So roughly 11 hours is their projected time for release... What does that mean for us? We wait an entire day again to jam the servers with thousands of people most who will not be able to get in for a "Hopefully". What are they going to do to fix the population problem? We filled Ragefire to capacity in less then two minutes.. So good luck getting online with a friend.
If it were me, I'd just open the server as soon as it was 'ready' rather then a fixed time to avoid the mass influx. But that's just me!
