Which was 17 years ago? That’s not a good comparison.
Uh what makes you think it hasn’t effected me? I’m not in game and am in queue lol!
Sit down. 
Agreed, I logged on, created a character, and was able to start, with a smooth kick off to New World.
Worst one for us was ArcheAge… TERRIBAD launch!
This is cake. GG Amazon!
Are you aware that every single Asia-Pacific server is full, and that literally no one in that entire region is able to join the game?
This is an atrocious launch.
Yep this ^
Every AP server has 2k to 25k in queue.
What do you tell Square Enix which has run their FF14 Online for 10+ years and there are still long queues? Stop being so entitled.
11,900 players in que would disagree with you. Its clearly not smooth
I haven’t been able to assess the game’s smoothness yet. I’m still in a 600+ queue. 
That depends on the server you want to join. Some servers have less than 300 in queue. Some servers didn’t have a queue at all.
*300k
First MMO launch?
Well we’ll see in 2-3 days if AGS meets even that standard, won’t we?
2-3 days man? i paid money, i want to play, i can get the first maybe day of launch, i knew it was gonna be bad, but not this bad lol
You can’t have been playing any of the blizzard games / expansions / remakes for the past 20 years then,
everyone of them have not only have long ques but they have had insane lag / crashes / repeated server restarts / insane amount of buts / and more,
all of which have lasted all from a few days to 2 weeks+,
now as far as i know of this game the que got long rather fast sure, it’s expected on any game launch, even give blizzard a pass on that, but once in the game i notice no lag issue at all nor any bugs at all so far, and i can’t say if its been the same for all servers but the one i play on only had 1 restart so far,
i very much agree that its been rather smooth even tho being stock in a que is always annoying.
Literally the worst gaming experience i’ve ever had in 20 years. Playing with bugs is better than not playing at all and watching your competition progress.
I am totally loving it with 8224 place in queue and 55 hours of average wait time I will be creating my character by weekend (if login servers are available) ! Good work Amazon - way to go!
So far so good!
Im watching people already level 15. I cant even login, what the fuck they expect me to do. Not exploit shit?
