This game is garbage. Well maybe not the game, but the company that makes it.
 
I have seen WoW vanilla launch more then 10 years ago and it was better. Ive seen every WoW expansion, LoL and all its patch, Demigod launch, DOTA2, Heroes of the Storm, Smite, Rift, Diablo and its expansions. All these games i have seen the launch, most ive been playing in Beta.
 
This game is the worst so far. First i couldnt log on at all. I guess its to be expected. Then i couldnt create my character. Well...at least that wasnt expected. Then....i still couldnt create character, a day later. And now i come back from work thinking surely it must be all fixed by now. And no...even worst, no realm available. 
 
And the very first day i try to play and cant log in it says something along the lines of: Paid account will have priority. Just to let me know im considered a second class citizen.
 
So not only did they totally failed their launch, they even found a way to insult me along the way. Just garbage.

			The realms are down because they're working on fixing the servers. And yeah, obviously subscribers get better treatment. Welcome to life kiddo, when you pay for something you get better quality than the ones who don't.

Haha seriously?  
 
Were you there for WoD?  These topics and posts I swear are employees from other game companies.
 
I've been able to play every day / night sense launch.  Yeah the lag sucks but I can play. All these OMG THE SKY IS FALLING WTF I AM SO ENTITLED make me chuckle.... 
 
(worst game launch ever... hahahahahhah)

			Reaper of Souls and Warlords of Draenor were unplayable during launch... so, please... no. I've managed to play several hours since WildStar F2P went live, despite the lag spikes.	
----
			Yeah, I remember on WoW patch day for 3.1 back in WoTLK, which was the Ulduar patch. The game was down for another 6 hours, after the initial 3am-11am PST maintenance. This is nothing, OP. I don't know what deluded memories could have made you not believe WoW hasn't had major issues on launch dates.Don't just vent if you have nothing constructive to say that isn't even true... It doesn't make you look like a strong candidate for an actual criticism

Look, I get you might be impaired. You're probably about 12 years old... Wanted to play Wildstar after being rejected by the cute girl in pottery class but couldn't. So naturally you take out your IRL butthurts on the game.
 
However, as someone who was subscribed and playing BEFORE the Free-To-Play launch, there are some things that you guys weren't able to see. Not to mention you seem to forget some key factors going into this re-launch of Wildstar.
 
1. Wildstar was a pretty quiet game before the F2P launch, servers and older code are catered towards a population of people who are willing to spend money to play the game. Not the 'unwashed masses' that F2P consists of.
2. Nearly all launches and re-launches have bugs and issues. Always assume something will go wrong. I have yet to participate in a game launch where there weren't issues.
3. Carbine Studios started as a very small developer and only shrunk over the year, they're not going to be able to jump on something immediately and have it fixed in 20 minutes.
4. Naturally, paying and subscribing players will get better treatment than you rabble-rousing fr00bs. Nobody likes you. Get used to it.

Why exactly did it go F2P in the first place? Oh yeah, cause there weren't enough paying and subscibing customers... So you don't like free players, but you need them. Sucks to be you.

Free to play models have been improving a lot over the years... and often times for small companies, they make a lot more money which they can re-invest into the game and other departments/games they're developing to help them grow.. 
 
I know many games that have been free to play that still exist today that do well, especially if it's vanity items. People REALLY enjoy mix n match costumes, mounts, pets, decor, trinkets, fun potions or interactive toys they can use with friends or groups.. A ton of people seem to love it.
 
I know I do from time to time as well. *shrug* I rather spend 20 bucks on items I want.. but at the same time, it's always best if they don't neglect to keep in-game content offering similar rewards too. New reps may offer costumes and mounts/pets too, and from what I've seen with Wildstar? They have a decent balance between vanity item availability ingame and in their shop.

			Way to exaggerate to the extreme, lmao

			Nobody is asking you to stay.  Most of us love the game and have supported it for a while.  This "launch" is actually quite a bit better than WoW's launches in the fact that most people can still play, even if it is rather laggy.  But here we are comparing one games tech to another games tech.  The employees at Carbine also seem to care a lot about the community and the game and are working to get the issues fixed.  The game has only seen just a little over 24 hours of light after the relaunch.  Patience will be required for the employees to fix the problems.

I've been able to play, maybe 10 minutes, since I downloaded the game yesterday lol 
 
As I do not feel waiting in queue again tonight. I'll either try again tomorrow or uninstall and find a new game.

I paid for League of Legend. I dont get priority in Qs (yes, the game was supposed to be paying and i bough the pre-order giving me right to play beta). I get some exclusive skins, not Q priority. And at that time, the very best super OP champ was Master Yi, by far the cheapest champion in League at that time. Pay to win isnt free.
 
I played vanilla Wow. I had the game at 10 am that morning and i was playing 30 minutes later. Wasnt the best possible experience, wasnt even a good experience, had plenty of down time in the first month, but i could play. 3 days in and i havnt played one minute yet.
 
Im actually a system admin for an hospital. I had launch and deployments my-self. In fact i have one next month, connecting the hospital to a regional database. I am ready now. It has been tested and re-tested and re-re-tested. And we have it rolling with fake packets since the beginning of the month to catch those bugs IN ADVANCE.
 
All those defending this launch and calling me a kid ARE the kids. They are used to fail in high school with no real consequences yet. Anyone working knows that if you screw up this bad, you are out on your ass. I know i would.

Hate to say this but they had 2 launches comparing that to WOW is understatement. Currently both Launchers are a fail and its not due the games fault. Wow had a rocky start but they where able to fix it fast. I will give wildstar up to a month until I make my decision not to come back if 5 hour wait times continue. I have work and everything waiting 5 hours is just stupid and waste of my time and money. 
 
No I will not pay for something that I don't know if I will like or not and from what gameplay I did get out of it, it was pretty liner gameplay. 
 
Everyone has a right to complain about this as its their job as a company to fix this issue sooner than later, but knowing this company they are also on tight string trying to make their way back into a money flow that was pretty much cut off from their first blunder. This launch wasn't a great success and coming from this company isn't a big shocker but its expected at a second time to have something a bit more prepared or you will not get very far in the future.

			Vindictiv: You realize the game hasn't been up for 3 days, right?  Release was 9/29/2015 and if anything, you only had an extra 3 hours because it was up at like 9 PST.DemondOrth: WoW has had more than 2 launches.  Look at how many expansions it's had.  Each launch was a lag fest with server downtime.

			Wildstar has been up and running for over a year now. It is amazing they could screw up a game that was running fine days ago.

			It's the same genre, DemondOrth.  The only visible change is subscription tiers and cash shop.  It's like an expansion, kind of, but not really.  WoW's launches have all been very very poor and had the same problems this game is having within the first week.  Lag and Queues happen when you get a large influx of people returning or trying the game out for the first time.  The only difference here is that we actually had a playable product and weren't stuck in a limbo between the open world and our housing plot (just a longer loading screen) and there are still people who are able to go and enjoy PvP and dungeons (just check out some of the streams Carbine have posted up on their home page) despite the lag.  Both games had a long queue to get into the game as well.This game has seriously only been up for only 44 hours and it's still in a playable state.

WoD was horrible, but Reaper of Souls? *confused* Maybe you're confusing it with the vanilla D3 launch (that one was truly horrible, but I fear WS has a good shot of passing it with this one) but RoS was maybe the smoothest expansion launch I've ever witnessed, I didn't even need to restart the game, when the clock hit release hour, you could just hop into the new act and start playing, had no problems whatsoever.
