They totally didn't have "some time" to prepare for it, nope. They didn't have years, or at least months to prepare for that kind of demand, nah. They didn't have a closed beta AND an open-beta to give them "an idea". They also probably didn't ran "simulations" or had any types of numbers on papers coming out of their brilliant imagination.
I did my part, I paid, I waited. I launched the game, they said AND advertised that it would be live at 00:01 PDT (or 3:01 EST for me). I logged in, it didn't worked. It's that simple. It's a failed launch. It reminds me of ME2's launch on Steam with the Cerberus Network and people having dozens of issues even though BioWare said "we're ready!".
Anyway, I'll keep trying to get in for another ten minutes, if it doesn't work I'll go to sleep. I think I need just that right now.
