Yes. Or to put it another way. Expect multiple retries to get to character creation. Expect many more to enter the game world. Don't be surprised if you enter and get disconnected with your character logged in, then have multiple issues getting that character booted so you can get in. Once you do get in, expect zoning to take forever and possibly disconnect you so that you get to start the login over again. In other words, it's just like old EQ from back in the day! On a bad patch day. Certainly there's the desire to be first in line on everything. But if you're willing to wait a few hours, you might have a better game play experience.
Umm...rain is not wet, it's water, in order for something to be wet, it first has to be dry, therefore rain is water.
