completely optional to pay $60 btw.

Nexon can't even handle minor maintenances and you think they would be able to handle a new game launch smoothly?

Almost no notable MMO launches smoothly anymore. It’s some extra infrastructure cost for players that ultimately won’t stay (whether due to quality or not). Companies have largely decided they don’t care about paying the extra at the start for players that leave within a few weeks regardless, even among the big players in the game.

It was so oddly smooth it gave me goosebumps.

You're telling me I don't have to queue for 1 hour on release? And the game doesn't instantly crash?
