20k queue? Ridiculous. And there is no way they will add new servers. They are basically pressuring people to buy their $200 HOtN pack. The MMO industry has officially sunk to a new low. I have never seen a company intentionally create queues in order to sell a service that will simply allow you to play the game.

Rock on... another tired dead horse thread like this.
INB4LOCK.
It's insane.
- Titania Silverblade, the Iron Rose of Myth Drannor (Lvl 60 GWF, Destroyer)
- Gwyneth, the Cowardly Cat Burglar Drowling (Lvl 60 TR, Saboteur)
- Lady Rowanne Firehair, Heartwarder of Sune (Lvl 33 DC)
- Satella, Sensate (LvL 44 CW, Renegade, Non-Active)

OB is just PWE's excuse to make money with no responsibility to fix anything.

I wonder how much bloody pulp it will take before something is done? And I wont give it up. People that "give it up" are the problem. You would let Cryptic (and im guessing most ppl or companies) ram it up your backside while you smile and remain silent LOL. Thats you, not me.
Whoa! Don't get your mips in an uproar!!! It's still Beta.
It's more believable that they will leave it as is and sell you on the up-sell of a founders pack or something similar
<sarcasm>Yes, clearly. They're generating tons of bad press, and bad feelings among a large number of their potential players, in the hope that a few of them will spend $200.</sarcasm>
...
No.
If you really find that "more believable" (and have missed the announcements that there's plenty of space on servers, the queues are a bug, and the maintenance is an attempt to fix it), then I've got a bridge to sell you. It leads to some nice waterfront property in the Florida swamps.
I have a theory - the younger generations (I'm an old fogey) grew up with constant stimulation from hand held gaming devices, telephones, computers, tablets... and therein you can, for the most part, receive instant gratification.
I remember writing letters, licking an envelope and putting it in the mail and waiting WEEKS for the next gaming move. No kidding. We played by snailmail.
In the early days of MMO you queued up, and went to eat/take a shower/clean the house etc. Cause it took time.
So I think you hit the nail on the head Sadasha. Everyone expects everything instantly and has no capacity to be patient any more.
Worst Pay to win model i've seen in my life.
What a disgusting way to create a game, greedy developers who won't be remembered for anything notable.
Try making a game for enjoyment than money.
I'm out
I'm sure that they'll come up with a solution soon.

you sir, have one of the most epic names I have seen yet. lol
Call it what you want this is a launch and a bad one at that, all those investing up to
Though it's annoying for now, when one looks at it from a long-term point of view, the current queue issues are a positive sign regarding player interest for the game, suggesting it may capture an even larger audience than they had anticipated. The consolation prize for players that can't get in easily at the moment is the game may be quite successful, leading to more overall game play over time once game access and player population fall more into line.
Well, instead of "giving up", you could look at the stickies at the top of the forum, and see that there's maintenance to address this exact issue in about 20 minutes. Fast enough for you?
I guess you did not read the patch notes. Do you honestly believe that this company will not fix anything so they can make money or are you just blowing off some steam? The later is understandable, the first is just wrong. Also writing about things you know not to be true is trolling for a response.
Can you please provide the evidence to support your claim. This IS a Open Beta.
Actually, I know exactly what PWE are like. They screwed over BLR last year, and that's a wasteland of a game now. PWE will fix things. Eventually. Like, months down the line. We'll have these shards for... Maybe a month? Then we'll get 3 more on the other side of the US, then maybe Europe and Oceania, though I doubt it. PWE only seem to care about US players. Ever done a survey for zen? No? PWE owe me over 35k Zen for my surveys in BLR which are "bugged" because I'm not in the US.

If you read they are expanding the number of players servers can hold and are fixing a queue bug both should make the game have less queueing after the Down time.
This would not hold true, if they weren't allowing you to purchase Zen, or use your packs. Or in the case they were honest and basically said, We are out of money, and we need to launch now to get capital into the game to continue. At least those who were willing to plop 200$ or 60$ would know before hand.
Three shards is unacceptable. Why? All these free players started last night, are they going to change to a new server and start over? Nope. Will they take the risk that server will be a barren wasteland by the end of the month? Nope. I've seen too many MMO/Multiplayer game launches, and they all make the same mistakes.
Yes, because people who were unwilling to buy the HotN Pack in order to get BW access and headstart will now suddenly be willing to lay out $200 to jump ahead in the queue. If you are going to accuse them of shady business practices at least try to come up with something that makes any sense at all.
Occam's Razor in this context means there is no reason to come up with an elaborate conspiracy theory when a simpler explanation exists.
Somebody didn't plan adequately for the opening rush because PWE was pressuring them to release sooner rather than later. At the least this is a more likely explanation.
All die, so die well.
