Should the launch have been delayed? What else could be done?

Perhaps limit players to X hours of playtime per day. Start at 4 hours then gradually increase, and eventually remove the limit as the initial surge dies down. This would also help to deter AFKers, since going AFK without logging out for a hour means that you've just wasted an hour of your daily limited play time.

I was actually thinking about this. This is probably the most fair method. Everyone has a timer and at X hour mark boot people who have been playing and let the queue move along. Once they see congestion die down, remove this timer.
