I have been through a lot of MMO releases. So far I have to say this one is pretty bad. I could almost understand waves of access if they had kept them going and allowed everyone in within the first 24 hours. Packing it up mid day is just ridiculous. Why did they bother doing stress tests in the first place? I think if they would have given each of us an actual early start date it may have been better. I know when I received the email telling me early start would be at 7am EST today I assumed that I would be able to login at that time. I know a few of my friends took the day off work because of that email. You can imagine how upset they were when they attempted to sign in and were giving the subscription error for the rest of the day. And stopping the waves at 1:00 was just a slap in the face to all of us who took the day off work because of their earlier email. I dont know about all of you but I am left with a bad taste in my mouth. I am half tempted to cancel my preorder. I guess I will just hope EA/bioware can work on their CS or they wont be maintaining subs.
