Let them get their money back, most likely people that would have quit anyways because of some stupid ideal its going to be a WoW killer and in the end they just want anther WoW.
I remember the funniest crash bug in wrath was every 2 hours when winter grasp started the world server crashed.

Most ppl want another guild wars, and others want a new game not a new wow but something fresh.
Im assuming you guys realize that the data center in in Texas for NA. But on a side note Im willing to forgo any issues since this is indeed a headstart and they brought the servers up an extra early.
My company has several production and development servers in the Seattle area. I know nothing, absolutely nothing, about ArenaNet's architecture. But all of our servers in the area are operating fine with no apparent (obvious) performance issues.
If it's a broader network issue, it's not effecting everyone in that area.
Probably not related AT ALL but my ISP is down in Meriden, CT right now. I can't even look at pron while I'm waiting for the servers to come back up, GOSH!
Blizzard spent months working with individual ISP's. I remember them asking for traceroutes from certain states and providers. They eventually got it all worked out, but it took time. That's the kind of stuff the stress tests and betas are supposed to uncover, but no beta can match the actual go live traffic, even if it is a 3 day head start. Imagine if they just went live on the 28th? The 3 day head start was a good move. We just have to be a little patient.
Form what I have learned from reading many peoples comments on many sites and listening to them in real life, their tired of WoW but want a better wow. Not saying all but a lot think like that which leaves no room for something truly fresh.
nope. not for me.
This is quite ironic... Diablo 3 and all...
Nevertheless, hope your servers are on soon
You've clearly done your research into GW2, bravo.

I still don't understand how, in this day and age, people don't expect this. Pretty much every game release has problems with login servers. The fact is, in the first few days of a launch, any game is going to have way more people than usual logging into the game. Made up number, but I'd guess around 10 times as many people as usual will all be trying to login at the same time. If a game's going to be running for several years with the same login servers, why would they invest in servers powerful enough to hold a launch day, when they're never going to experience that kind of capacity again, not even close?
