Everyone, literally everyone playing mmorpgs is trying to play Wildstar right now.  Half of Twitch is trying to log in.
 
This weekend right now is the only opportunity Wildstar FTP has to make a good impression on the player base.  You only get one chance, Wildstar is now getting a second chance.  Almost no mmorpg gets to have a second chance.  Everyone very well knows that there is so many options out there that if you let people down right at the start you are done.
 
Right now, Wildstar's big second chance aaaaand... nobody can log in, much less play.  Where do you think this is heading?
 
the psitive thing, if any, that I see here is that we are all sitting here for hours trying to get in, Twitch channels are sitting there in the login screen loop for hours patiently waiting.  I don't think anyone expected this many people to be this loyal and dead set on playing against all odds.
 
I really hope that Carbine realizes that they will have to do something pretty amazing to turn this around as a total public relations disaster, and all that hinges on these issues even being fixed faster rather then later.
 
It's sad that I am writing this, those who know me know ho wmuch of a Wildstar fanboy I am.  I will be playing untill the last server shuts it's doors - But a lot of people who are gettign rather upset sittign in login loops will feer very different.

			people will get bored and move on like before. they were clever in launching f2p during a massive lull in gaming, but i give this another week or two and interest will dissipate

			People will get over themselves and play it when it works. I have foreseen it.

what i dont understand is for months they have planned the relaunch. most people quit wildstar(my experience) because of being stuck in progression(silvers). by the time bronze change come around the game was close to dead losing well over 80% of the playerbase.
 
NOTE: i could list 1000s of things that caused people to quit. class balance, crafting being better then gearing via content, the gearing system itself, removing epics from golds, gold or quit, malgrave trial, PVP being 1800 or die, the list of stupid mistakes goes on and on, and warcraft literally done all these mistakes for you to learn by with a bit of research. the only thing i can excuse is class balance.
 
Now people have a chance to level up together and get groups, people obviously would give wildstar a 2nd go. as well as wow losing alot of subs, alot of mmo players want something to sink their teeth into.
 
should have been 5-10 servers ready to go on launch. whats sad is i have a few people i play hots asking where i am, and when they ask should i download wildstar and give it a go the answer atm is no.
 
on top of that i went to sleep well over 8 hours ago with these problems, wake up spend a few hours getting my affairs in order and its still *cupcake*ed.

			I hope they can get the game somewhat functional for the weekend. The monday night release was definitely good for giving them time to prepare for the weekend, but at this rate I'm worried they overestimated their ability to react to issues as they come and go.

			BOOM HEADSHOT

			Wow is losing people because it's worked well for nearly 10+ years and they are burnt out. W* is fun but it ain't in the same sugar bowl. Apples and planets difference. As soon as Legions releases you will see millions return to a working set of servers too. That said, I hope W* gets fixed cause it fun when it works.

Two days ago, I said that Carbine need not yet consider "rewarding" the patience of the (potential) player base - as it stands now, I am sure they feel at least slightly obligated to offer *something* as compensation.
 
That's where I run into a wall.
 
Compensation to whom? For subscribers, that's easy. Extended benefits, for sure, to cover the outage, maybe some junkboxes.
 
For for the Freebots, what *can* you offer when the ability to make accounts is practically unlimited? An event? An in-game experience of some kind? A novelty item or two? 
 
A sale on the cash shop that *just opened* and likely hasn't even had the chance to pay for itself?
 
I dunno. That's trickier. What is fair "compensation" when the product is free?

most games go with a boost or some kind of pet

			and their restarts and maintenance just make t worse

As much as I want to believe you, I can't.
 
People were saying that A LOT when it first launched, and look how that turned out.
