I couldn't log in all day Sunday. Everytime I couldn't log in I searched the web for other games to play. Now I know this game is free, but if I'm not even playing then I will never consider buying "NC Coin." This company must have considered this, right?
My point is this, if it became free to play to make them more money buy selling NC Coin, how can they sell NC Coin if no one can play at all?
If I can see this in one day, Im certain that teams of people considered this over the course of months of planning. I can only come to the conclusion that this acceptable to thier company. I will consider this as new games come on the market.
Nope they didn't.
Since the weekend is over, most of real players logged off to go to work or do other things, that's why it takes a bit less time to log in. Yet the bots and AFK'ers are still there, taking up all the slots. In evenings it will be worse with more people trying to get back in.
But if you think it's getting better... ok let's pretend nothing happened at all. Just get ready for a much greater wave of players' rage by the next weekend, when hundreds of players will be unable to log in to take part in TW and sieges, then the servers will repeatedly crash and so on.
Enjoy the best event ever, delivered by NCsoft in all of its infinite wisdom! :D
