>>8826907hopefully archeage will be the perfect mmo
the launch thing is pretty unavoidable i believe. hype around something new means that servers need to handle 10x what their normal load and is exaggerated massively by the fact that once a queue builds up it's very likely to keep growing so it's really a waste of resources to set up infrastructure to handle it when nobody will ever see a queue time after the first couple of days
i suppose you could waste all those resources as a sort of PR stunt to be that mmo with a flawless launch but honestly i don't think the average user would even be aware that it isn't the norm and dedicated users are likely to play once things settle down anyway so there doesn't really seem to be a point
