If you bought a founders pack (which I assume you did since you're trying to play today) just log into your NC soft account and find the Blade and Soul section and there will be a button to automatically apply the code from your purchase to get whatever rewards it grants you. You can do this while logged in and it should just grant you everything instantly.

Thanks, I never would have thought to dig through all of the different submenus once I saw it in my transaction history. Home in a few hours!

I just had a black screen and had to restart my game, sitting in 1100 premium members queue now for Mushin. Ugh.

There was no queue before I left for work, but I imagine by the time I get home it's going to be like the Warlord's of Draenor launch. Hop in queue when I get home, go do something else, find out I'm still in queue 8 hours later when I go to bed.

On the plus side, despite not being able to do the name reservation I did manage to get my name on Mushin. :v:

Queues aren't going down, in fact its going up from 1100 to 1137. I wonder who are the ones jumping in front of me when I have premium too. I guess I'll go do something else while I leave this running.

1220 people in premium queue, and it keeps jumping up. You'd think they'd realize that 10 servers is a bad idea and they should've invested in say double server capacity

Mushin is the only NA queue right now.

I coughed up for Premium. 1.2K people in queue is saying 15 mins wait.

I deleted my first guy and re-rolled.. don't do this.

There's an in-game option to change character... this will also put you in the queue.

I personally always get annoyed about this stuff too but then I remember these MMOs will be dead in a few weeks. There just isn't a point in caring about trying to accommodate everyone who wants to play at launch.

Questing will make you vomit blood right now. There's only like 9 channels here and every one of them has 50 people camping the same 5 monsters the entire time. I've been here for 20 minutes and I'm not even a quarter way done with the quest. I'm just going to skip all this.

Applying the premium to the account made my queue go from 50ish+ minutes to 20 or so. So it looks like there are two levels of hidden premium active right now, and would explain why some people's queue times are going up.

Or it's typical MMO launch day broken.

That's not your queue position, just number of people in the queue. Why it doesn't show your actual position I have no idea.

Upgrading your premium tier probably increases your 'priority' in the premium queue as well. Or at least that's what I'd like to think, since I've gone from an estimated wait time of 20 minutes on the premium queue to about 50 minutes, after waiting for at least half an hour so far as more and more people turn up in the waiting queue (was about 1425-ish when I started queuing, it's now at 1588 premiums waiting at time of writing).

I'm not about to spend 9999 NCoins on the 365 day premium membership for those points to find out if this is the case, though.

Reddit has a google doc with estimated number of people per server, based on name reservations. Looking at the list for NA, Mushin server has probably nearly 20k names on it, with the next biggest server being Jiwan at about 4250 or so names. At this rate they might as well make Mushin a Premium only server, because no one else will be able to get in there even in the dead hours of the night.

Until three weeks in when the hype has died and the game is a ghost town on all servers except Mushin!

Considering how tits and anime it is, I can see a hardcore fanbase keeping it going regardless of any other factors.

There's a $5 signature pack in the lobby shop that gives 7 days premium. I think they're trying to suck more money out of impatient animes.

I'm going to start a mans on Old Man Cho once I'm finished patching. I still plan on playing wherever the majority of folks end up, but I'm not interested in sitting in a queue all evening; especially when servers will inevitably go down at some point and the whole process will start again.

If starting a guild isn't too costly I'd be down to start something over here for folks as impatient as I am.
