Punched play, got message, no server available for your character. Standard SOE. "All servers are up" is chronically wrong when coming immediately after any server downtime. Just log in again, rinse and repeat. Sometime today it will be right.

I can wait but I really don't understand why they just didnt give the launch more breathing room. Say you think it'll be done at 6am, for arguments sake. Actually schedual launch 2-3 maybe 4 hours after. Just in case something goes wrong like it did today. It'd be more fair and professional, really. It's ok that problems happen and can be unexpected but planning ahead and being precautionary with launch times is really important, I think. I had a feeling this would happen, a lot of the time the estimated times they throw out for servers to come up are wrong. No reason not to give it an extra hour or so, that way people arent waiting and then dissapointed.

If you were Sony and you knew that the number of players logging on at the same instant was sure to crash you servers what would you do to prevent it? You would probably queu up the logins. What scheme would you use to sequence the logins? What would you tell the players that ended up queued for a long time?

The "missing asset" is usually a file that did not get included in the download, or is the wrong file for that patch.My download completed while ago, but still getting the EQ2 crash error missing asset, so I assume that they are still working on finding out what file(s) went bonkers.

I watched and interacted the entire webcast, emailed them my 3 answers, etc. Not once PRIOR to 9am did they say anything about servers having "asset" issues. It was 9:02am when the person off screen said, they were having technical issues.So this leads me to believe that once again SOE never tested anything prior to 9am, should have realized that they had an "asset" problem prior, and then expects people to just stay at their keyboards for the next 6 hours hoping to login.Should I have bought some station cash prior to 9am that I wasn't aware of?

Technically it works this way:If an EU player switch to US the patcher makes a new subfolder with a name like EQ"_US_BLA_BLA (don't remember the exact name) and copies roughly 90 percent of the existing installation into this subfolder and downloads the rest which is different.What Eugan thinking is a "rollback" is in fact a second patch after switching the region. This means each installation must be patched seperate. Most players with different installations do not notice the multiple patching because it's so fast after the first region patching.

In other words, it's a problem "outside of our house". We didn't know it was an issue until about we tried a specific test during the last-pass smoketest, patching a game the "real" way.Which is, of course, why we have that check in our list so that we don't go Live and find it the hard way.

Also the tradeskill mounts look different from the adventure mounts. To my knowledge there is no flying mount for sc excluding the bats (which there is also a quest for to learn how to fly.

This game, expansion is well worth the wait... (its hard but worth it) I've played tons of other MMOs and none compare in my eyes, the folks that play, the depth and breadth, the choices when you login ... not just quest or grind but so much more... Just wanted to put that out there...Hee hee

The issue is why did it take until last minute 9am before catching this. You should have not waited AND announced it in the webcast. Amerys at 10 minutes to the hour specifically said it would be up. Somebody should have been in the room communicating with the testing prior to launch. Like NASA does.
