See, this argument is hysterically funny to me. I work in an internet environment. And knowing, for certain what the traffic numbers are going to be is never ever what we shoot for. We shoot to be prepared to handle the MOST traffic we can handle, based on what we sold yesterday and what we hope to sell tomorrow. Which in a case of digital & physical media sales for an online game would mean, to plan to have to host a player for every physical copy printed along with a doomsday 'can we handle that much, really?' number of digital downloads. From the looks of things they didn't even bother to be ready to handle the traffic of just the physical copies of the game.

You think most people waited until EA to buy the game? See, that would indicate to me inherently irresponsible spending. By the time I woke up the morning EA began, there were already traffic and login problems. Who in their right mind goes out to buy access to a game they know there are already issues logging into? If I hadn't already preordered, I'd have waited until this was all sorted out. The same with every single person I know out in the real world who I've talked about this game with. Thankfully for me, the two people I'm most likely to play this game with haven't bought their copies yet. So when this all gets sorted out and I know what server I'm on, they can hop on whenever they decide to without having to worry about character transfers or anything.
