It will actually. Id be willing to bet that the full server bandwiths arent even available yet. Theyre probably just letting us reserve our toon names.
so let me get this right.. people are complain about lag for a game that is just launching.... that sounds kinda oxymoronish to me.
jumping in early or at 0:0:0 launch time you should always expect lag and crashes.. just relax have a beer or a tea and let them fix what needs to be fixed.
if i recall GW1 had lag too at launch like 99.99% of every other mmo thats come out.. why would gw2 be any differant?
So far its been a bit laggy for me but didn't crash out or anything like that. Since its just after 3 PM here and weather is unseasonally nice and warm, I think I'll just make a few toons and then log and play later.
First impressions leave a lasting effect. This experience will spill over into every other experience they have in the game. Game companies have ONE chance to get it right in this industry.
Which is precisely why they opened the servers 3 hours early, to claim that "this isn't part of the official launch" when they fail to pull off a smooth launch, just as every other MMO has failed at also
The first few hours/days of any major MMO release are like this unless they were to stagger the access like SWTOR did, and I really think that would have been a terrible move. For now, just claim your character names and do what you can.
I have seen releases where this lag freezes your character for 10-30 minutes, won't let you access the character you just created or the server fries and it takes the devs an entire da y before they are back online, SWG anyone...
At times I do this, which I highly recommend...
2 ounces Sweet and Sour mix
2 ounces Disarono
pour over ice and relax while you sip , sometimes just skip the Sweet and Sour altogether and double the liquor-)
It works wonders and my blood pressure stays calm the entire time.
You guys should be a little happy, it means there are to many players loging in atm, wich means they sold to many boxes
Give it some time, made some breakfast, do 50 pushups, play with your wife for 30 min, make coffe thea !!!
It will settle down eventualy, this is the part where modern servers just cant keep up with the connection made to the servers.
Millions of people logging in and shit like that. its good news tbh
well i wouldnt say its good news but it isnt bad either i have been waiting and you dont dangle a piece of meat to an animal and not expect it to want it lol
make your toons and log out. thats what i did. let it cool off. this is how launches go. million+ ppl tryin to flood the servers at once. hell even the overflow servers are super full. take a nap an come back... in two days or so when the starter zones are slightly less full.. lol.

just don't make a char on the two most popular servers other ones are running great
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg
guys this is just the early access and you guys are acting like as if its a sub and you will have to pay 15 bucks to keep playing the game. the game is new and developing, people are overreacting.

Good thing I have the one-day headstart rather than three-day one. By the time I start they will probably fix the biggest problemes while the three-day people can't play anyway XD

Don't draw your impression from the first 5 minutes of a games up time. Seriously. the servers' hard disks are probably still trying to engage. If you expect the most beautiful, seamless, streamlined, and flawless launch in history...you are sadly mistaken.
Why do people have these unrealistic expectations for launches?
imagine this...2-4 million people all trying to cram into one 4x11 door in a mall to get the next xbox...YEAH good luck.
Go somewhere else besides Jade Quarry. I trasnfered to Crystal Desert and there is no lag. Jade Quarry has everyone and their mother trying to get in. It's the most populated server. So you either move or you deal with the lag.

LOL
Like an hour or two will make a difference.
uh, no....

This isn't a signature, you just think it is.

Re: SWTOR
"Remember, remember - Kakk says 'December.'"
true very true but i dont care lol
Smooth here so far, hopefully they get the lag ironed out fast for the servers that are experiencing it.
Got all 5 names I wanted, although I did have 2 reserved.
So far, so good on my end
Wait, wait, wait......wait, are you seriously telling me that the launch of one of the most anticipated games in years, has lag?
I refuse to believe that having a mere 2 million people or so logging into a game at the same time could do that.
/sarcasm
