The game is pretty good, but it ain’t “waiting 2 hours to play every night” good…
I’ve restarted on 3 different “low pop” servers only to be met with a queue when I try to play a few days later.
I’m done. Maybe when everyone gets pissed off from sitting in some nonsense queue because you’re too inept to host games services as the world’s largest cloud computing company, I might come back. No wonder you didn’t opt for an MRC with the game, scam people out of the initial 40 and know they’re gonna quit because they can’t even play the MF’ing game…

Media Rate Conversion?
Mafia Ratio Contrast?
… What is a MRC?
Monthly Reoccurring Charge.
Back in the day, you would by the game, and then pay a monthly fee to play the game.
Its a new game and is far more popular than they expected. They have owned up to their mistake and are working on fixing it. Just try and relax.

Just asked for a refund in steam. There is no excuse when I am sitting at a que longer than I have to played the game. More than likely eating that cost because of the 2 hour rule on steam. Its a joke.

A new game, made by a company that literally has 70% of the market share for cloud computing and more money than god. Sorry, not taking any excuses today, they’ve already got my money.

Never been an issue on any MMO i have EVER played. EQ2 supported over 10k users per server and never once in 5 years of playing that game did i ever have to wait to play outside of updates.
This… all day… everyday.
Literally burns my insides up that people make excuses for this company knowing other game studios have done it with less hardware AND less capital.

naw… ill take a refund
Can I have your stuff? I don’t know what you’re complaining about, because I started on a new server back when they first opened newer servers and haven’t had a queue issue since.
AGS is OWNED by amazon. AGS is NOT! Amazon. Y’all need to figure that part out.
THey legit stated the amount of interest was far higher than they expected. They had a server for alpha, and only had around 200-500 playes semi active. Beta got a lot more traffic, but also had just as many returns/cancels as buys.
The game launched with way more attention than expected, especially when big streames, including asmongold, cried over it and degreaded it.
They have added a ton of servers already.
Amazon has all that cloud computing. Which they own many subsidaries. AGS is bottom of list.
Many other studios also charged out the ass for alpha access and crowd funding. Many had little to no starting capital and failed (ffxiv) until fixed years later.
WoW had a ton of issues where many could not play for months. FFXIV had many people unable to do anything for years until ARR. ffxi had a lot of issues as well.

understandable about AGS not being Amazon. But their making team have been hyping the game for years now. Not sure why they didn’t expect it to blow up as it did.
When you own something or someone, you put your name on it.

This man here confusing WoW Classic with WoW Vanilla. Vanilla did not have nightly, unending queues. WoW Classic, like NW, knew it had insane interest before launch and chose to botch it.
You can make all the excuses you want and they’ll be just that… excuses.
If you want to be the “new standard” in mmo’s, you don’t do it making your initial player waits hours in queues.
Nah, you leave them as “they are a subsidiary but not atually part of us and are run and controlled in a seperate way.” is the way they do it for a lovely, cover your own ass process.
This man here is confusing nostalgia for factual issues that were even in gamefreak and game informer magazines about issues.
ios is not a new normal. It jsut simply is. For pretty much any damn game anymore. Cyberpunk, GTAV, most korean MMOs, final fantasy. Diablo 3 had its own issues.
THe issue over the queue complaint is countered by the fact they had a ton of servers EMPTY. Yet, people did not go there, because “but this server is popular,” thought process.
Nothing here is new. People being dumb, not utilizing the many possibilities .
The closed beta and the streamers. There was so many bad rep being pushed everywhere and lost a ton of people canceling preorders.
This happened to me last night, I only had a small time to play and just couldnt sit in a queue so I made a new character, Im thinking both servers are going to be full again when I try to log on. I agree with OP, this is totally unacceptable from ‘amazon’ with their resources. Some indy company Id definitely have a lot more sympathy and patience with.

They are not going to fix this any time soon, why elske would they spend time on AFK’ers if they had a working fix!
They can increase the cap somewhat, but not enough to remove the queues. The world is full of people already, doubling the cap, would make this worse than a chinese subway in the morning.
They can open transfers, but they are not going to make thousands of people move to a new server, which will also be full aftewards anyway.
They stopped people from creating chars on full servers way too late and now they can’t fix is here and now.
7 hours of queing yesterday, do you really think they can fix that on a server that is already full?
New game or not, they knew how many preordered the game and they should have closed all full servers instantly, not after a week
new queue made me laugh XD , im stealing it
