don't get. Should we all get on the forums and whine and kvetch about how PWE and Cryptic screwed us? "We paid over 3x as much as the GoN founders, and 10x as much as the NSK people! We should get everything the first two tiers got AND MORE, dangit!" See how silly that looked? Yeah, that's what all the queue-crying GoN and NSK posts look like.
PWE/Cryptic is NOT going to "reverse themselves", and complaining that you didn't get something that was never promised in the first place is not sufficient grounds for a refund. What, you became interested in a MMO and thought there WOULDN'T be queues at launch? What are you, new to online gaming? EVERY. SINGLE. FARKING. MMO in the last 10+ years has had queues. DDO, DAoC, WoW, Tera, SWTOR, SWG, etc. Suck it up, Princess. Or ragequit back to WoW.
Why didn't you look at the very first sticky topic? I was thinking the same thing and went looking for information (which gee was right at the top) before I posted anything. Now, if its not fixed after this update today I'll be right along side of you.
So, I didn't pay a jack cent to get into beta and play this game and I have to agree with the Founder group that they should all have priority over me in line. But I resent the comments I keep seeing from payers who insult and belittle the F2P crowd for enjoying a Free to Play game. I can only assume these same people tear up their money and toss it in the garbage before they play any other F2P game, or engage in any other free activities, because only someone whom has spent 60 odd bucks on their slice of entertainment is worth anything.
Those who spent money ahead of time deserve a reward for having faith in the game - yes. But the people who saved their money to buy the things they want piece by piece in the game have as much right to play the product as anyone; if they didn't, the company wouldn't have offered an open beta.
Contrary to popular belief, jumping to the front of the queue, does not mean you get to the front of the queue, if 10,000 people were all to have VIP queue jumping ability, but no room in game, then they'd still be made to wait..

Stickies are important threads usually made by forum moderators that have key information for players. Usually if there is a widespread problem you can find information regarding it by looking at the stickies. In your case, a thread title that has something to do with the queue would be best for you.
Maybe they could've made some sort of graduated queue jump. Like, the bottom tier founder pack would get jumped to #1000 in queue, the middle tier founder pack gets jumped to #100 in queue...

i'm sorry but even at the height of wow's popularity the game never had 3 hour queue's. at most it was 10 minutes.
the queue's alone aren't the only issue here. you can get passed the queue but run into an unplayable game due to server side lag. this is for all intents and purposes a service that you can not access, nor can you access the virtual goods you paid for becaus they are tied to that service.
regardless of what your opinion on that may be, it IS sufficient grounds for a claim to be made.
btw it's 4:20 am pst. i've been in the queue since 2:30am pst. any reasonable person would find this unreasonable.

Actually all your other posts are about putting down this game and naming another game as better. Go from here and never be seen again troll. Just check his history of posts.
"Never seen a game with bigger que* problems than this one wich* dont* seem to be fixed"
You must not have played very many MMOs on launch then.
except he's correct and you are blowing out of proportion the queue issues previous mmorpgs had. at no time on proudmoore from beta until cataclysm did i have a queue during prime time last more than 10 minutes. proudmoore was the 2nd most populated server and had no less than 4 free transfers before the paid transfer system was implemented during vanilla.
and that was 9 years ago. server tech has advanced quite a bit since then and costs have gone down, not up. for any mmorpg to launch with this issue 9 years after wow made news with it is inexcuseable. 10, 20 min queue? sure. 2 hours? unacceptable. 2 hours for people who paid in advance? absurd.
Regardless of that sticky... why is there a queue so early in the morning on all 3 servers? I've been in queue for 27 minutes now and that is just ridiculous for the time of day it is.

I'm in, and not seeing "unplayable game due to server side lag". Occasional rubber-banding (and only in Protector's Enclave) hardly makes the game "unplayable".
guardian at queue 97k, thanks, really glad i supported the devs now...

Unfortunately, you can never be sure on the Internet. There's as much ignorance as there is trolling.
