It was an UPDATE that made the game F2P. Thats it.
 
A relaunch by definition means the game was shut off.  Was done. It failed and the doors was closed.  Then later with funding etc they was able to "Re-Launch" the game and give it to the masses.
That is NOT what happened.
 
 
What happened was simple. Like any other game update, client and server sides both got new content and it was applied like any other patch.   Things brought down, updated, and game brought back online.
 
No true RE-Launch.   But its getting annoying watching ppl keep referencing a Re-Launch when this is not what truly happened.

			Truth.

According to the OP, this actually makes things worse. Bad launches are commonplace in MMOs.
 
But no MMO has ever had a simple "patch" that has been this bad.

			Oh damn it's the Semantics Police! Everyone scatter!

			A FUBAR by any other name would smell as sweet...	
----
			It sounds more impressive than "the F2P patch."	
----
			FF14 relaunched, and never actually shut down.

You might not call it relaunch but the effects are the same:
A lot of ppl trying to log in at the very same moment, a lot of things are brand new on live servers.

It's not just the f2p patch. Revamp statsRevamp runes
Revamp items
Revamp UI
Bunch of things made easier for casuals
 
Enough changes to make it feel more than just an update that made the game free. I can see why people consider it a relaunch. So many changes and a very large pile of new people trying to get in.

			It's a pretty large patch. Also it might have something to do with the thousands of people trying to login.

			Well carbine isn't the best with words.. Just like their "megaserver" is just some cool word for "low population, shut down all servers except one and put all shit on that one".

As someone who played that game since it's original launch I can say without a doubt that they indeed have had the exact same issues as Wildstar upon their relaunch. It also took them a couple weeks to balance the network traffic after relaunch.. Get your facts straight.
