Playing a game nowadays, MMO or not, in early access/launch day is like being a tester. You will likely face-tank the game at its worst due to unpredictable bugs and stuffs. For MMO, it will likely to have super long queue (think of New World at launch), which is the reason why they often open a lot of servers at launch to shoulder the load, then reduce the number as population diminishes.



So if you have trouble playing at launch, just give it a week and do something else. Avoiding visiting reddit and youtube to prevent spoiling yourself.
