totally understandable. I agree they shouldnt have made all you new players link their accounts this way. But you definitely could have. But honestly, how was anyone supposed to know that beforehand.... either way every MMO has launch issues and I am sure they will iron them out over the next day or 2 and then we can all have a chat with honest feedback to the team so they can understand what they fucked up
THE BOSS HAS A SECOND PHASE?
Chats moving so fast nobody knows I killed an ate a man in 2012 outside of Dundalk Maryland

40 euro sneak peak 🙂
you did what? I cant keep up with chat
EVERY CHALLENGE IS A GROWING OPPORTUNITY
If they would have allowed preorder threw steam they might have been better prepared for this moment
I had an account. You could not link them prior unless you were a tester. I tried.
chil chill chillll
steam does not allow preorder of early acess or pre download apparently but they may have been lying of course
not every mmo has launch issues. I will be honest, this is pretty harsh to not even create accounts. At least others you could create accounts. Also Destiny 2 is probably one of the best in history. Smoothest Launch.
In the end, they know now. They should have let people pre buy and pre load, they should have let people make accounts from steam prior too. But thats part of the learning process after all. They know now.
chill its scheduled
Anyone else a warden? Or a dirty goblin?
EVERYONE CALM THE FUCK DOWN
I know we're all here refreshing and making memes at this. I will say it's a bit alarming this hasn't been fixed yet.
its about taste, not presentation XD its nummy nummy. the parmesan on top doesn't add to the look but its nice
Well I'll be damned! Thanks for correcting me! I will use this info going forward 🙂
Can we all enter a voice chat instead and talk this out?
I'm for one alarmed
Is it even worth to play now that there's such a huge headstart by guilds who have already played previous tests? They are all like lvl10+ now and can pully the rest of the server when we finally get access? Terrible outlook?
It's alpha getting ahead means nothing
well at least is a change from the bad gateway
yes they do.. where are you getting this info? You can preorder Early Access games. Its upto the devs
Brother, people will always be ahead of you no matter what.
@useless dev live stream by intrepid
i cant believe it , ive been here for hours now and i cant get in because of the website error . this is not a good look for the game
Cloudfront giving 403 errors now
We just need to band together to level. We'll be like 30man raids questing, just so these scrubs that been playing can't farm us. 😂
How do I get past the 504 gateway page?
They already confirmed that there will be multiple resets during Alpha and Beta with one final full wipe of everyone's progress when teh game fully launches. So yes there's still a point in playing noiw.
Just leave a negative review on Steam and get your money back.
press alt+f4
Yeah they stated they weren't letting people link accounts prior to release to help "streamline" and so everybody wasnt trying to log in at once. So instead of that their website crashed. Genius
OH Brother, this guy stinks
Fair enough if Destiny 2 was nice and smooth. Kudos to them! No matter what I can definitely say as someone who has casually tested this game for several years now off and on..... this team takes feedback well. They make improvements. They are active in the community. And honestly they will definitely take this as a learning opportunity and do better. Even if I end up not liking the end product, I can say the team is pretty cool and they listen to their players and learn.
I will probably just stop believing anything they say @strange steeple
Funny thing is these big streamers could not get in they messaged a dev and got in, funny that 😆
"Big Streamers"
so what classes are you guys planning on playing when the game comes out in 2034?
guys open 20 tabs on the server all at once and spam F5 until it lets you in i just linked my steam
This is one of those people that has a literal shit bucket beside their chair
Grey win?
Instead of complaining about the game, you sit and wait to reply to my messages?
seemed a pretty weird lie though given it would be found out immediately when this happened @strange steeple
incredible work to run 3 maintenance periods and make the auth process worse each time. a few more and west coast should be off work trying to log in too
Exactly what i did 🙂
lol
I was pretty patient for the first 4 hours lol
you can believe them, its just there is a LOT of beaurocracy involved with releases. There is also a LOT of misinformation
I've complained already, I dont need to advertise to everyone else to leave a bad review. If I wanted to i would just leave the review and leave the chat
is the darkening deep quest just not working atm?
Steven is a nice person trying his hardest
I tried this and I think Cloudfront thought I was DDOsing or something and now blocks all attempts lol
is the website still down? i can't link steam profile lol
504 Gateway Time-out - my game
make sure you try to link through the launcher
so im not the only one who website will not work??
Do what you want. And I do what I want. I want the developer to see that they released a raw product and, instead of taking money, start working on their own product.
is it still down?
Great time for a nap.
Brother they literally said it was a raw product the hell are you talking about.
How do you even get the launcher without the website?
Have you not seen the past 4 hours of chat?
Imagine refunding the game because you're too stupid to even research that it's still Alpha testing, then also proceeding to sit in the discord of the game you refunded and complain about it not working still
website is up but is handing out 504s
link using this blue button not the website directly
Thats exactly what im doing, ur the one trying to make people do what u want
Almost 2 hrs played because of looking at this
I assumed you were a fellow steam user, no idea without steam
just says failed to fetch user profile?
yaaaaass EXACTLY!
Did we get the website early access adition?
What keybindings do experienced players recommend for my controller i havent played the game yet, so i need some guidance
You HAVE to use steam to launch the game -
I bought the Alpha 2 for $150, so I dunno how to get the Steam client without linking through the website first...lol
Unless I buy the game again
nope its just you, they're trying to gaslight you don't fall for it
unless you happen to already have owened the game bfore the steam launch of course
that just takes me to the website though LOL
if server fixed send DM to @mortal pier , he pay you 10$ 😂
398 in queue
I couldnt tell you. It is just 100% upto to the dev to allow preloading/pre purchase. Steam wants you to have "a playable game" for early access, but it is possible
The only way is linking the accounts
Which one?
must be playing in the Riverlands
god evening.. just wondring i have been in this discord for years now ans still a newcomer xD
Right, I guess if I was a nerd about it I could buy the game, download the launcher, link, and then refund? lol
im going to hurt myself
@aemeris well it doesn't actually work either to be fair but that is the intended way.
Welcome to Alpha I guess
newbie
how do we change the camera speed / camera sensitivity?
Lyneth, gateway to the riverlands
doesnt matter though @golden tulip we are here now. we patiently wait to be allowed to play. Lets continue to see how Inteprid handles it. It hopefully wont be too much longer
Id like to know what Steven has to say about this fiasco
excuse me steven?
waffle blah blah rubbish great sounding scheme
i don't like to be a newbie after many years xD think they forget to fix up accounts or they have a rank system here xD
bet bro already bought a new car
omg a new oneeee
My dream is to become mayor of a town then tax the poor and give to the rich, I call it The American Dream
3THD PHASE?
ooo new error GET THE MEMES GOING
nice I hope someone is putting together a powerpoint
hopefully they fix the site. 26k people is not really high in an mmo world.
🤣
like 300k people wishlished the game and then they sent them all to their website
Great stress test all. See ya'll next month.
what if they're all high tho?
guys are we the ddos attack?
its not even full release.

Devs trying to figure out what's going wrong with the Steam Linking service.
yeah but with steamcharts we can get a really good estimate on the number of users attempting atm.
Well is their website not fully released then or what?
how long does it take check the autoscaling box in aws?
If anyone is interested in robot bridge the card game DM me for my discord link
Wake me up, when maintenance ends 
new boss
lol do u got a bot scanning for it to come back?
REQUEST BLOCKED
is account linking not fixed yet?
Switching browsers fixed that error for me lmao
- 1st Hour cannot link account
- 2nd hour cannot
queue after restarting client - 3rd hour launcher stops even attempting to try linking and asks me if Im logged into the correct Steam account
- 4th hr back to 504 timeout on account link and website down for "Scheduled (LOL) maintenance
- 5th hour 403 error (to add some spice)
i blamed @eager monolith for spamming too much
i know ^_^ some one has to have an iq above 50 in their office people write code in there.
how do we change the camera speed / camera sensitivity?
They need to update there early access guide on X to show this process and how to defeat it
their website is clearly a huge bottleneck
4,35h in and we r getting some improvement 504 to 502 to 403 I see a clear improvement, tomorrow we'll be at 203 if we hustle
I honestly feel so bad for the team getting trashed for the issues. Like everyone expected a seemless launch on an MMO. pffff

I'm fixing to staple my nuts to the floor, and jump as high as i can, if they do not fix this website
Haha really good actually
u right but this is rly annoying u COULD PLAY easily if u just COULD get on website to LINK steam account
You won't do it
What's this game my wife now? AM I RIGHT?
damn ur hot
Who even is this guy with these strings omg
i cant pass this boss
NEARLY 5 HRS IN AND STEAM CANNOT BE LINKED
anyone else getting 403s?
I beat the boss error 504 and got to the boss error 403 now. Insane gameplay
is Group Invite bugged?
Hey all, we’re aware of issues with the website and Steam connection. We’re working on it, and getting this fixed up is our #1 priority right now.
https://discord.com/channels/256164085366915072/502926268967157770
Guess i should´ve become a streamer. Every streamer is playing xD
Just got out of surgery, can we play now? 👀
good ol cloudfire
I didn't expect a seamless launch, I did expect to be able to log in though. I feel like that's not asking much
lol
they switched the website off now, problem solved
most of them probalby had game before and alrdy linked so they just can enter the game
We successfully deleted game's web page from existence
alright ima take a break from stream and disc to get some food but be back later, for all you haters take a chill pill and not everything is about you and for all the rest, hope website comes up and yall get a great gaming experience and thank you for the fun! see you in verra in a few hours!
nice , whats the tool ?
I'm guessing this is an issue for anyone who bought the game on steam today? I linked my account days ago.
seems a bit unfair no?
you just needed to alreay have bought game and linked before steam launch and have decent download speed and it was easy
Thanks for saving me and my dog from the fire the other day, and for the 100k loan
wasnt that 5 hours ago ?
?????
Sure but im not paying 100+ to test a game
Anyone else having this problem?
yarp
depends. Content creators drive hype and get interest. They are an investment. We know first hand cetain content creators got bypassed for it. But this is a business of the modern Gaming era. Streamers get priority
Basicly still a closed alpha just now theyve aquired more funds
where are my 5 mounts of compensation
I linked my account early as well and still had the issue at first. but I am sure it will get fixed soon
No you are the only one, never saw this error
Sounds good.
omg the 3rd boss!!! 403 error!!! lets gooooo
and did they put a gun to your head to pay the 100?
thanks for communication but dear god what is going on
Who tryna send me feet pics to distract me from not playing?
@mottoguy sorry sarcasm didn't come through in my text
WHY DO U EVEN NEED WEBSITE CONNECTION IF WE ALREADY BOUGHT GAME IN STEAM?
@mighty knoll lets hope its the final encounter
omg 4 ours late, and nothing
use caps more. you'll get in faster.
AYYYYYY... whats everyone looking forward to specifically for game mechanics? I'm personally excited by oldschool ruinyourlifescape mechanics coming back to a modern MMO. Whats your take? :D
You uh not read the comment I was replying to or?
thats what i am getting
i'm unlucky guy 😩
Because theyre going to charge a monthly subscription to play
#REMOVE WEBSITE CONNECTION REQUERIMENT
4 hours later and the hotdog in my ass is finally warm
maybe for christmas we'll get to create an account
sounds like whats goin on is website and steam connection issues boss
if you guys dont fix it in 30 mins im refunding
womp womp
I don't understand why people feel the need to express their views on how others are spending $$ on an Alpha, however much it may be. Like, let people spend their money how they want. If you don't want to; thats great! Don't do it! Just move on!
They probably can't change the way we authenticate now

website is loading fine for me but the account settings arent 😄
I made it all the way to signing in to steam to link before 503 error
Just win the cost of the game back with this parlay
its been real folks.... but I am down to single digit que so Ima go on and enjoy the game now.
the request could not be satisfied to the request could not be satisfied
godspeed
you prob saw it forward to the base website. The base website is fine, its the authentication website that is down
At least not without turning the servers off
Yall ever have a really good day and its so good you know nothing could ever make it bad? Then you think about Artax and Atreyu in the swamp and how he tried hard to save Artax even though he couldnt leading him to leave his friend to die?
Smite this person. DO IT
They're probably just working on getting the website stable. You have angry nerds with 100 tabs open spamming refresh on all of them bogging their shit down
poop i thought I was making progress
anyone watch the new jjk movie?
more like 100k
there gonna be a oceanic server or nay?
Just tag me next time bud. I dont give a shit someone paid more. If you would read the comment I was replying to he said how it was easy to just buy the game prior and link accounts. I was saying that I'm not paying that just to be able to log into a game. Thats all. Not sure why youre getting your panties twisted
hold on they got a point they intentionally DDOS'd their own server by a sub optimal reqirement that my blind dog could have seen comming
progress will be when its up. you will see people go wild here and probably a tag in #web-maintenance .
this
Wich ERROR next - VOTING Started ⬇️
Makes sense. Who is really getting their panties in a twist tho?
there will be. the question is whether it will work or not?
and I was being sarcastic anyway
I mean I'm not complaining about people complaining. Just stating that it wasnt as "easy" as he was saying.
405
you obviously, need to relax buddy
403
Man its always the same hahah nice experience 😄
206
425 is crazy - TOO EARLY xd
I think the next boss is 416 "RANGE NOT SATISFIABLE"
Looks like they might be limiting parts of the sign up and linking process. Linking is completely disabled, logging in is disabled but you can register an account no problem on the website
Nearing the 5 hour mark. From maintenace page to 403 error 
Is there a symbol you can add to your text for sarcasm ? I usually just add a smiley face but I thought it was so obviously this time I didn't bother ?
WE CAN HELP THEM STOP TESTING CONNEXION
oof I was SO close. I put my email in.
WTB a hot fart in my mouth whilst waiting on this website
I do support the devs and im not ignorant enough to put a negative steam review over this but we are pushing 5 hours soon with this being down guys I feel like a lot of this shouldve been more thought out before this release honestly, I will be patient and wait to play the game because I do think the game is good etc but just not a good look.
lol, been trying to confirm my email address for hours
This is the only thing working lol
everyone just stop trying to sign in, and let me in 🙂
im past 2 hours on steam and want to refund can i still get a refund processed
I'm sure they are working non-stop to get it resolved...I'd be highly surprised if they weren't.
After the 4 hours of waiting, no more refund lololololol im playing either way but its funny asf
HUGE
That honestly gave me like 12 mins of patients bandwith
im 8 mins away from 2 hours of the game being open

New one
why are games the one product on earth we have to buy broken? we dont buy cars that dont run for a few weeks and wait for them to be fixed or a broken phone that have to wait for an update b4 we can use it,just an observation
It is a fun game, im waiting no matter what. But they should have prepared better than this.
nah you are just slow we all had that 20 mins ago
I have no doubt they are as well just a bit frustrating haha esp pushing 5 hours. Like I said im going to wait as I support the game and think its a good game just feels a bit underprepared I guess
cars don't run on networks my guy
i have let my pure anger and rage carry me until the game awards, so I will check back again afterward. if its not fixed, I will get involved
e33 awards
ur misssing the point my guy
let's make a guild in the meantime
Funny thing, cars do run on networks. They are called roads...or the circuitry inside the cpus that power most of the electronics on board or how the engine works
probly they take most
504 vs 403 guild war
try selling 50k cars at once tell me how good that works
WoW players DDOS ashes of creation
Anyone know how I'm supposed to gain access to the server channels here? I'm loading a character into Lyneth and I'd like to be able to post in there.
Its possible you just go to the junk yard with them all
the only guild i'm in is the one where I get sick of waiting to play and they find out I've guild myself
point is u dont buy broken products but we always have to with games
But this is like selling those cars without giving the new owners their keys
I endured Mortal Online 2 release and AoC Steam release is smooth af to be honest :D
man it was loading for me and then you shared this fucking image and my thing timed out to this. 🙁
na this one too xdddddddddd
lol obvs true but you know that's not where i was going with it
Press
for if you are a 504 or
if you are a 403
Well, the first time a company sells 50k cars in an hour the following release would see dealerships looking to fix whatever bottlenecks occured to stop them from selling 100k cars. Its a silly analogy
relax its gonna be in alpha for like another 10 years 1 day wont matter
how has it only gotten worse 
Your dollars look weird bro. I wouldn't press any buttons
lmao
Good tutorial on websites, can I play now?
Pick your guild folks
you're a silly analogy
We are alpha testing the website atm
at this point, they should just use the money they made today and buy New World
seconded
NW beta was fine just needs an endgame
whats goody wage slaves and button clickers, i cant log in 😢
Eh I do try to be one. I'm here to play the game and I will play the game once this is all sorted out. People are entitled to be upset about this though.
I am sure dev's reading chat is laughing there asses off too, at least we are having fun all together
i wish could play...
Only 9 minutes left to break the world record, 5 hours of (apparently) unsolvable problems for a SITE. LESSGO TEAM
25k people who bought it for about $30? thats about 750k
doing nothing for 5 hours feels like a good way to spend the day taken off of work
new world 2.0 ?
This is fun for you?
.
Add Harbingers for starters to NW
thirded
this is the truth. I understand the launch was never going to be perfect. But launch was 5 hours ago, and all anyone has done is create an account.
I cant event play another game, keep constantly checking to see if i can join!!
Especially since the 403 error just went away for me and we're back to the can't fetch profile information
We are nearing end game!!!
to be clear , this isnt an issue with the game , it is an issue with linking your steam ID to Intrepid's account
trust me the devs are not laughing, they spent 10 years and millions of dollars on this game, they need it to be sucessful
Failed to fetch user profile
I've waited 8 years to play this game, what's another day or 2 wait 😏
Failed to fetch user profile
yes, you can still refund if needed. Steam allows for technical issues or account related issues (no bans) to qualify for a refund beyond 2 hours. You just need to contact support.
welp cant login atm .. might aswell go out for supper and have a few beers then try again later 😄
forget the stupid fishing
8 year olds should not be on discord, im tellin ur mommy
i have had that so many times in the last 5 hrs
mommy is that you!?
😭
Any new news on when the site will come back up?
it came back up 5 minutes ago

omg its validating steam connection
i got that far a cpl of times

Type shit? hmu
Once we get in theyll have massive queues and will have to spin up more
Displays "You're the man" and disconnects you
It usually is you cant login because the server is full at launch etc. But inderctly getting your own website ddosed is kinda new AHAHA
LET ME FCKING LOG IN THIS WEBSITE PLS
@devs I am sure this is feeling insane. I can imagine the stress you all are under. Sending heals. 🙂
Eager to try.
Hey, I'm in
What is my life 
So close!
im in a endless load screen of death
and they're callin this EA? thats beautiful

Here we go again...
so i was able to play 2hours i say this was a succes (no joke did expect worse)
join join go go go
iv'e gotten to that page twice, still was never able to login
502
ok gonna try 7 tabs
Anybody knows why i cant open those loot boxes?
Omg the refresh worked!!!

Some of y'all have never seen an MMO launch and it shows
bait
Go to a different chat gang. This chat is for people that can't play
I'm down to 502 on the queue
See yall in game!!!
captain claimed he could link but not seen anyone else @quaint arch
How can I satisfy you sexy little shit
The price of Ashes of Creation in my country is only $19 — did the developer make a mistake?
Regional
Tbf I've at least been to the log in screen within 5 hours of any MMO launch
I found the character creater, thank you to the other user for showing it works
TBF its 2026 and we have Ai and a bunch of tools that can make these types of launches easier and yet here we are
its a numbers game for me now
I failed once with a game before this to get to login screen at all, but it had worked perfectly in beta which was odd.
@sudden hill well, you must not have played
Albion, terra, mortal, archeage, darkfall, bless ect ext ext
use a new thing that thing was already used
guys my mom said you have to let me play
My game is loading now.
Thats what they want you to think
Could get to the login on at least three of those within the first couple hours lol. Just not the game itself
Everyone knows unless you are lucky, you ain't playing the first 13 hours
i blame amazon
WE DONE IT
byebye , shits
It got me to the steam page and decided to 504
did you just try over and over again?

LETS GOOOOO
They taking forever fixing this website wtf
im in bro
gzzzzzz
doesnt work for me
how many sign in attempts did it take yall to stop getting bad gateway errors
That's exactly why the site is down... relax and let them get it sorted.
You just spammed link account?
why is it working for some but not all?
so exactly 2 people have now logged in
Ive been patient for 5 hours, playing the numbers game now
not working for me
come ooooooon
time-out ... shit
We're undergoing scheduled maintenance

there was an option for giving a tip at checkout, did you do that?
after character creation, another que 😄
Just leave a negative review on Steam and get your money back.
maintenance is scheduled again
and again
damn i saw my account and again error
pushing 5 hours of this shit im getting annoyed man
still on that 504 shiz
Bro WtF ahhhhhhhhhghhhhhhh
dang was working for a second
5 hours in and we are back to the scheduled maintenance screen. Lets goooooo
dang it guess i aint playing today o0
Yeah this actually sucks how is it this bad
mom said you have to let me play or else its the belt again
Ok I'm giving up good luck guys hope the game is good and you get in
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Imagine servers are working, steam is ok, but you cannot make your own site to work.
lets see mom belt might be ok
This is crazy bad
Yeh I give up too, waste of time
well the whales who bought the game at the 1st test now get the reward of 5-6-10h og gameplay in advance :))
my mom is serena williams
they actually were letting people in, had to shut the servers down again.
5 hours
p2w 
i heard godaddy offers competitive website pricing
lame. i got to steam login logged in than now cant access page lol
ya this is getting crazy WOW was made in 5 years with worse tech
we should honestly be seeing this as a good thing in the long term lol at least people wanna play
steam is even showing up for me in that account linking list on the website WHEN i am lucky enough to get that far.. it only shows discord
It's an alpha.. nothing is p2w because it will be wiped lol
thats partly why it was made in 5 years too though
I mean in all fairness this still happens on wow lol
Wow looks like shit though
p2w means pay to wait
i saw that too but then realized it logged me out of my account lol. so that might be why
i wish i bought the lifetime package i saw on their website 10 years ago for like 3 or 500 bucks cant remember.
I tried the first link account button at least 10 times and straight bad gateway errors. Is there another linking i have to do after the first one???
Lets count till they "Fix" the website

GUYS I GOT IN GO GOGOGO
pretty crazy like 5k people get an entire day with the game before the rest at this point
but I can log in at least
9
i wouldnt be supprised if they found out the web server is running on some guys laptop and he was just hoping everything would be fine, then more than 10 people tried to visit the website and his computer crashed, then unfortunatly, at the same time his AWS credentials expired and he had to contact aws to get it fixed... Sounds about right
Grats to those who persevered through the queue. lol
I've got 115 more to go
Welp i get off work in 16 hrs and then ima nap for 6hrs if this aint fix by then ima refund it and continue to hate my life while i play valorant
10
i give up, yall. good luck getting in
the queue was never the problem
Boop hooo, it's a launch
bought the game on launch and had it downloaded in 10 min. apperentlly wasn fast enough 😢
CSGO all the way
67676767676767676767676767676767676767676767676767676767676767676767676767
this is like the club for nerds
BRO DID HIS HOLE GET FINGERED
Got a new crash bug....
Out of video memory trying to allocate a rendering resource. Make sure your video card has the minimum required memory, try lowering the resolution and/or closing other applications that are running. Exiting...
Never got this during alphas.......
they probably just dont have enough wam for deditated serber
English?
Someone got a defib for the servers?
yeah no game has ever been hurt by a bad launch 🤡
I am creating guild of maintenance, we will provide maintenance to all the guild and their territorries, we gonna fix simple things for 8 hours and not finishing it, DM me to join
Guess how much i have actually gotten to play?
5 hrs behind my leveling group super dope experience
bro this is not bad launch this is a disaster
Anthem comes to mind
You wish you got scammed?
5 hours
What is a good class?
Every mmo launches like this gang. It's been the same way for fucking 20 years
програмеры криворукие
This link account gameplay loop has been tough, still cant beat the final boss
Best one so far 😄
the point of the shutdown is to allow streamers to get max first
a true soulslike
streamers have ruined gaming, they get first dibs on every new game just so they can exploit and ruin it in every way possible for the casual player
What has this company been doing for these last 12 years of development for linking your account to be this bad of an issue
rip anthem, got taken out back and hit with the: 
Sounds like cope to me
Exactly these mfs never learn they should do better but still the same for “20years”
and cant refund on steam because you've hit the 2 hour mark...
i wish WoW didn't suck
tinfoil andy
it's been down nonstop for 5 hours. we dont know if it will be over in 5 minutes or in 3 days. this could still be the worst launch in history still
how long has this been in development???
if I see this dumbass under maintenance screen when the game awards start ts gonna have to just wait til tomorrow
people comin home soon. time to fix ur website and save face is quickly fading.
ashes of maintenance
but its not streamers. its the original alpha supporters...some of them just happen to be streamers lol
its not the linking account thats the issue, its the traffic. its not this hard to figure out. put a queue on the website for crying out loud.
I was just speaking in general, not specifically about AoC
still not good for the game
This is a stupid system they should have fixed before they released it EA.
Dm me your favorite yugioh cards and ill rate your taste 1 to 10
how did u fix it
or or or... they should have let people link accounts prior that weren't testers lol
get lucky
THIS the worst launch??? Hahahaha my God this is fucking Velveeta liquid gold ass butter smooth compared to so many games 😂
refresh macro probs
Welp. I am going to hang it up and try again later tonight. Godspeed to all.
should have been fixed 20 years ago by every game
Guys im in, send me your login to ashes and steam ill connect it
creation of ashes
they hitting us with too many login attemps now 🙁
Yeah that is surprising
my point is it hasn't been resolved. theres no way to know if it is better or not. it has been down 100% of the time
you must be new to gaming
What are you talking about? Name one that's worse? Because you can't even log in.
would you like my credit card and social kind samaritan
how is it smooth when you can't even log on to the launcher.
Meatriding aint gonna get you in faster my guy
So will the servers be fixed by tomorrow or what
Dang man they should’ve said we needed to make account before the launch
Guy I've been in for 3 hours
This the first MMO i was willing to try
How long has AoC been in development?
They were worried about the servers being full or download to be trickled so it wont overload. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THE WEBSITE WOULD SHITBRICKS 
the biggest problem of all is that there are people actively playing with 0 issues right now while everyone else is just sitting here with their thumb up their ass.
yep
a decade or so lmao
The Day Before, Wayfinder, Mortal Online 2, New World, Lost Ark, should i name more?
this a joke lol
Every time AoC steam connect goes down, I hear cheers echo through my house. My wife smiles for the first time in weeks, my kids rush to the living room with toys in hand, and for a fleeting moment they remember they actually have a father. “Daddy, the server’s down! Come play with us!” they shout with joy, as if Intrepid themselves had granted them visitation rights. It’s a bittersweet thing—my family doesn’t pray for my health or fortune anymore, they just pray for AoC maintenance. And in those rare hours, I stop mining ore and start mining memories… until I can connect my steam account and I vanish once more.
I guarantee you at least 1 person has already blamed Trump for this
Will this shit ever work?
You could log in to all those first 5 hours. What are you talking about?
Checks out honestly
So 10 years of development and this is what we got so far? seems crazy lol
no this company only knows how to make promises
Don't be poor and have bad Internet, there are 25k people trying to all log in at once
Beat the crowd
The last "no p2w" Archeage was down for like 4 days at launch, definitely worse by far.
i was in within minutes on lost ark, what
Nope you couldnt. You couldnt even create a character on a friends server in new world. Lost Ark had Queues the whole day for several hours. Only the founder access was fine. Stop coping lil bro 🙂
"buttery smooth" = 10s of thousands of players unable to login for 5+ hours, link their account, website is down, people getting ghost stuck in queue/not moving position, this gotta be bait 
wayfinder is no mmo lmao (beta tested that hoe)
Recent ones?
Tarkov, Lost Ark, WoW Classic BC, Throne and Liberty
we get it your simping for the game
welp time to go finish up these ribs and just watch the game awards
don't worry guys as compensation they'll give each of us 5 shiney coins
well at least the steam portion went flawlessly
All void pal
Poor is wild. If you want to pay 100 bucks to test a game be my guest😂
yeah people that played before the steam transition and had linked their accounts prior logged in no problem. Problem is all the new players were 1) never told we had to create an account outside of steam, 2) their website has been down since launch so no1 can create an account or link it to steam.
Intrepid would like to thank us all for testing their anti-DDOS systems. We are doing great!
Or I'm not a winey child who goes "wahhh I'm gonna refund. Booohooo"
we should all get a free mount for this
mortal was rough
They had server transfers that you can move to whatever server. Yes some servers will be full, that's expected for a server to be full. This has nothing to do with full servers.
This is a broken system.
25k isnt alot. have you seen a poe expansion drop?
no ur def an idiot
i give up last 4h and go to sleep....wth they cannot fixed :))
Guys the game is pracitcally in Alpha 2 - why do you expect it to be at a state that is way beyond where we at right now? Why do you think the game is suddenly finished? It's an actual Early Access
Server transfer werent ready at release. it took them several days. Again, stop coping
Devs looking at this chat😭
yeah you just whine at other things and call people poor because they have valid criticism of something you like. Worse than a whiny child more like a sweaty redditor.
You don't think twenty five thousand people is a lot of players?
Ok
new world had server problems when it first came to pc also
12 years of dev time
We just want to play
So it's impossible to link steam account with website totally fucked right?
Finished? Nah. Able to log in after 5 hours? Yes. Thats not a high expectation...
The GAME is in alpha 2. Nobody said the WEBSITE is also in ALPHA

6 hours to make the site working...
And those who complain about that complain about the website; it has nothing to do with the game xD
and it's not even 25k, there are thousands in the game. its probably half that number thats trying to get in.
300k peeps wish listed the game
Na you should see the Steam reviews and other mmo discords... they trashing it hard
AoC website has never seen this amount of people obviously yall, they JUST went on steam. It's going to be expected that they are being slammed with more traffic
this is the reason why not to have steam users link the account
6 hours to make the steam API work for account linkage on a low tier AWS server
Dune had over 100k at launch so...
It taste like aged wine
You saw it here for the first time folks. Website Alpha 2 testing in real time. 
How long have you been in queue?
whats sad is that cod is playable every year
lost ark had more bots make accounts each day than 26k
this is the worse launch in history seen lol i would rather sit in que than website not even work for linking
Twelve Years Of Dev Time
It’s literally a website how was this not planned for
Well atleast for actual launch there should be way better website structure put in place xD Guess they might be hiring for System and Web Engineers soon. If any of you need a job
I made a game and at launch I didnt have any server crashing
I know now what is ahead of us. 8 years of development, probably the next content update will be in 1 year or so
Well they shouldve been prepared considering they had over 300k wishlisted lol
lvl 0, not even linked ez
There are 21000 currently in game with thousands more unable.
woooot World Boss .67
I work for an international company: Our network admins still suck
i want to give them credit, Steam API is an absolute nightmare to deal with for existing account integration. There is a reason why many companies didnt do it for a long time and why others even big ones like FFXIV had seperate management for both steam and non steam users
Meant for @uneven quest
Joined now
Relax boys. We are still in Alpha 2 website development
do you realize that sitting with client open counts as a steam user right?
Guys all steam player can't link the account so game servers are empty
that's 4k less than there was before
in alpha it can take up ta 6-mnd to 1year for next big updates
I am glad that I prefired the Steam Link shit yesterday. I don't have to deal with all taht. I rather just sit in this never moving queue for 3 more hours
Which server you going into?
Again not huge numbers compared to other MMO launches
pretty sure steam charts are showing players with the launcher open
wow has million players its not that bad
WoW is still under development, fine tuning systems and adding new features. continual development is a sign of a healthy MMO. if we get 8 years out of AoC with that, I would be stoked
Na new world was worse
This so ass
You genuinely think those are low numbers? That is absolutely insane hahaha
Steamcharts/steam db will show the launcher as part of their numbers. the launcher counts towards your time played as well
its because we cant play the game, the website is off
Wishlist /= downloads. just interest. I don't understand how yall don't understand what launch day entails for a massive game like aoc is trying to be. Get behind them and support them or be quiet and wait.
What if they're all just beating up the newbies in there?
There are 0 steam player in game so I really don't get it
The other issue, we have no idea when it will be fixed.
True but it also shouldn't be seen as an launch like other games do. The news about it coming too Steam was way too unexpected and short term for a hype to build like the other titles in the calibre
New world had a million players on launch
5 hours later
They should have know this was going to happen
Nice character
any news for the web page?
all of the people clown emoji reacting to the fact sitting with client open counting as a steam user...yikes. if you don't actually believe that, ask the hundreds of people who already has 3-5 hours played and hasnt even made a character.
Or I'll speak if I want to. Sit down and stop meatriding poor planning
Lost Ark had 100,000 players and 1,200,000 bots at launch.
Yes. Its Down.
and when it launched I remember being able to at least get on the game
Dead on arrival
.....
How it can be full if steam player can't link account
it's all the people who played before
Sheesh you practically in the front rows of the concert! Leave some bitches for the rest of us. Hell yeah buddy 
no but who cares?
21k ppl in steam right now are old alpha testers
worst launch ever, blizzard 2.0
is this gonna be today or tomorrow ?
Someone sounds angry they can't do anything more than whine and complain 
Thanks, love. Not bad options available. I was pleasantly surprised by the character creator.
So because one game has more it is invalidating the massive numbers for this launch? You also realize new world had constant crashes. Lag and was unplayable for week
I wish I could play
como uns conseguem outros n??????????????
I'm just taling about how their website is down and the poor planning. I'm sure the game will gain hype as time goes
This is such trash.
Welp. Servers are full now. What would happen when they fix the website? This shitshow wont end
. Better wait till next week.
Have seen worse.... Bless Online cough
If any of you are remembering the OG of bad game launches and releases
they should add another server
Link account hardcore mode you need to change the dificulty on easy that its guys
Bless Online was insane xD I still got some items in my Steam Inventory haha
Angry? No. Just odd that you lack critical thinking as an adult. Am I excited for the game? Yeah. That doesnt mean I/m not going to call out the obvious poor start that they could have mitigated easily
it ain't that easy in live environments like that. Should have prepared all that beforehand. Hard to fix shit when the shit hits the fan already.... Would need to completly shut down all of it and then add resources in a load balancer
servers are full?? wtf lol
PSA: Can all of the people saying refund PLEASE stop trying to connect and just go do something else?
Stop crying
A lot of you guys need to leave the house and get some air or something Jesus Christ, just sleep on it and play tomorrow
hey guys i just woke up, how are the servers? any issues? let's game!
its taken 5 1/2 hrs to fix a website (ive seen sites made in less time ) just wondering whats the down time for patches usually ?
go back to bed my guy
It was obvious the server was going to crash, a rookie mistake, very bad
fun though instead of crying go play w youre kids or spend time w youre family...
go back to sleep ig
He's literally calling you saying that 25k is a big launch when in comparison it frankly isnt
Uninformed people... they don’t even know what is at stake when it comes to work. Hard for them to understand that behind the ALPHA state, real People worked hard trying to meet their needs. They only consume...they don’t reflect and are not able to produce empathy, with their greedy expectation of having everything at the same time and immediatly. GREAT CAPITALISM... depressive consumers 🤣
you sound like you watch carebears and eat lucky charms
trying to tell these guys to go do something else while you're still here yourself. 
how long will the alpha be available?
its over tomorrow
Though New World you are talking Amazon Games e.g. A W fucking S dude
till midnight
alpha over in 15 mins ggez
till they get into beta so 4 years probably
You gotta be chitting me....
I’m telling them to get a life I’ve got in played 4 hours and I’m heading off cya enjoy whining about it 👋
Cope harder my guy
Well this is fun... 🤣
People saying the game is still in ALPHA, yeah we know it is. Nobody said the website will also be in ALPHA 
Single digits, baybeee.
Enjoy the toxic vent sessions, fam.
in other words "buy the game again if you wanna play on launch day"
Well let them fix the shit. How else do you think the issues are gonna resolve itself? Chill and take a break guys. Y'all malding too much
this shiz don't even make sense stop posting it
I havent been able to link my damn account all day. I cant even get past that part, let alone actually play the game
did you take a photo with your phone???
It just got fixed!
let them fix it? its been 6 faking hours man. Im all for giving them the benefit of the doubt but at some point you gotta see that this launch failed and thats all there is to it lol
sorry boss
Basically just 1% of players even made it in. So you are not one of the players who are playing but you are just part of the masses that are all NOT playing xD
Enjoying crying in chat haters, I am going to sleep and play tomorrow when it's all fixed 
what do people get out of trolling... i asked a normal question... how long is it available ... answering 15 minutes so very funny... original stuff...real good
thank youuuuuuuuu
Until full release
There was actually 60k, but 40k can't even link account
i'll see you in game shade man
Its available until release
Opps lol
what is the recommended armor for rogue? heavy?
anything? just finished One piece from ep1 to 1144ep. still no servers?
i go medium, but rlly its personal preference depending on wat bonuses u want
let's agree to make enemies here so we can carry our hate fuel in-game
i'm going to make a hit list, and cross them out each time i find one of you
this hit hard🤣
just start Naruto Classic & Shipudden now. After that you gonna make it in - TRUST
12 years of dev time 5 hrs of site being down
you are on my basement trap list 😉
who am i kidding we're never going to get into game so i must take my hate irl
https://i.imgur.com/iIxu5Ex.jpeg
Im locked in boys. No turning back now
Never logged in guys i ran out of time
That to be honest sounds like SUCH a dope idea. Like an actual kill list type of shit
Let’s just go to sleep; maybe tomorrow we’ll be able to keep playing this queue simulator.
rookie numbers
How long until the full game gets dropped you think
man, this launcher looks cool, i wonder if the website looks this good too
Let me in
im one min away
it all ties into each other. the website is the main portal to validation steam account. since all login traffic goes through there before connecting to steam. My guess is the AWS server they were hosting on wasn't capable of handling this. It's vary likely they are trying to find an alternative solution which they have been testing successfully locally but every time we don't see the maintenance message those changes are live, but still fail because its just a bandage
damn there's a lot of scheduled maintenance today
Anione from CROAtia, bosnia serbia wanna team up? ADD ME.
Due the circumstances even with 2h you can request a refund on games like these easily. Gave back Lost Ark Premium Edition after 10h of playing
2 years
have i mentioned i would like to play the game? it's been 5.5 hours. please devs 🙏
What classes yall gonna play when you get in next week?
So yeah Website is in ALPHA Test 
This me
me looking at the devs after i finally walk in after i link my steam account
Fighter
Rogue fasho
let me in
You don’t even understand what you're saying dude. Shit happen... you probably don't really value work. Are you thinking they enjoy what's happening... their's people behind. Try at leat to push them and support them instead of spitting your junky frustration... at least improve you empathy, imagine you're a human that can make mistakes while trying hard. It seems you rarely put youself into that...

Thank you so much for your patience as we start this new journey together.
Anyone who is in the game rn and sends a picture is marked for death in pvp by me
you forgot a 0 at the end
complete shitshow launch lol
Zdravo, prijatelju i vrijedni rivale
What tf did you just type?
where was this posted
is this you first mmo early acces boys?
yeah tbf most mmo's launch this poorly lol
steam discussion
how do i change my combat stance? I clicked something and am now seeing a cursor in middle of screen and now i cant attack with E, mouse clicking instead
must not like Dwarves lol .. i saw them downvotes 😄
last time I was actually able to play on the day I bought the game. imagine that
try holding Alt then click on F4
Once we get through the WEBSITE ALPHA test. All these thousands of steam players will be bottle necked into the server connection queue. right now its 300waiting for an hour. Imagine what a couple of thousands will be 
id rather have a 50k q waiting 10hrs than this, so yes its one onf the worst mmo launches i witnessed
Its been quite long for a website maintence
I managed to login and i can say its the best game i played yet as an mmorpg. No other mmorpg is such a good game (opinion now). And imagine what comes in future, its not even finished yet.
What are you doing to poor Steven's head?
guild wars 2 did not. black desert online did not. elder scrolls online did not. final fantasy 14 did not. so....eat my ass
WEN???
Long time lurker, just saw the steam early access pop up. Do i have to buy an alpha 2 key to play the game, or is it included in the purchase of the game on steam?
Make an effort...😆
you gotta use my cashapp then you get a key
you wont be able to log on until they fix the website. buy through steam
Hey guys I'm gonna try logging in again wish me luck
see you in a few hours motoguy
rip .. game booted me mid fight, now in a que of 97
wtf???? i never play this!!!!
Whatever happens please dont leave negative reviews... i havent managed to play yet but please dont sentence this game ... support guys
dont lie, best 4.2 hours of your life trying to log in to the website
Hello everyone!! Does anyone have any idea when the site will be back online? Because I find it kind of surreal that on launch day, the site you need to access it would be offline for so long :/
GG refound lol
Wow (2004), wow classic, guild wars 2 did launch poorly at first, swotor, new world, lost ark, most mmorpg's bro
Website if finally not error 504 after hours. Still cant link my damn account and play with friends.
Everybody is getting on. What are you talking about?
Thats not what "everybody" means my guy
How do you link? All I get is a constant error page.
my game froze
Guys lets all leave a positive review on steam and help the gamee please... most have spent much more on candy crush here... support this god project
website is fully down lmao
world of warcraft did not launch this bad....you are coping at this point and just making shit up. swotor was great on launch day. new world was a little rough yes, lost ark isnt an mmo....you lost again. 2-0 homie
I'll leave a positive review when I get to play the fkin game
so close
Shh don't tell him
like and subscribe
I'm asking if anyone has any idea when the site will be back online. That's all. Because I find it kind of surreal that the site has been down since launch, considering that without it, many people can't play.
Hey is the game up and running yet
I'm close to making a super negative review 😡
Social Media Man — 21:42Thursday, 11 December 2025 21:42
Our team continues to work hard on fixing our website issues. We have no ETA on a fix at this time. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
ark's first tag is legit mmorpg my bro, also they did launch this bad lmao clearly you werent there kek
To say new world was a little rugh shows that you have no idea what you are talking about buddy
Dale gasolina a eso para poder jugar
Sites up. No idea what you're talking about
game is, website is not
Thx!! :/
Who is excited and ready to play!??!?
all mods sleeping?
next week! for sure!
My website says under maintenance
Play what?
OHH so youre going off steam tags and not the actual game. right....no point in speaking to you anymore
Is the website up yet?
having been there for the SWTOR launch, New World, Lost Ark, etc.. yeah they were all dumpster fires the first 2-3 days and saying otherwise is cope
website is on? O.o ???? where.. are you crazy man? HAHAAH
Anyone hear about the 850k in debt that intrepid has to it's server provider? I heard a lawsuit was filled 5 days ago
You could log on though. Stability was ass but it wasnt 6 hours just to get through the website tbh
well, now they can pay the bill
I wonder.... could the website be down on purpose... cause game cant handle all the people?
So there's still no way to play? Can't even link my account
yea they are just coping at me for being mad they cant play this failure of a game already
Come again later on... like 5 hours more !
To overcap the steam 2 hours policy
We're working on web issues that are causing this <# Hoping to have a solution up soon!
dont that know who i am Let me in !!!!!!!!!!!!!
<#
They live
How do i gather herbs? Every flower says requires apprentice certificate
Brother, I bought the game 6 hours ago and I still haven't been able to create an AoC account.
almost 6 hours
Omg, I finally beat the second queue and then it starts rendering again.. it then crashed.
yep.. still on the launcher.
Its part of the experience xD
you hold the Alt key, then press F4
6 hours to fix the website is wild, imagine all these people trying to log onto the game instead
whats wrong with you little bro
there goes your 2hour refund timer
can I link to my account and atleast wait on q??
i totally get linking it if you purchased BEFORE steam, i don't understand why we need an Intrepid acct when we purchased it through Steam....seems like an unnecessary extra step.
any news on the site? I would really want to play the game!
wasnt not planning on a refund, so...
i'm sick, and the only prescription is ashes of creation
woooo we got a link bois
Theres a large amount of issues in network engineering maybe you could tell us what is wrong to manage expectations better and give us an idea of a rough fix time.
Did anyone manage to link after their message about maintenance?
throw it back
we innnn
it is lmao makes 0 sense
just got mine to work
Probably so they can set up the subscritption model after full release
I just did it !!! i linked it again
worked only 5.5 hours in
They arent the devs they dont know either
5h played and no crate charakter omg
OMG So... close!!!
How does mob tagging/exp gain work? Apparently there is 0 incentive to help ppl kill mobs unless youre partied
