I for one am very surprised. Most of the threads prior to server launch was about the wild wild west that Ragefire was predicted to be. In reality I have seen more GM presence in game the last 2 days then I can recall in a long time on EQ.
DBG has explicitly states they do not intend to have a GM on any servers in the future. Support is present for the launch of the server, which is nice, but once the server becomes stable, that will change dramatically.
