For those who have been frustrated with the recent server issues here at subsim......imagine you just paid $50 for a video game and the same thing is happening.

You may only have a couple of hours that you can commit to playing SH5 on that day, and the servers are down when you try and access the site.

Classic!

As a long time MMORPG junkie I know this all to well. New game/expansion is about to be released, hype is building up, some vacation is planed and before you know it the big day has arrived. You happily install the game/expansion and try to log on to the server to register/upgrade an account just to have a lot of timeouts. Then you manage to do that and wait for the game to patch and then finally you just have to wait for the server to come back up from the latest crash. This might go on for 24 hours or so....

And you promise yourself not to be there on launch day next time... hrrm yeah.

I canceled my pre-order. Been down this road before with a couple of other titles and it just is not worth the headache. If I am paying top dollar for something, I want to be able to use it WHEN I WANT.

In the end, everyone has to make up their own mind. The group cannot make the decision for you. It sounds like you have put a lot of money into building your machine around this title. That is not a small expenditure. Sounds like a tough call in your case.
