This. Especially after reading : "We are continuing to limit the number of logins following the emergency maintenance on Aug. 25, 2013 from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. We will continue to control the number of logins to prepare for the upcoming user influx that we expect during peak hours. If you are currently unable to login, please try again at a later time."

It's like instead of fixing it or making it so more people can login, they are just going to limit(control) it to a certain number and that's that.

Bullshit they are limiting it to begin with. If they can't handle pre-order weekend we are all fucked when it's "live". Wish they would at least enable the queue though so we dont have to sit here constantly clicking, trying to get in.

Is it just Gilgamesh? Has anyone had success getting in on another server?

So randomly (every 10 clicks or so), you get a queue, but that only lasts about a minute than you get another 'World is full' error. I don't think their queue system works at all. That 'number in queue' must be some random number that gets to populate the dialog box.

At this point, this is a second launch for a game that has failed it's first launch. After fucking up, they personally gave themselves TWO YEARS to get ready for this day. TWO YEARS. Most Funcom games, which are less fucked up than this game on launch day are pretty much functional 6 months after release. Even Cryptic can manage to fix a lot of their server/gameplay/UI problems a year after launch. This game should have been nearly fucking perfect with the amount of time they've had and the resources put into it. (SE poured a ton of money into this game's second launch and had several top developers pulled from other SE projects to handle this.)

I just got booted out of a 200 person queue to get the "World full" message. What the seriousfuck.

I made it all the way to 37! Then it refreshed the queue numbers and gave me this lovely message. I think I'd take the <InsertWOWGIFimageOf9HourQue> over this hot mess. At least I'd know where I stand.

I'm in, showed a 238 queue on loading screen, went away for a minute and got me in. Their queue window is BS I think.

This is the first time I've gotten on my char on Coeurl since servers came up this morning. I did manage to make it past the first instanced class cutscene at least, and I must say Yda seems to be hiding quite a package under her hotpants.

I got in on Exodus doing the start , rinse , repeat thing, had a small queue.

I can tell they are limiting load , the areas are crowded still , but not jam packed like before today , also instancing working for me now.

FYI Sasmero <Independent Culinarian> in Old Gridania X:14 Y:8 sells servings of Lentils & Chestnuts for 34 gil. Needed for Terror at Fallgourd level 27 main story quest. I assume all of the capital cities likely sell it in their bazaar.

It would appear they found the population that the instance server starts having problems.

I'm going to have to guess that they only have a queue that supports 200 or so people and then they decide to randomly drop people once there's an overflow. Might work for certain packet networks, but it's horrible strategy for a user queue. Either that or random numbers in lieu of an actual world is full message.

They didnt fail the first launch. They failed at making a game. The resources they poured into the second game did a solid job in my opinion. The problem is they went from having no one play the pile of shit that was the first launch on hardware that I assume is leftover from FFXI and didn't have any contingency or expectation of THIS happening.

Which was a failure of their beta schedule and how they shoehorned in Duty Finder at the last minute.

By sheer fact that NA and EU share the same datacenter we can interpret that they didn't expect the population numbers from those areas to be so high. Would have made more sense to split their instance server than share resources.
