1. Players detect a potential problem down the line 2. SOE fails to acknowledge that it's a problem and state their confidence 3. Problem occurs 4. Players go all like "told you so" 3 out of 4 times that's the scenario. brbddos.
honestly, i think everyone saw this coming. Unless SOE had rented out one of google's server farms, it was inevitable
dont see why they didnt allow people to download before hand. Even if it was just Alpha sqaud members first (based on date of purchase) then after a few days allow anyone to download,
Was expected, but hey, the site came up fairly fast compared to a lot of other similar scenarios I've seen.
Likely reason?? The build they are using now probably just got out of QA/testing. Which is why they didn't allow for pre-loading as any version that was pre-loaded would have been old by the time release came
Honestly, this is one of the better launches I have seen. Forums were up barely 10 minutes after. The main site is still down. Like others said. I have seen much, much worse. Diablo 3 anyone?
