I just have the strangest feeling when everything goes up next week, it simply won't be enough. THAT would be the death of the game, unfortunately.

I really hope they are over-preparing.
Increasing the amount of servers and increasing the capacity of each server is necessary for the long haul of the game. But your absolutely right, its not going to be enough to sustain the game once the servers are stabilized. There are still mounds of errors to address, and more features still yet to be implimented. Once those pass through we are going to be met likely with MORE problems than we have now. Is it the end? No every MMO has had horrible spells of inadequacy and managed to bounce back regardless of how much hate each MMO generated.

The death of the game would not be simply the result of a week of bad servers, rather a combination of issues over the first year of its life. The reason why v1.0 failed was the core mechanics of the game was horribly written and coded, which has more weight than server issues.
