What on earth...
 
I tried logging in a little while ago, got into the queue. Went 'Eh, whatever, I'll check and see if there's a non-full server I can make an alt on.'
 
Hit 'Change Realm', and saw something that makes no sense at all; my Stormtalon characters from Beta are still, apparently, there. I can't get to the character select screen to make sure (6h queue time), but the name it gave me for the toon on that realm was the same as my last played beta character. Anyone else seeing something like this?

Big ticket items right now - Blank character select window after waiting in queue and potentially more PvP realms. That's what I'm seeing the most traction on.
 
For what it's worth, we don't see any queue (NA-PVP) on Bloodsworn, so it might be good to roll over there.
----
			Paid for head start + Deluxe and still being treated as a guest post-hotix.	
----
			
I started as 4300 in queue with 30 hours on estimated wait time.  3 hours later im at 19 hours.  Is my account being treated as a guest account, where can I check?
 
Players are treated as Guest and not placed into queues correctly

Quick question, how exactly do we know if our queue is a guest queue or a regular queue?
 
I believe everyone gets the message about Guest accounts having lower priority, so I don't think that's a good indicator.
 
So yes. How do I know?

			Im stuck at the Terms and Conditions when I start up wildstar... I cant click the "accecpt" or "reject" buttons, or even the hyperlinks within the terms and conditions. All i can do is scroll up and down the terms and hit "Esc" on my keybord to exit Wildstar. Anyone have an idea whats wrong?

Sadly, i'm stucked in the bouncing EU-US datacenter issue. I think this is the major issue now.

Hey guys. If you're stuck in the really long queues, just try changing back and forth between servers and you should eventually get back in.
 
It worked for me! Good luck!

This has probably already been reported but here it goes. 
 
Something is defaulting me to Caretaker. My entire guild is on Stormtalon. I switched servers to Stormtalon, waited in queue, got the blank screen. I alt-f4d (per this post) and logged right back in only to be taken back to caretaker... Trying to switch put me right back in queue with a new 5 hr wait. I've tried every trick I've read: Modifying the configs to change the default login server, alt-f4 a lot until I get through and nothing is working... has anyone else seen this and or have a fix. 
 
I really dont mind queues but having to re-queue kind of ticks me off.

			I think its bs that streames are logging right into the game with no wait and everyone else has to wait for hours. I sat at a loding screen for an hour just to get booted off twice. Its one thing for you guys to have server issues I can understand that but to watch someone else jump right in really burns my ass.

Guys,
still getting "Guest account that haven't purchased ... " in queue.
 
BTW Will there by any solution in future for extremely long queues (2500+ people/ 24+ hours) or it will be like this forever until players start to leave the game forever. I.e. in week/month will there still be so huge queues?

			Still being treated as a guest and i have 2 toons on stormtalon....what i get for sleeping for 2 hrs, now have wait for 6hrs to play

{| class="blockquote"
It's a left over from the cache in your wildstar folder (where you also put your addons). I had the same thing and thought they didn't wipe the characters. If you log in on the server, they will not be there.

Tried to login - stuck in 2hr queue. Waited 2hrs. Found blank character screen.
Logged in a second window - said already was active on both screens - fixed the blank screen error.
Tried to login with a newly created character - hanging at login screen.
Tried to fix it with logging in a second window - now first window is greyed out with yellow letters saying that Another Client Has Logged... blah blah. Closed game and tried to log quickly back in.
 
5 hour queue.
 
Waited ~4hours.  Logged in to find blank character screen.

			Same as others. stuck in queue as a guest. But hey my queue is down from 1700 to 1100 so there is progress :)

I have the digital deluxe version and am still being flagged as a guest account on the login queue. I'm not sure the hot fix worked for this issue.
 
Logged on this morning no issue, got to level 11, hopped off to go eat lunch and now I can't get back on and am the bottom of a 5 hour queue.	
----
			i cant see a server list :( and when i could i got blank screen after queues	
----
			
 
Do I have the guest account bug, owning a digital deluxe edition?
Some of my guild mates with other editions have not waited 5 hours as I have...	
----
			
This morning when I tried logging in I guess I was flagged correctly and got in after about 45 minutes. But when I got back from running errands (silly me I thought the issues with the queue would be better instead of worse later in the day!) my queue started out as 31 hours estimated at #4100+, two and a half hours later I'm at 20 hours estimated and #2100. 
 
I know a lot of people have it worse than me, at least I got to play this morning, but the hot fix doesn't seem to have helped the issues with the queue!	
----
			
People who play since long time in mmorpg supposed to know what so called pre order is about.... its just about making numbers...statistics... no one cares about you play or not... that you can login or stuck on silly error messages ... ;) its just modern mmorpg development.... everything to get money.... why there is not enough servers? why servers are poor quality? because its cheap. Why sell unlimited copies of pre orders? to get more people....
 
The number of  pre order's should be limited to match servers quality.... but developers (or rather their bosses) choose greedy option... -.-

			i log in normally however game stack at "Retriving characters - Just a moment"

			What was the point of Pre-Ordering?#1 was Name Res:  Unfortunately that didnt go as planned since Carbine didnt think it through + now im hearing reports of people who successfully Name Res'd not getting their res'd name.#2 was Headstart:  Unfortunately for MANY players who play on Pergo (dont know about other servers) we havent even been able to get into the server after 13 hours of trying...So... yea... pretty ridiculous.  I would have at least liked to have been able to create my character 13+ hours later...-fuzz

			Wildstar is dead for the day, at least in the EU. Not happy, so i've cancelled my pre-order from Amazon. Better communication and at least a realm list but to Q for over an hour, get a blank screen is just taking the monkeys.....To rub salt in the wound, the 3 mins I have played, made a character and now it wont actually load.

I have been waiting to play this game AN ENTIRE DAY... AND STILL NOTHING , when you have in mind that i`m in a super hyped raiding guild, that wants to start right away..... yet i`m staying in Que for over 5 hours... with an follow up blank screen afterwards... YOU KNEW the game is gonna have a LOT LOT LOT of people that would want to play, YOU KNEW that only 1 server wont be enough, man YOU KNEW so many things and still you didnt prevent it or atleast make it as smooth as possibly, your trying to fix it now - where people are allready playing and a lot of other are not. This in my opinion is retarded... you saw how many people Pre-ordered the game, you damn knew the servers wont hold it up... but 0 reaction = the situation we have now, And yes... in day/2/3 everything will be smooth, and people will have 2 hours of playtime for the entire Pre-order Session , which leads to FAIL... people pre-ordered so they have HEAD START you even state it on your website - HEAD START , mine head start will be level 5 before the actual launch - remarkable. The think i cannot get with p2p games -your prising the game , your taking monthly subscription and all we have is "Thanks for the understanding" Please be aware THATS NOT ENOUGH . WE pay - we want to play, not after 1 week when everything is settled, people have rescheduled work and other stuff just to play a flat first week, and here we go.. FAIL . This push me back so much... i was so hyped about the game (and yes i knew there would be problems, but not a whole day for you to resolve...) seeing devs playing the game instead of actually helping the ones who work... pushed me back aswell. 
And yes i might be "whiner" to the others, but believe me i sacrificed a lot... for 1 or 2 flat weeks of playing the game. My 1st day = cool stuff happening all the time - 2 hours of playing time.IF within the next days the situation is the same, you lost me as a sub. And believe every single one counts when your releasing a new game. Keep up the work (for those of you , who actually work).

So I decided after a break to reroll on a different server, which means that I can't play with my guild since Stormtalon is a 9 hour que.....  I'll tell you that alone it going to deter me from playing right off the bat... 
 
So I get on the ONLY other server that isn't full, and I can't stay logged in for more than 15 minutes at a time before I get booted with the message
 	"NETWORK ERROR: CONNECTION CLOSED 64.25.34.198:23115" 
Then if I hammer for 10 minutes between the code 15 errors, and timeouts, I might be able to get back on....
 
 
 
I realize launches don't ever work out like we planned, but this is getting to the unacceptable phase at this point.  I along with many many other people payed money for a game we believed in, just to not be able to play as promised.  I am not or will not ask for compensation for anything, I'm not part of the entitled crowd, what I want is what was promised, to be able to play.
 
 
"The Dev's are Listening" is starting to seem more like a cheap tagline as this goes on...... Just one persons opinion.

This is an exciting time for all of us, with many players attempting to create accounts and play all at once. For that reason, our system is currently taking extra time to activate WildStar keys, causing many players to get a "No Valid Game Account" error.
While we want to get you logged in and playing as quickly as possible, this process could take up to 3 hours. The process begins at the time your account is created.

Hi Carbine, thanks again for the updates and fixes!
 
Now that I'm more awake, my excitement is really ramping up again, and I would love to be able to play on the server where I created my primary characters, however, it still thinks I am a guest account. Unfortunately, this means I'm once again out of luck and can't play, and so I wanted to provide what I'm sure is one of thousands of updates by now. :p
 
Oh well, back to Twitch and other streams in the meantime. B)

Maybe that will help them to see this problem since they are doing nothing about it.

			Well that's my day ruined lol... Friends waited for me till they couldn't wait no more and now i have basically had enough (12 hours and counting) and its either a good compensation they HAVE TO GIVE EVERYONE FOR THESE INSANE PROBLEMS or im done with this game and shitty company	
----
			As of 10 minutes ago when I tried to connect I'm at position 1400ish in queue, which I think means that it still thinks I have a Guest account.

			Still cannot seem to claim any items from my account inventory. When I do it says that it's claimed but once I look to see if it's in my inventory, etc.. there's nothing and it says that C.R.E.D.D has been used.

Good luck with the fixes!

Character screen is blank for me after very long queue times.
The Alt-F4 suggestion does not work.
Deleting the "Client64" folder did not work.
 
This is not what I expected from a AAA MMO at launch. Long queue times, yes. Broken queue mechanics that become worse than cake, no!

Buying the Deluxe Upgrade (and activate it!!) worked for me and the 'No Valid Game Account' message is gone. Maybe if you add a gametime card key, it will work too!

			Sorry, but this is pathetic, would have been better if u just shut the entire game down till u can do a proper launch where the realm list is atleast working, and not just loading forever. If ppl wanna sit in 30 hours queue for the server they started with let them, i created a character on Hazak at like 12 am, played till 3pm smth, got disconnected, sent into zhur, and tried getting the realm list up since then so i could get back into hazak, i rather spend 30 hours in queue to play with my "friends". Now instead i have spent 9 hours(with some breaks) trieing over and over to get up the realm list so i can get out of this hellhole, but no...

Big ticket items right now - Blank character select window after waiting in queue and potentially more PvP realms. That's what I'm seeing the most traction on.
 
For what it's worth, we don't see any queue (NA-PVP) on Bloodsworn, so it might be good to roll over there.

Letting you know that I (and others in my guild) am still having this issue. It is most definitely not fixed. I have the red lettering in the queue dialog telling me how guests are at the end of the line. 
 
This is happening on Pergo.  I can log in to Warbringer without a queue.
 
I'd be happy about that except I'm in a guild on pergo and cannot get logged in on that realm.

			So during the name reservation period I tried to get my name I wanted, but the issues with the page kept resulting in errors. So after a few hours I thought of a new name that I liked almost as much as the first and reserved it. I got the timer to load confirming the reservation was successful. Now that the game has launched, neither of the two names I tried to reserve are working. I didn't change my email address. If anyone knows if this is a persistent problem that will be fixed, or if I'm out of luck and should grab a new name asap, lemme know. thanks

Hi all,
 
We are currently investigating and tracking the following issues.
 
Players are unable to view Realm List/Enter RealmsUPDATE (FIX): We believe this issue has now been fixed and players can view the Realm List.
STILL ONGOING. Sadly this issue is still affecting someplayers and we are attempting to fix it.
Once through to a realm, players Character Creation screen is blank and they cannot progress.UPDATE (POTENTIAL FIX): We believe that completely closing and restarting the game client will fix this issue for some users. Alt-F4 from the character screen and immediately restart the client.
Various connected issues: Users are not being correctly flagged
UPDATE: HOTFIX DEPLOYED. This should address the issues in orange below. Please let us know if you still encounter these issues.Players are treated as Guest and not placed into queues correctly
Players cannot speak/do not have permissions to use chat channels
Players are missing their entitlement items (Boom Boxes, Pre-Order bonuses etc) OR they recieve a message that it has already been claimed.
Players cannot create characters/have less character slots than intended
Bag of Awesomness was not fixed during the Hotfix.
Some users are seeing an Error 15 message preventing login. (2FA)POSSIBLE FIX: We recommend using a hard line into your Router (if possible) rather than a WiFi connection to see if this resolves the issue
Users are reporting their Reserved names are not available.UPDATE: We believe this to be affecting users who have changed their email since Name Reservation, unfortunately due to the system it is not possible to award the new email with the reserved name.

We will try and update you with information as we receive it, but there are a lot of moving parts right now and we're trying to get everything up and running so please bare with us! We're working on these issues as fast as possible and are sincerely sorry if you're unable to get in and enjoy WildStar right now.

hello, nearly 12 hours with "no valid account" and barely even a word on it, it wasnt even mentioned for the hotfix in the countdown to launch show.its very hard to stay patient when it seems like the issue is being ignored. i know that you are very likely to be working your asses off to fix it, but the glaring silence is very frustrating, especially after promising in the original post that you would "try and update you with information as soon as we get it" and 14 hours of waiting for you to be "working on it as fast as possible". especially when you seem to be ignoring any mention or asking about the issue in all available channels, including forums, twitter, facebook, and twitch.
please, it would be really nice with just a brief status update, maybe even an explanation of what the problem is. i know you have a team of community managers, it wouldnt be that hard to have one of them contact networks, and ask for something to tell the many people who cant play.

I'm number 1200 in the realm queue with an almost 4 hour wait.  I see the red message on the screen "Guest accounts..."   - I pre-purchased the Dig deluxe edition a while ago, so this this the error or does the message appear for everyone in the login queue?

14 hours of "no account" on either server.  Worse, I broke PONG.  CS is a *cupcake*ing joke, communication to people who are legitimately claiming NFFP is non-existent.
 
Couldn't give a shit that this is maybe/maybe not worst MMO launch in history.  What it IS is a complete fiasco.  What it has done is waste my day and waste my money, since as a higher than normal paying customer I have received NOTHING as promised, when *cupcake*ing GOLD SELLERS are fine to play (oh yes, and if you try to report them, client crashes).
 
I've played every MMO out there (well, except FF series) and ALL NC MMOs - I understand the point of committing resources on the bell curve so you don't overextend, but when you BUY A PRODUCT from the publisher directly, and BUY THE MORE EXPENSIVE VERSION, you do not, and will not, find 12 hours of a login screen acceptable.
 
I'm not hugely ranting here - I know the law in the EU and I know how to file for appropriate damages due to NFFP vs time spent working.  I'm also sure the DEVs are not to blame; the publisher's infrastructure is.
 
That caveat having been said, I don't care what industry it is, it's clear breach of the law.  Fix it.  And no, I don't need to say please, and won't due to the time I have wasted.

Cougar just said on the livestream that they are deploying some fixes, but it will require the servers to be taken offline for ~15 minutes.  No ETA on that yet...

Not yet fixed

Preorder Deluxe -> wait an hour in a queue as a guest ->  get a blank character select screen -> rinse -> repeat.  Manage to log in after 4 hours+, can't claim items, crash with UI error, then back to the good old guest queue > blank screen > repeat.
 
Not cool.

			Let's see three day head start, 1.5 of those looks like queue time.  Not a good trade.

			1 hour que that took maybe 30 minutes. I log in and all my characters are missing. No options to make one or swap servers. Thankfully client restart did not lead to another login que, and characters were there.

			Hey thought id just say the only issue im having is that at around 4:00 EST i had my account inventory filled with me pre-order/deluxe/beta items and then the server lost connection and now they are gone.	
----
			
Just wanted to report my issues. Everything was fine after the initial hour of server crashes. When I came back from dinner I was faced with 3000+ queue for Hazak, I checked the other realms, I thought there was no harm - I was wrong. Now I'm trapped on Zhur, have been for 7 hours.
 
None of these proposed "fixes" work:
1. Repair
2. Reinstall
3. Edit files in AppData folder
4. Log in on another pc.
 
This issue is server-side and seems to only affect Zhur. A temporary fix could be to set everyone's default realm to one of the Normal servers. Can you pleaase do this? I understand that it might be hard to find what's causing the issue, but it would be great if you released everyone who's gotten stuck over the last few hours. Switching between any other servers besides Zhur worked fine for me and my friends, maybe since you recently set Zhur up, it is not properly connected to the realm server, like the others are?

Players are unable to view Realm List/Enter Realms
 
Since this hasn't been fixed yet I'm here to throw out my educated guess;
You're dealing with an off by 1 problem, the last server in the list causing this *server* locking.
Prior to adding Zhur this was some french RP server, which is low populated so people pretty much knew what they were in for when they went there.
Quick fix would be adding another server named Zz and disabling character creation

Totally agreeing on this, Its been way to long and this isn't even being considered as a *Top* problem even though i'm sure tons of people are stuck on this.
Could we get a fix for this asap... Its reached a point where i'm geting envious of people who are actually in hours of queueing while most of us are still stuck on this *ping pong* between servers and have yet to see an actual server list.

			Any information on the missing code problem?  My wife bought the standard version through the Wildstar website last night at 6pm and still has no code.  Our card has been charged and we received a confirmation email, but no code in the "Apply a Code" section.  In addition, we've put in tickets asking for support on this and have had no response.  Without a quick resolution, since we are missing out on the Head Start, I am considering buying a code from a different retailer and then disputing the charge from Wildstar with my bank.  There are multiple posts regarding this issue with no resolution, so it is not an isolated incident.  Please give an update on this issue immediately.

As far as I can tell the only CS that cares are EU given the updates, and they're long gone today now.

			Just chipping in, I've been waiting 14 hours as well for a fix to the NA/EU bouncing issue, my guildmates/friends are all lvl 16-17 by now leaving me in the dust. Leveling alone in a MMO is just..peachy! Please dont just fix this, compensate.

Not a happy camper. :(  Was looking forward to spending the weekend playing, but I'm starting to fear I won't be able to log in any time soon, if at all. Just hoping the 3 day headstart is not part of my 30 free days or that the days I'm not able to log in due to this are refunded in some way. And that is hoping that I could at least have a chance at logging in after work on Monday, as I'm seeing more and more talk of PVP realms being made but no mention of PVE...

			They don't want us to play in any other server in EU but Zhur, they push the people to play there that's why the don't fix the realm list, but is easy, just fix the realm list and open free realm transfers and the groups of people, groups of friends and guilds can move together to a new server, this is a really simple way

is it so much to ask?
all i want is to lvl on my friends realm.. nothing more
seems like its abit to hard for this game.. 14 hours have passed & i can't even see the servers..
this is a BIG dissapointment
i question the ppl saying this is a smooth launch..
i question the DEV'S even more for thinking live streaming on twitch is more important then the player base not bieing able to play
they said the dev's listen.. atm there just ignoring & listening to what they want to listen

I am seeing waits and full realms. Question?  Due to sever congestion will players have the option to transfer their characters to other realms free of charge, or will the servers be expanded to prevent players from waiting to access the game?

hey so been stuck on Zhur all day now like many others and don't get me wrong I'm not complaining been though many MMO launch's to know what I was getting in to lol. Still just out of curiosity can you not just shut down the sever at a reported time so we who are stuck on the sever can then log on at that time and be forced into the Que of another, there for escaping Zhur ? 
 
If that is possible give me a job please lol =P

Hey, restarted the game and launcher after the hotfix deployment, and I'm still being flagged as a guest when trying to log into the Stormtalon server - I have a character on the server, and I can log into other servers.
 
So the issue is still ongoing.

			How do we get a refund, they clearly cannot fix this no valid account bug.

This is beyond a joke now. This is the worst launch I can remember. Took about 8 hours to log on, got about 2 hours of play, then my connection was closed and I'm back to guest status again. And I consider myself one of the lucky ones.

			No disrespect towards the devs and those in the company who're streaming the game. Its not their fault either more the fault of those who're taking so long to fix these issues, I mean its been like 15hours already, 3500+ posts on this topic which says enough about how many people are facing issues. And from what i'm seeing out of all the major issues we started with today the best there is is *possible hotfixes*. Most so called fixes have already been rejected as not working. Realy makes me wonder about How many people they actually got looking into these problems and how many of them have the actual knowledge about them >.<.

Still unable to get into the Stormtalon server. It says guest accounts are held back in the queue, and gives me an 8 hour estimated wait to log in.

Jumped into the queue about 30 minutes ago, did some stuff around the house, came back to watch something while I wait and turns out the music is incredibly loud.
I don't particularly want to lose my spot to turn it down.
 
 
Also, please tell us the population caps are artificially lowered for a time to space out the allowed amount of players so that the zones aren't packed during the initial stages of the game's release or something.

Guys I think we may have to consider the possibility that we aren't flagged as guests, and that red lower priority queue message is just displayed on all queue notifications JUST IN CASE YOU'RE TRYING TO LOG IN WITH A GUEST ACCOUNT.

Big ticket items right now - Blank character select window after waiting in queue and potentially more PvP realms. That's what I'm seeing the most traction on.

In the queue again for Pergo. After 4+ hours, I'm in POS 1256. And yes, I pre-ordered deluxe. (Though I am getting the whole "guests are lower in priority" message in red. Not sure if that's standard.)
Any idea if we're going to see PVP server capacity increases? That would help a lot. Since launch, the queue starting point has been around 4000.
Bugs I get. No problem. Every software deals with it from time to time. Particularly on launch and with load issues compiling them/making them harder to investigate.
While adding new servers/realms is great... and will definitely help on official launch... All my friends who pre-ordered with me agreed on a realm after the initial server listing post.
Those people who have already started building characters and character bound some of the bonus material don't want to move realms. (Understandably.)
But with a full time job plus courses, 4+ hour waits to attempt to play with friends is not really going to be a long-term option.
 
Not trying to harsh the vibe. Love the game content. The devs & programmers are definitely stepping up to a very big plate. And it's much appreciated.

Just so you are aware of ongoing issues: I sat through a 20 min or so queue where it said "guest accounts are lower priority". Don't know if this is saying it thinks I have a guest account but this is headstart, there should be no guest accounts playing I would think. Also, after I waited for the queue I now have a blank interface and cannot see my character.
 
Keep up the good work. The problems are worth it. Its an awesome game.
 
Edit: 2nd try I got to my character with no problem or wait

			STILL FLAGGED AS A GUEST WHEN I LOGIN..WHEN I CLEARLY OWN THE GAME AND HAVE AN ACTIVE SUB...DAMN YOU CARBINE..FIX THIS PROBLEM..	
----
			
Having worked in level 2/3 support, I can guarantee you that the Carbine team is scrambling.   While I would like to play, and I do keep trying to log in,  I'm betting that most of the issues is just coming down to the fact that the servers are overloaded.  
 
You can test, and test, and test and test....But nothing is like production.   Betas can look great, things can go smooth with them.  But sometimes production has wrinkles that no one ever thought of.   Plus, I'll bet there are many many users who never were on the beta, any beta.  
 
So you have a popular game, more users that you had initially planned.    Now they are seeing the holes that the beta didn't show. 
 
Nothing is fool-proof, fools are too creative.  
 
reminds me of old patch days in WoW.  But Blizz had millions of subscrbers and dollars to fix the issue.  Carbine and NCsoft will get there,. if the game is compelling enough, these types of issues will be brought under control.  But it's going to take time and money.   Right now, they are in their infancy, relative to other MMOs.
 
So, I'll keep dos'ing the server, like everyone else.  and pray eventually I may get in.  If not,  I know I will in time.  
 
Keep up the good fight Carbine and NCsoft!  I been in your shoes in other capacities,  it's hard to get crap done when everyone is screaming at you.  But you'll get there.  
 
Now back to my login issues...
 
Meech

FIX IT
 
 
Players are treated as Guest and not placed into queues correctly​ 
SHIT
 
5 hours wainting to log in game is a bad joke.	
----
			
ISSUE: When I log in, I'm taken to a server of low population. (Zhur, which is not my own). When I then try to change server it simple goes to the realms list, without displaying any servers at all, instead it gives me this message: "Network Status: Retrieving realms list" (with the hamster wheel running eternally) 
 
If I click on any of the parameters for searching, (mine, pvp, rp) The top left box is filled with the text: "Welcome to Wildstar Cupcake! Exciting realms [...]".
 
Is there any known fixes for this? More information: At first the issue happened on and off, not really persisting (11pm - 12pm GMT +1)  But ever since I was in a long queue for 3 hours, where I ended up with an empty UI (and attempted to alt+f4 to fix) I got kicked to another server (Zhur, as before mentioned, with low population) and became unable to use the realms list ever since. 
 
Hypotese:
Perhaps Carbine made the realms list like this themselves, to prevent people from moving over to the overpopulated servers as a temporary solution. If so, can this be con- or defirmed? If so, I'd atleast stop wasting time and just go do something else, instead of keeping my hopes up every time i re-open the realms list, and instead just wait for news from Carbine.

the 1st day of head start didn't count for me and i paid for it . 
so what now?
stop joking around with your paying costumers.	
----
			Hey Carbine, appreciate you adding to the known issue list, but many of us are still living with the Client version does not match the game server version issue monster. Really had to feel like you're aware of this when it isn't on the list	
----
			
Thats when I prepurchased the game.
 
I dunno what you mean by uest accounts are those that have pre order codes but have yet upgraded their accounts to full or deluxe
 
but I have a subscrption and that should be the full game, standard edition.

It's day 1 of the Wildstar early access launch and I'm... http://youtu.be/FwzxwsBEftk ...not in  <_<

			I'm confused about their list, did they or did they not fix the Bag of Awesomeness?

Carbine, do you guys understand that these issues are the same?
{| class="blockquote"
Hi all,
 
We are currently investigating and tracking the following issues.
 
Players are unable to view Realm List/Enter RealmsUPDATE (FIX): We believe this issue has now been fixed and players can view the Realm List.
STILL ONGOING. Sadly this issue is still affecting someplayers and we are attempting to fix
​...
*NEW* Some players are reporting that they are stuck on the Zhur Realm.NEW We have an ongoing investigation open on this issue.

			Yo, where did my bag of awesomeness go ?? I want my shiiit...

			I was able to redeem rewards earlier today, but after logging out for a few hours my bag of awesome went missing. It's no longer equipped and I can't redeem a new one since it's locked and says I already claimed it. I may not be that far into the game yet, but I really don't want to restart my character so I can grab the bag again.	
----
			Zhur prisoner reporting, cougar spoke few min ago on the twitch stream and he said they're working on a patch and acknowledged the server list issue on EU. Let's hope it get's fixed so we can finally start complaining about queues and guest flagging :D 	
----
			Just so that it doesn't get lost on the other thread I had issues all day getting the blank character bug and I tried everything, it turns out it was my third party firewall as I temporary disabled it and it got me to the char selection ok and ingame!! worth a try if you just do it temporary to test.

Hello,
 
Bag of awesomeness has disappeared and so has the item i had received from my boombox... did some Chua mofo jack my shiat while I was having dinner?

			Still experiencing the Guest que message... been in que for 4.5 hours so far...

Some users are reporting they are being placed in a guest queue when trying to log into the game.Update: We are currently investigating this and may have a solution.
NEW Hotfix in progress
 
 
LAST UPDATE: 3:00PM PDT - added new issues and status
----
			Still have an issue with reserved names.  Did not change e-mail.  You say this is fixed, but it isn't.  	
----
			Would be good if you even acknowledged that the launcher doesn't allow new zealanders to patch past 6710 to 6710.6 or the newer hotfix	
----
			To be quite honest this is bad i was on at 9am fine i logged off, to go out to dinner and its like yeah cant play my toon as cant select a realm, seeing as ive been waiting for this game for over a month and this and now the EU team left work what happened to the day's where people worked to reslove a problem :~( job done then you go home :( come on Carbine i expected a lot , we all know a new mmo will have issues but this is no small one	
----
			Just want to add that the "Client Version does not match Server Version" is still a problem for us in new zealand =/ , really does suck no getting to play. And i really do not think its on our side cause without a vpn NO ONE IN NZ HAS BEEN ABLE TO PLAY :(	
----
			I would like to know how it is possible to not know how many pre-ordered customers there are and how you don't have at least that much room available in both pve and pvp at launch and then trim down if need be.  It seems that these companies never learn from each other.  Sad.

			Like many other people the imprisonment on zhur is making my head spin =	
----
			yeah when I exit out of the que, and quit the game it tries putting me on a different server.  I do not want a different server you stupid idiots.  I have decided what server I want to play so quit trying to trick me into playing another one because I am not dooing that, FFS.	
----
			
this is insane. its 13 hours passed and i cant get a server list from zhur. 
i cant create a char. i cant change server. i cant do anything.	
----
			
the problem is not only the queue, the real problem is after you wait for 7-8  hours and finally enter, the character dont load, that happened to me twice, there are any plan of expand the server capacity ? 
 
if not, why allow to roll ppl in the server and not put a max ?	
----
			
Don't know if anyone has also noticed, but some of the Deluxe Items awarded (Bag of Awesomeness) and the Biometric Eyepiece vanish after a relog / crash - if you  have anything inside the bag ... gone also.
 
The eye piece you can rebind to your account but the bag is gone forever? and all gear inside????

			stuck in a loading screen after i pick the character i wanna use was able to play him a bit this morning now i can't 	
----
			Still getting the blank character screen after getting through the queue.... 4th time now and none of the "fixes" have worked for me. I also get dumped back into the queue if I close the client.	
----
			I am still forced to NA region, applied code week ago... still cant access EU, can play on US... and frankly If i dont get this done by tomorrow i am going to play Darksouls 2 instead and Fk WS, I had so much hopes in this project...

dear diary it is now day 58 in this hellhole.
i think the server guards are onto my plan to escape!
i hope they don't catch me
if they do i leave my diary here in the toilet, no1 would search my my garbage there!!
wish me luck diary!

			Can not connect to ncsoft login services, Havent even been able to get past the log in screen for a couple hours.....	
----
			14hours now and still no answer on the invalid account issues and the EU-NA bouncing.	
----
			Still being placed incorrectly in queue as a guest.	
----
			Just now: Crashed to desktop after clicking on a gold seller to report spam. Logged back in and my bag of awesomeness is no more. I cannot reclaim it.	
----
			2 or more hour ques for the people who paid for head start. This is very, very, annoying. Those who pre-order and want to get in on the head start waiting for 2 or more hours on realm being full is a huge fail. If you go to football game with box seats and then told to wait in end of line to the ticket booth there would be issues.

			Most certainly still listed as guest account. I relogged and now I am 1899 in queue and red text saying Guest Accounts get lower priority. And here I am with a 8 hour queue time.	
----
			
Well I finally managed to login to the game, now that my client version matches game version
 
However; the 7 hour wait to play is bloody ridiculous!  Headstart for those means you can log in and wait 3 days to play.   :angry:
