Nw is up for 4 minutes:
We're looking into the launcher. Hold tight.

5 minutes later a tweet from from STo:
Hi Captains. We're investigating why the launcher is not loading. This seems to be affecting all Cryptic games. Thanks for your patience!

Looks like NW's popularity borked the Cryptic logon servers LOL
[UPDATE]
7pm (CEST)
For those asking, the Launcher issues are related to the web hosting of the Launcher page. We're working on redirecting to another page!

Next tweet tells that some players are lucky and are able to logon anyway.

I know we don't really count, just sayin'
Ahhh...forgot about that. Thanks for "schooling" me.
It's Cryptic!
It was a total mess with STO launch.... with login issues and long queue times for two weeks.
Then it was the EXACT same debacle again when STO went F2P.
Now Neverwinter launches.... and here we are again.
They just have a set number of login servers. That's it! They refuse to expand the number of login servers.
They just tell people they are looking into it, while the truth is that they just wait till enough people get fed up trying and the servers settle down themselves. Just booting up ones that crash.
It has been common practice by Cryptic as long as I can remember. /sigh
Basically with their prices of $200 and $60 for early access they failed to spread the access of new players...
Seems like a classic example of underestimated launch crowds... By the way, it launched at Eu main prime play time..
There is a reason they launch in open beta state, and not with a true release.

Proof or it never happened...
That Guild Wars 2 login screen knocked up my wife. Must be the second coming!
F2P games always launch as Open Beta and stay that way until they shut down.
This way they can do whatever they want with the game and not be held accountable due to the everlasting Beta argument!
If you were there during STO launch and STO F2P.... then you got your proof.
If not... ask any STO veteran player and they'll tell you.
As I only mentioned launch and F2P launch.... but it was pretty much with every new Season content release that the servers were crashing again and again.... going through the same issues over and over again. When people came back to try out the new content.
Yeah, I find this whole "Open Beta" schpiel totally hilarious !
In the case of Neverwinter, the only difference between the start of "Open Beta" and actual game launch will be when Cryptic makes an arbitrary announcement that the game has now "Officially Launched". Most likely the playerbase won't even notice.
Absolutely nothing changes when it actually "Launches"...

The ''open beta' excuse is valid, but this also effects Star Trek online and Champions online
Absolute twaddle, your a jaded biased player who has an axe to grind because someone pinched your favourite plaything. Your not going to be taken seriously when your just pointing fingers and jabbing them into the chest of anyone that may have anything positive to say about a company you so obviously dislike.
However if you DID actually post some hard cold proof then you would be taken seriously.
It's not! People are paying "real" money since last week. The cash shop is there accepting you hard earned cash!
It's launch! But F2P games use the "Open Beta" tactic and keep their games in "Open Beta" forever... so they can get away with practically anything.
It's a clever tactic really! Just not for us gamers.
Dude! Go ask ANY STO veteran and they will tell you the same thing.
Cryptic's login servers CANNOT handle high(er) load! Never have and never will!
lol you trying to launch the game via launcher? Sad :d I've tried it only once and when it have failed I had to use direct client which at one click I jump ingame

So if you notice that I'm no longer answering your nonsense, stop trying... because you just joined my block list.
Exactly! Any game that claims to be in Beta when it has a cash shop open is talking shite. If the shop is up and they're taking your money it's a released game, no matter what they call it. You don't pay a sub for a beta, this is no different. Once that preferred business model kicks in and starts to generate revenue, that game is in a released state.
I feel sorry for those that actually paid up front for the early access and now can't get in. There's a lesson to be learned here folks. Stop paying for early access, be a little patient, wait for a review, and maybe we'll start to see working, stable, fully featured games released.
This doesn't work, it gives a timeout error.
Your time period to play early is over as this is the general release, so that complaint is pretty invalid.
Like that's ever going to happen, lmao
