I'd say "no" to the worse launch ever simply because I have *nearly* error free on the Japanese servers. Thus far the +'s are the population is rather nice, the world looks very good, quests are entertaining, tons of tongue in cheek jokes (aethernet anyone?), the game play is smooth, classes are fun and distinct, there was thought put into each region to accommodate power levelers. The -'s are can't skip the character transit to the starting city, can't skip the starting quests (I know my way around by the 2nd alt in a town, thanks), I couldn't play with my bud on Diabloooo all day, no costume slot for a customized look, and sometimes gear progression makes me go whut (the S&M level 10 lancer gear?).

Who knows, they might offer free character transfers once everything has launched.
