			Suckers.  It has made for some entertaining forums at work though.

			Fool me once...

			I didn't, but I know there has to be people out there that did.  Every MMO launch or re-launch someone is taking a vacation day.	
----
			Well whoever did, the joke's on them.

			If people did... I can't not chuckle to myself. Years upon years of 'launches' have all ended up very similar.. Why anyone would waste a day off/paid time off on sitting there getting mad at their keyboard is beyond me.. I mean. I'd book time off for the following week instead once things have been made more stable and the lag/queue times aren't as horrible.

Calling in sick to play a game is not 'fine' it's extremely irresponsible, and you put your co-workers at work even harder to find a replacement for you. It's completely different from vacation time, where your absence is expected.

			I had the day off but Im still salty I dont get to play

I didn't because I'm a responsible adult.
If anyone calls in sick today just to play a game just.. Stop.
If you took vacation time, that isn't as bad in my opinion. Vacation is a vacation.

			Well I did take vacation today, but not for Wildstar. Wildstar is just a nice bonus I can do on my day off. It only took a 30 second wait time to get on Warhound so not too bad there.

 Calling in sick to play a game is fine.
Just be wary of doing it for an MMO launch. 99% of the time you will waste your day.

			I didn't took the day off But have spent the all day hoping this mess its going to be resolved. But all I get is bugs laaaag and more bugs

I have unlimited vacation days and can work from home whenever I like. But for game launches I just tell my staff I'm not going to be in. For Example: I already have November 10th off to play Legacy of the Void :)
 
Every company has different allowances for what's accepted.

I hate when people call out sick, we have no back ups and we have to rely on OT or lose production.  I live the pain.  Luckily I don't think my guys play videogames.

I didn't take a day off, today just happens to be one. My boss is my father so I don't call in sick unless I'm literally unable to get up.
 
I'm hopeful I'll get to play a bit later, once they fix the character creation issues, but for now I'm enjoying some quality time browsing the forums and catching up on Good Mythical Morning episodes. If you don't know Rhett & Link, have a look at this one: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGMcv6KnIyQ), got quite the chuckle out of it. 
 
In other words, it doesn't feel like a wasted day to me. If I get to play today, I'll consider that a sweet bonus.
