While Star Wars: The Old Republic has been heralded as the next big MMO for gamers to go to, it appears that just a few too many are going into the MMO for the servers to handle. In fact, so many people are playing that nearly everyone who wants to sign in and play their character has to wait in a queue before they can even access their server.
BioWare has heard the consumers’ problems and executive producer of live services Jeff Hickman has stated that “While we can’t promise that there won’t ever be queues, we can promise you that we are taking this matter seriously and constantly reviewing them to make sure that they are manageable and reasonable.” It is a bit disheartening that they are running in to issues already, but having a problem where too many people want to play your game sounds like a blessing BioWare wasn’t ready to accept.
