Here's what a truly BAD launch looks like

Ha quite correct on the term, but the point is it is presenting an false EITHER/OR

NO, I am not speaking about adding additional servers, If you read I said it was 'instanced' so they could add more servers to the farm.. i.e more instances on current servers, not additional new game servers.

no it´s not since you can preorder almost until official launch, but making it about who preordered first is very unfair because not all hang on these forums everyday, and then there are vacation´s and stuff maybe when the announcement came out, preordering is all about getting in first hand to reserve names. if i wont get my names on the server my guild was assigned to then i´m not sure about putting my retail key in, will probably not do it, my names are very important to me, my char is very important to me, this is a game where i would spend alot of time,

So now we're arguing about "equality" and "fairness." And waiting in a 3 hour queue vs. a "24-48 hour" queue.

Let's think:

Is it "fair" or "equal" that some people who play MMO's have no outside responsibilities and are able to do nothing but sit in front of their computer and play video games for 12+ hours at a time? Is it "fair" or "equal" that some of us work 12 hour days and only get a couple hours of play time in, maybe less if we have kids?

3 hour queues are my guess at an average for the Burning Crusade. Some evenings you just had to give up because they were too long. And I'd rather be told HONESTLY that I would be getting into a game a little later than other players within a certain timeframe BEFORE THE ACTUAL LAUNCH DATE to a game that I could actually PLAY.

Not be told that I could definitely play on a certain day, only to find that I had a 3 hour queue before the servers were shut down because they had a stroke and couldn't play until the next morning, at which point an hour of questing that should have taken 5 minutes becomes erased because of server rollbacks.

First of all I am assuming you know the exact number of players, and level they gained by exploiting to logically conclude they have are going to have a negative impact on the game. If so, please post a link so that i too am enlightened. Otherwise it really does not matter. And if for some reason a bunch of players make it to max level, that's awesome, they can then run operations and other end game content to make sure it does not suck like 4.3 does for WoW.

You'd seriously quit a game over something so trivial?

My point is - what disadvantage?

So you lose two days, hardcore gamers will start endgame two days earlier. By the time you get there, they will have some sets, better loot, etc... and in two or three days you're be up to par because there's no more content.

That's some bad permanent disadvantage there.

Oh god. You got trolled bad.

Seriously?
Did you even read the post?
How do you breath and remain upright at the same time?

Another victim of marketing.

Early game access is exclusive with a definite cut-off date and no throttling of customers. See Rift and many other games. This is not early game access. The game has launched by their own words. Read it. Let it sink in.
The "early game access" is a marketing ploy to cover for a staggered release in order to attempt to prevent negative press/customer reaction from the inevitable queues and lag that will ensue when the rest of us get access. There is no reason for it other than delaying the inevitable. Pushing a problem away won't fix it.

They have created a massive queue for everyone who didn't hear about this game on July. Your position is ???, and you have ??? until you can play.
