Client access has been terrible from server opening until now. Cant believe they did not plan for this. One of the worst Headstart launches ive seen. The last two AAA mmo launches had it covered and were much cleaner.
Ive had several disconnects so far. Played since it opened 3 hours ahead of time. - The first 30 minutes spent trying to log in. Then I played for a while and got network error disconnect about 5 times since then. I havent been able to play with my friends yet, because we cant use the group join in, its not working. That has been the big let down for me. Not being able to zone to other overflows to group with my rl friends or my husband. Having to play solo'ish
Just now I've been disconnected with: wrong password error LOL.
Back to watching the connectivity wheel on the launcher. Maybe time for a midday nap instead.
I've been playing on a Euro (overflow) server (medium load) for about 3.5 hours now and just got kicked, telling me that I need to check my password or something. Can't log back in a the moment, so I wouldn't call it a disaster, but it's early access now and I hope they can fix stuff by launch.
The black lion trading stuff doesn't seem to work and besides login issues in the first half hour of so and being on overflow and not having WvW access everything went pretty well, up till now. If I'm back here crying I can't log in in half an hour you'll know I'll have had problems logging in for a least an hour. OMG!!!!
LoL I remember the same problems pretty much every other mmo ever released had on launch day . 4 hour cues in WoW on some servers even three months after release . You just have to expect these things . All part and parcel of playing mmos .
It's "prime time" in Europe, while most of America is still sleeping...
I played for 6 hours without any major problems this morning (Europe). My guess is that ANet are victims of their popularity, just like WoW was 8 years ago.
At least, when the servers are up, you don't have to watch a login screen with a queue counter for 30+ minutes before you play. Overflow server for the win.

I hoped that the stress tests would give them enough data to prevent such issues. Unfortunately their servers seem to be unable to process the huge amount of players trying to login at once in the game and on the website. The stress tests had similar issues, just not with so many players, so they were able to fix them quickly. I wonder what's taking them so long this time. While GW2 is a good game overall, I am a bit disappointed by these login problems, which should have been fixed before head start.
Greatest problem for me is zone switching. It seems like the game rolls the dice. 50/50 chance to get to Overflow server or to get disconnection with "cannot log-in" problem. Logging in lasts from 5 minutes up to an hour. Had about 10 crashes since morning.
I have played since servers went live this morning so about 7hrs. Have only been kicked out 2 times 1st time took me 10min to get back on and currently I have been out for 5min. So far having also played both SWTOR and TERA this has been best launch.
Only 2 annoying things are lac in chat whispers and guild recruiting is laggy so people accept invite but it does not register for about 10 to 15min.
I am on Gandara server (EU) and it is packed solid with players here.
got my e-mail so i decided to login.but tto no avail..seems there are problems in the uk.or europe in general..oh well back to TSW for now..will try tomorrow when all servers maybe a bit more stable.
The game client is unable to gain access to the log-in server at this time. This is most commonly caused by our servers not being able to handle the load of several million people all trying to log in at once. This unprecidented load at launch is not normally experienced by other MMOs as they done have enough players. Please bear with us whilst we fix this issue.

I got an error saying "Incorrect Password" and got kicked off. WHY ME?! I have managed to get to level 11 so it is not all bad.
Guess i can use this time to make a cuppa while i wait.
Poor you! Looks like everybody is kicked though. Time for a break and try again in a few hours. That way we can catch up to you a bit. Only level 6 here .
