Oh !
You're not on Virgin are you? I know they had a big hiccup 1 or 2 weeks ago where it was a nightmare connecting to sites located outside the uk. They resolved it then but maybe a reoccurance?

Well, despite my complaining earlier in the thread, I did finally manage to get logged on after around a 3 hour wait last night.
I'm going to have to admit to changing my opinion of this game a bit, I hated this game when I beta tested it, I hated it because of the lack of invert on the mouse controls (which is sorted now), but also because I wanted to hate it a bit, I was still a bit narked at NCSoft for cancelling Tabula Rasa, not very mature I know, but that was the second game they've made and then cancelled (I was also a big fan of Auto Assault). So lets just say I'm not the biggest fan of NCSoft and I go into this game being a bit suspicous and wondering how long it will last. Still, at least they gave me the collectors edition for free
for cancelling TR.
Anyway, despite trying my hardest to find as many faults as possible, I found myself having a stupid amount of fun last night. Sure the game does very little new, but it is very polished and fun to play which I guess is the main thing. I only managed to get up to level 8 which is around the same level I got to in Beta, so right now I'm trying to stay realistic. I've been here too many times before where initially an MMO seems great but later on it turns out to be rubbish. I'm a bit worried about how the PvP will work out in this game seeing as how I tend to avoid it where possible, but I think I'm going to stick with this game for a bit.
The only problem I have now is finding the time to play This, Fallen Earth and Champions Online

Thats probably going to be your biggest issue, especially given the PvP slant the game has.
At this point there isnt too much that can be done about it. It doesnt help that so many people picked to go on the same server, as an example..probably 7 out of 10 webbased votes I saw had people picking to go to Spatalos (thankfully we avoided it
). Conversely, hardly anyone was picking to go on Perento.Having said that, they could do with opening..maybe another 2 servers (no more than that please otherwise we will end up with a WAR/AoC situation at the end of 30 days when the populations drop). Another 2 I think would do nicely, although I doubt it would help the servers with the crazy high populations at the moment because hardly anyone will move and the people coming in would still want to go on the higher ones.
Always a tough one for MMO companies in regards to servers at release. Damned if they do, damned if they dont quite often.
Launch time yesterday i was in a queue of 1800 - took only 20 minutes to get in because the server was empty to begin with.
Rgiht now ive been waiting 45mins to get in and im currently 855/1963 which is apparently another 1h11mins.
Lag/DC/hour long queues lol oh its all good fun.
Which server is that? I've just logged in , no queue at all, straight in on our server.
spatolos or w/e its called.
Ah yeah...thats stacked full that server. One of the reasons we avoided it. Probably going to get big queues on there for a little while yet.
In a queue of over 2000 to get into spacktolos.
Might roll on another server, what on earth has made this server so popular?
ocuk guild and our guild are on there + russians and its similarity to the name sparta lol
Edit im almost in and watch me still have huge lag

Not sure really..does seem that everyone and their dog decided to go there. Weird the way that happens because its no different to any other server. I remember when WoW initially launched and there were big queues because so many went for the same server, same thing happened in War and now Aion. People do tend to clump together on the same server, you might have thought they'd of learned by now to spread themselves out a little bit.
