No. I planned for it.) I even did research into which number was least likely to be selected out of the given range of wards. Sure enough, Ward 8 was one of the last to sell out. So that was my target.

    As far as the queue goes, I was trying to log in about 10 minutes before it was even time. I knew everyone else would be trying too. Luck? Nope. Experience.

    I wasn't able to control EVERY aspect of the experience. But I was definitely in control of the ones that could be controlled.
    Interesting because Hyomin and I were up several hours before the patch went live and had it downloaded well before. Both of us were spamming the World icon to refresh the launcher and connected at precisely 6am EST. What happened? Server lobby error crashed the whole launcher, which wouldn't restart due to faulty programming-- something the devs later acknowledged and issued an emergency patch for. Basically, we did everything you did except you were luckier than us. So, please, go ahead and explain how this is a trainable asset that both of lack.
