Release was a Success! Open Beta Supporter Packs End Soon

Congratulation on your hard earned success. POE deserve it.

Congratulations to your very good work.
Your speed of releasing patches is amazing ;-)

I can't believe the rollout of the official version went so smooth! We logged in in the evening (central european time) yesterday and I expected a lot of trouble (login failures, slow speed etc.) - but nothing! ... can't believe it...

Sometimes your work is more professional than that of the "big ones"... awesome!

Two little points of criticism still:
The minimap (right upper corner) is still a bit ugly and often not very helpful due to lack of details :-(
And the aiming system sometimes doesn't work very well (I don't talk about the normal accuracy ingame but about the "point and click" on an enemy).
But as I read that several times in the forum and you guys really listen to your players/supporters, I guess that might be solved/improved in one of the next patches.

Anyway - the game is great and (one has to say it again!) it's for free! So all points of criticism have to be mitigated as you do all that "for fun" and one can't say "you have to do this and that because I PAID for that!"... (I hope you know what I mean) :-)

Keep the good work going and I hope there will be more and more and more... and we can play on forever! ;-)

Congrats!
By the way, the servers have a super high latency...

AWESOME new content, and GREAT launch! So happy for you GGG, keep up the beast work!

I have to congratulate you folks on how well a rollout this was. First of all, I'm not not part of the core demographic this game is primarily targeted at. I played only for a very short while after open beta began (recalled the initial long login queues and other in-game issues) and well, played a few hours in total and didn't log back in until just a few days before release. I believe in supporting good development when I see it though and saw there was a lot of progress made since I had last played. Didn't take me long to go for a regal supporter pack. Looked further into what was being rolled out for release and it didn't take me long to upgrade to divine.

I also wanted to witness this milestone myself; I fortunately do contract work now and thus could re-schedule things ;). I ended up being just amazed at how smoothly most everything went all things considering (worked for 2 decades in the IT networking field so I've seen everything that can and will go wrong on launch). I was already patched and sitting at the login window when the countdown timer hit zero (realms came back online within 1.5 minutes after that). Within two minutes, I was re-rolling a new character on the Domination ladder. And sure, there were some d/c glitches happening in town but within the next 30 minutes, I was playing through the game without much issues.

I ended up having far more fun then even I expected as it didn't hit me until several hours later that I was actually still playing (I usually don't like to play in continuous long spurts). I believe this is a testament to the underlying passion of the team that put in all of the hours to create and deliver on something they themselves dreamed of one day delivering. That comes across in many different (often times intangible) ways throughout the game.

tl;dr - Awesome job and keep up the great work!

Great. NOW how am I supposed to go to sleep?!?!

Awesome, awesome, fantastic f***ing job you guys. This is, hands down, the greatest game I have ever played!

EDIT: Also, I have NEVER seen a launch go as smoothly as this one did... O.o

I can't imagine how proud the ggg team is right now.

Congrats from the bottom of my heart!

Must admit I was kinda glad to see server issues on launch day: it was reassuring to know that many many people were clamoring to play the game at launch. AWESOME! :D :D :D

YAY for GGG!


MORE EXCLAMATION MARKS AND LOUD NOISES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was the smoothest game launch I've ever experienced.

Congratulations!
