PLanetSide 2, one of the biggest free-to-play shooters are live after months of beta testings. Like with IGN reviews of other online games, such as Guild Wars 2 and World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria, a review-in-progress will run after launch until a full scored review is ready.
In case if you haven’t been following along with PlanetSide 2, it pits three factions against each other with the goal of capturing and holding territory. You can play as a jetpack soldier, a sniper, a heavy weapons soldier, a medic, an engineer and even jump into a mech suit. You can also take control of tanks, assault aircraft and transports to help push back an enemy assault or thin out entrenched defenders.
While I am aware that this game is free and therefore not subject to the same rules as Diablo 3 was on its launch day (or more accurately, week), plenty of EU players were in the beta and have been locked out of their accounts by this, and a decent chunk of those had items or a subscription that they have had nicked from them by a bunch of incompetents.
There is currently no timeframe for a fix, just a vague "we're working on it." Lovely. I'm willing to bet that if this had occured in the US, there'd have been news articles and mass complaint about a grossly mishandled launch, but since we're European we can keep our fucking mouths shut and be grateful they even release in our little backwater.
