You guys have a lifetime subscription, just pick the game back up 2 years down the road when the population is about 20% of what it is now.

I mean that IS why you paid for it right???

    I have a better solution, cryptic should make lifetime sub's priority over all the other accounts.

    lol, it's only fair that the true dedicated investors play outside the queue position.

    You do not have to wait that long.

    Most people won't be picking up the retail boxes. As it's going to be worse from Tuesday on.

    So within 2-3 weeks, most peeps will be gone already and the overload issues will resolve itself.

    It was the same with CO. After 3 weeks or so, the "unexpected downtimes" already stopped.

    Forget whether or not lifetime subscribers should get to the head of the queue, we're forgetting about the bigger question.. Why is the game full, and why is there a 600-player queue in head start, when only a fraction of the player base is playing?

    Because player base is directly proportional to game quality, right?

    Logic fail.

    If WoW was released today, instead of 5 years ago, you can bet your TRIBBLE that they would offer a lifetime sub.

    WTF?

    My queue dev since i logged in 15 minutes ago:

    1358 of 1393
    (1 minute later)
    1257 of 1447
    (every 3-4 minutes)
    1256 of xxxx
    1255
    1254
    (NOW)
    1249 of 1681

    Why do you guys of Cryptic think i bought a lifetime version of this game?!
    To WAIT A LIFETIME, since i come to play?!?!?!

    (update)
    1249 of 1723

    No change for good ^^ since this post was made ...

    That's not how it works.

    If anything you'll end up last on the Queue cause they have your money and you can't do anything against it suckers lol. You aren't valuable anymore

    They'll concentrate on the people they STILL can get money out of but that were sensible enough to not think they'll play this for over 2 years...

    que is bullcrap.
    what happend to the new server hardware they promised they had on rush order? it was suposed to increase server capacity.. Rush order does not mean 2 weeks later still no upgrade, it means they get it in a few days.

    I was wondering how long it would take someone to use this asinine response.

    Because every game that offered a lifetime subscription (LOTRO, Hellgate, Champions, ST:O...I may have missed some) used that initial influx of cash to help pay off investors.

    Blizzard is already beyond that point.

    The lifetime subscription model didn't exist when WoW launched. They didn't have as many players as they do today, and their launch was marked with issues. A nice lump of initial cash would have helped them greatly, as it would in any MMO.

    well they did have to wait for all the life time subbers funds to clear first.
