According to steam there’s less than 35k players online, why is there a queue this long? It’s taken me about 10 minutes to go from 1640 down to 1571. At that rate it will take 237 minutes ( almost 4 hours ) to get in. I had to work at 6 am, 4 hours before the server release ( which was delayed ). Now I finally get back home to find I have to wait 4 more hours before I can even play?
I’m not trying to beat a dead horse but this is painful, I paid the $50 for a game that I can’t even get into for the first 16 hours. Some 9 hours of it were my responsibilities, but if not for the server delays I could have done what everyone else is doing and be online right as I get home. I’m referring to the many people afking on the server, which my group has told me about since I’m stuck here waiting.
I’m ranting out of frustration, because of how this situation played out. I’m sure IMC knew up until the last half day before release exactly how many people had purchased the game. The server peaked at 34k players when over 170k players had purchased the game. That means the server can only handle 1/4th of us who paid, which for launch date is very lack luster. In the industry you always need the most space on launches and large event dates. Again, I’m just really frustrated about all this. About how I can only sit here on the forums, reading and watching others stream, waiting for this paid early access to be available to me.
