Im completly sure you have same or worst issues with online games same as I have and in real life for sure so...to foolish words, deaf ears
Good for you? doesn't mean it is laod of crap though because EU players especially have been hit hard and before serveres went offline a large number of people were unable to log in and one of our guild member who managed to log in crashed due to horrible lag.
Just look at the amount of posts on Facebook where Anet acknowledged the issue and then tell us if it is indeed load of crap.

Like my previous post. SWTOR wasnt knocked so much for being bad int he technical aspect (as in having extended server issues, etc), but for simply being a bad/rehashed GAME. SWTOR was a bad game at launch, and is still a bad game. Runs smoothly sure, but its still the same old regurgitated crap.
After years of experiencing mmo launches from WoW to TWS I have to agree with you GG. ANET did fail to deliver on something they sold to their most loyal supporters. For anyone to say otherwise is not being honest with themselves. If it were 2004 it would be a different story as no one back then knew about the storm heading Blizzard's way. Who can honestly anticipate hundreds of thousands of players attempting to log into your game when you've only prepared for a few thousand based on numbers that were currently at play back then.
ANET on the other hand had plenty of time to prepare for this headstart launch. And if this is the type of experience regular joes have to look forward to in 3 days then ANET will have huge backlash before they even get there. First impressions go a long way to help bolster an official launch. But now that this has happen, there could be real problems getting more people to try GW2 in the first place. First adaptors are not the only ones experiencing these issues. The media will be reporting these them as well and when the masses start reading the various blogs, articles and reports from their respective sources, you can bet people with take the wait and see approach. How it will play out we won't know until the 28th.
I can't help feeling that ANET understands that GW2's headstart launch would be the earthquake and official launch will be the aftershock. Either way I'll be playing and enjoying the game for what it's worth. I'm a mmorpg geek first before anything else.

your really stretching it there
going back to the original question >> yes, this is a launch and it is a shitty launch at that. worst of the year, correct
It LIVES!
Actually scrub that, back at launch panel, it pathced a little...that was nice
This looks like a job for....The Riviera Kid!
I love people, not really, I do love launch days of any new game thank you all making smile while at work.
No I dont care about the game I hope all that play it have fun those that dont move on but man launch days bring us all out.
There is no raid, it's all endgame baby!
Yeah sure but if you really think about it , so is GW2 rehashed peice of crap, just using your words, because what do we really have here? Similar combat system to WoW WvWvWvW that was already done in DAoC , Warhammer hell even Shadowbane for the people like myself who played that one LOl,same old same old quest system , events that rift had and started and getting better. The ONLY Thing i noticed thats different with GW2in terms of difficulty is that you can pick up objects off the ground and throw them/use them ect , even the animation of cutting down tree's has been done in Vangaurd saga of heroes , I know I played every mmorpg to date, and beta tested 90%. So try to refrain from comments like the highlighted section please, makes your case moot.
P.S and yes I like GW2

If you think this is worse than the d3 launch you are smoking some serious stuff.. half of D3 wasn't even included at launch..
D3 is not a freakin MMORPG for God sake.

Well what was the excuse for it not having a huge portion of the content at launch? They had even longer to get it right than the GW2 team did and the amount of content in it is nearly insignificant in comparison.
guess the server is fully back up now so the forums will be very quiet now, but don't worry, I will still be here to read the forums since I am stuck at work.

I'm glad to hear it ! At least we can chat together while everyone is trying to log into that fail game which is copy of aion/wow/tera.

This is very true, SWTOR had launch issues because of its popularity. And if ANet is having the same issues, then its very good for them I guess. Since its box sales that is important to ANet.
We all know they have experimented with 1 million consecutive log ins, and they had major problems during BWE 1 , so if this is more than 1 million players, then good job ANET considering its only for those that Pre-purchased. For all those Pre-orders they still got the 1 day headstart, then its the official launch.
Also considering that most don't Pre-purchase so, the number of players is truly staggering.

you do know that WOW still have over 8 millions of players and TERA and AION also have a big following. I really do hope ANET gets atleast 3 or more millions of boxes sold. For the 3 hours that I played this morning, its definitely a fun game.
