			What is Twitter? Is it on the official forums where people go to find out why the servers are down?

			Oh so they're using a platform most people don't use, instead of the forums, where most people will be looking for updates.

			This has hands down been one of the worst launches I have seen in some time.

Guess you weren't around for the WoD release. Or the release/rerelease of pretty much any MMO.

them fanboys claiming that we havent been on any mmo release. topkek #cringed #ayyylmao
 
Huge fail. They supposedly fixed those issues with the prior hotfix but now its all over again. The funniest part is that they were giggling and laughing completely unprofessional at the livestream before launch. Wanna see them laughing now kek

			Twitter lol. I suppose were going to start getting the ability to upload in game selfies. Excuse me while i go throw up some more. Update should go to forums first IMO. Its highly doubtful anyone with an issue says "the game isnt working right for me, I better go check the wildstar twitter feed." Sorry, old school here. Updates should go to the forums first.

			of all social media i will not use twitter and for companies to only use ANY social media before their own forums, thats VERY bad

			I know a lot of people that don't use twitter. It's worthless. The only people that use twitter are ones that want to feel important and hang with famous people.

Flagshipped!
 
Well, we are not quite there yet...

			Though I am in my 40's I have learned (from past experience) to check these companies twitter pages as they seem to post there alot sometimes before on their own forums.  Not sure why this is but yeah,   In the end we got some sort of update and  that was the purpose of the thread:P

Hey little Zeroba. The grown ups don't use social media. They use their mouths, and phone calls to communicate with other humans. They have meals face to face with other humans negating the need to take a picture of their triple flop mocha chi jalapeno double jigger cup of crap for $5.00 and post it on Instagram or twitter.
 
One day, you too will learn how to be all growed up. Good luck.

Chances are, I've been playing MMOs longer than you've known how to operate a computer. 12AM-5AM, that's your window for launch hiccups. Past that, you better smooth it out. It's the middle of the day on a Tuesday and they are having this much of a problem. Friday is going to be mayhem for this game.

			Hiding on twitter is ok with you? Not sure how you are still alive at 40.

Go back to WoW. We all know you want to.
Oh wait how about that WoD release you never took part in. You would think this is golden compared to WoD.
But by all means, keep complaining. Just more people to laugh at you that actually understand how MMO launches and relaunches go.
----
			
I played during WoD launch and this is far worse than that launch.
 
At least with WoD I was able to log in and play the game after the first hour.
 
13 hours later and I still can not create a character in Wildstar.
 
I agree issues happen at launch.
 
However, the reaction time to fix the issues has been real slow so far. Hopefully it will improve.

Clearly, someone needs to tell Blizzard, EA, and every other online company in existence.. that they're only allowed to have issues during overnight maintenance windows... as they ALL have problems outside of that...
 
I'm sure they'll rectify the situation immediately, and from now on, things will only break during scheduled maintenance windows, since.. you know.. that's the only time you've given your permission for issues.
 
edit: hey look, being patient works.. I can login!

Generally speaking, most people do not use twitter.  Twitter has 304 million active accounts compared to ~7 billion people.  That means 1 in 23 people on the planet use twitter.  If you look at only US and EU populations (US = ~320 million and EU is ~503 million) that that value is 1 in 2.71 people...but twitter is more far reaching then that.
 
Needless to say, the MAJORITY of people both playing this game and even on the forums do not use twitter as a news platform.  It is just pure statistics...at best 1 our of every 2.71 people will use it.  Now this is all based on public active information and not passive accounts.  But you get the idea...it is really not the best way to disseminate information to a group unless you can guarantee 100% of the people using your service are also on twitter.
 
As for things being down...spiffy...was wondering what was going on.  I hope they are also adding in a little more capacity as last time I could get in the queue was at 2 hours with 2k people in line.  That is just a little messy.

As I noticed their Twitter feed is on the main site and many many companies use Twitter (more than many other social platforms).  So much so that many customer service software tools have integration.
 
A better complaint is why server status / issues requires people to check outside sources at all; it should be part of the game launcher itself.  Save the Twitter etc for site or launcher issues

Did this sound better in your head? I'm sure it did. I said -LAUNCH HICCUPS-. Plus, the playerbase WoW serves crushes the amount these servers are seeing. They handle the most popular MMO traffic on a daily basis. Past the launch, sure there will be days outside the maintenance window where things need to be tweaked. That's standard operating procedure. This is launch. They should have been prepared for this. FFXIV got hit with a similar pinch like Wildstar is right now, underestimating their numbers. But they had a back-up plan ready, implemented it swiftly, and gave us regular updates during the interim. The Wildstar community managers basically just said "Lol, something's broke, get back to you laterz", and posted it only on Twitter. That's garbage. A team with experience dealing with WoW in its prime should know better. That's the point I'm making.

			I play WoW aswell and I know for a fact that blizzard mostly uses twitter for server status updates. They only post in forums for big patch days unless there is a really big emergency then they post on both.
