What is this? I don't even...

EA isn't another beta phase, and should not be viewed as such. EA means that the game is ready for launch, and that certain people have been allowed to play before the rest of the world can get their hands on it. Calling it another beta phase, is an ignorant thing to say.

And no, this isn't the first time the servers have been pushed to the limit. Open beta was the first time they were pushed to the limit. That's what happens with open betas, server stress gets tested. This isn't an open beta. Only those that paid for it, and yes, we paid for it, can play, and the majority of the people that paid, aren't even able to play.
