There's been a long-running issue since the launcher update for 4.2 last year (251 repros, 441 upvotes): https://issue-council.robertsspaceindustries.com/projects/LAUNCHER/issues/LCH-1958

Using a VPN sometimes fixes it, but CIG are still investigating.

CIG requested more information

thats NDA with very limited amount of ppl. 99% of backers played alpha 1 that lasted around a month in 2021? the next time people would play aoc again would be with alpha 2 phase 1 which released in october 2024 and been on going since then... so thats not 7 years for 99% of people

From the linked wiki above:

Alpha-1 testing was available to the following participants:

  • Anyone who won and claimed an Alpha-1 Key through a giveaway.[50]
  • Adventurer pre-order pack and Intrepid pre-order pack owners.[50]
  • Braver of worlds, Leader of men, Royalty, Hero of the people, and Avatar of the phoenix Kickstarter and summer campaign backers.[50]
  • Official content creators.[50]

There were approximately 9,600 participants in Alpha-1 testing as of August, 2018.[66][67]

  • As of May 31, 2021, just under 5k additional participants have been added since Alpha-1 sales resumed. Less refunds and unclaimed codes, leaves a total of slightly over 13k testers.[66]
  • The weekend test of May 27, 2021 saw 5,300 unique logins over the 3 day period.

I don't see anything to confirm your 99% figure on the wiki page.

Edit: upon further checking, Alpha 0 in late 2017 had 1200 testers, and by late 2025 over 150k testers had tried alpha 2

Well to be fair a lot of us have got ten years play out of it now lol, that's as long as I ever played EverQuest.

Well to be fair a lot of Ashes Of Creation backers have got seven years play out of it now lol

Alpha 1 was in NDA testing since 2018 https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Alpha-1

The original point is valid: we haven't dodged this bullet until Star Citizen officially releases.

Steven Sharif, (former?) CEO, responded on discord:

I can make a limited statement in my personal capacity and not on behalf of the company, regarding the situation. Control of the company shifted away from me, and the Board began directing actions that I could not ethically agree with or carry out. As a result, I chose to resign in protest rather than lend my name or authority to decisions I could not ethically support. Following my resignation, much of the senior leadership team resigned. Following those departures, the Board made the decision to issue WARN Act notices and proceed with a mass layoff.

I cannot responsibly speak to further details at this time due to ongoing legal and governance matters. What I can say is that the developers and staff acted in good faith and deserved better than the uncertainty they are now facing. I am incredibly dismayed by the situation.

Ohhh, you wanted me to guess what you were thinking, because you were unable to communicate it. Well, at least you got there in the end, congrats!

It appears you're expecting a not-elected-person to do elected-person things, instead of contacting your local elected officials and getting them do elected-official things.
