GW2 Launch Failure

in Guild Wars 2
I simply cannot log in - my request doesnt even reach authentication. I heard from my friend who was able to log in really early this morning that the game is laggy as hell.
Not going to score the game on this, but so far ... extremely bad of course. Going back to The Secret World (which had a 10/10 launch) for a while, but itching to try GW2 ( though I don't think I will like the cartoony "little mouse characters" things, but we'll see). I loved gw1 to bits, but have a bad feeling about gw2 - especially now after tsw launch.

Just logged out and my family and I had a blast on Sanctum of Rall. Overflows were working as advertised. We had no lag but portals were occasionally clogged with people trying to get through!
I wish I could play more but my eyes are falling out!
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
just throwing this out there for I am at work and cannot check for sure, but it seems a good amount of people are not experiencing any problems, but there a some that are.
something to ponder for you, nvidia and amd both released huge driver updates this week in anticipation of this game, also java and acrobat/adobe did as well yesterday. When was the last time you checked for updates on you computers?
Servers have been up for 3hrs?

From facebook:
If you're playing from EU, we are investigating the login issues. ~RB2
I haven't experienced any game lag but chatting takes ages
Block the trolls, don't answer them, so we can remove the garbage from these forums
GW2 is much more popular than TSW was when it launched. This can't be compared to a launch that was most likely way below Funcom's expectations customers wise.
I admit I expected this to go a bit better, but really, popular MMOs always launch like this. It seems EU servers are having some login isues on top of being full, so I'm not expecting to play much today.
Official launch was midnight Pacific time or 9.00 CEST. OP posted it 43 seconds after OFFICIAL launch...
EQ2 fan sites
Some EU players are having problems logging in Anet have allready tweeted about it and are working on it.
In the same boat, was playing fine no lag at all then DC'ed and now i cant log in lol.
Just love MMOs
The reason TSW probably had a better launch was because no one bought it.
Rot in hell? Wow, Otashi, that's a nice sentiment...Very compassionate.
called a friend to mock him a little (he's a guildwars fan) and he is mad as hell about a "horrendous lag" as he put it.
Seems like trouble in paradise?
Good try ...the friend part gives it away
It's 43 minute now after launch and still the same though, but still far from calling it a failure though....I think they should award us some free play time!!!!!
