Hey Guys/Gals,
 
Just wanted to say that I am having a really good experience here thus far, logon problems and all.
I subbed briefly at launch, did not stay around, primarily due to playing other games. However, given the mostly-poor landscape of MMOs nowadays, I figured I would definitely give W* another shot and I am very glad I did. The improvements since launch are too numerous to list, and to put it succinctly, I am really having a good time. Especially on my A/U Esper, lol.
 
I realize (as do we all) that there have been a litany of problems since this thing re-launched, but that is far from uncommon. Yes, the troubles are exacerbated by the fact that this game has been out for over a year, but thus far I think things are on the right track. Sure, I've hit the Loop of Doom and so forth, but over the past couple of days have played for hours on end and had a great time. I would posit that over the next week or so, everything will smooth out. MMOs are susceptible to bugs, there's just no getting around that. Could Carbine have been better prepared for the f2p rush? Sure. But I believe they are working on it.
 
I played WoW for years, and there was not one single WoW expansion that didn't suffer from login queues and God knows what else. Remember, one of the reasons Blizzard has changed the number of servers so many times over the years is due to the ever-fluctuating demand of the player base as it swells and recedes. Sure, they are very good at it, but they, too, have had their problems. I also seem to remember a little super-hyped game called Guild Wars 2. Remember its launch? When their auction house didn't work for what, two weeks? And when folks in WvW couldn't even see their opponents due to horrible client optimization? Yeah. Oh, and how about FF XIV: ARR? Am I crazy, or did Yoshi-P actually issue an apology to the players because of the queues and disconnects and Lord knows what else?
 
Point being, all of these games have their growing pains. Those of you who are subbing have every right to be upset, but all you can do is give it time. In my opinion, this game is looking really good, and there isn't much else out there that's going to hold your attention, believe me. I, for one, am glad I came back around, and I am quite certain that Carbine is glad to have this many of us clogging up their servers, anyway.
 
Thanks for improving things guys, and best of luck getting it all back on track!
 
--A (Mostly) Happy Player
