is anyone else unable to connect to lobby server?

those of us that have been here since 2.0 have some perspective. this may be 'a mess' but it is nowhere near as much of 'a mess' as 2.0 early access and launch was.

It's my first expansion in this game and I believe that this is not the worst performance but considering its "just" early access - what will happen on 23rd? Nevertheless with 2.0 being apparently worse, one would think learning from from the past - wouldn't you agree?

Try telling that to Blizzard and their WoD launch.

That's probably the same thing ppl think @ SE. Of course it's always easy to point fingers and say "they did a lot worse" but that isn't the idea.

Got past the lobby server just now after over an hour, I just hope it doesn't crash while I wait for this crazy long queue to let me in :3
Edit: aaaand it didn't. Yay!

The history of MMOs has been going on for more than 15 years and every single time in every single MMORPG this happens on the first day of release/add-ons.
I don't exactly get it, but no matter what they do, they always seem to underestimate the sheer amount of people willing to play their game xD

Also, well, they have to do with the hardware and personnel they have. No sudden giant servers only for patch week and stuff like that, so any kind of launch will always be kind of messy in a way
With 2.0, I couldn't do anything in the game for all of EA because of an unresolved bug (in the rare instance of actually being able to log in) so playing 11 hours staight today and logging on and off 3 times in between for race switches without any trouble is like a dream come true ^-^
