Yeah, people are desperate to play, that's why they are flocking in droves to the US servers.

I just like how people are complaining about the Cap on the server population atm. I mean come on, allowing thousands of people to log onto a server all at once is not a good idea, hence the 1000person cap and increasing by 25% per hour.
The problem GOA have and is why they've ****** off so many people is that expectations were that at 8.30AM today I shoud have been able to register my key.
Now if they had said 'oops we messed up we meant 8.30am tomorrow' then no problem I wouldn't have minded (even though having 100,000 people trying to log in on one day was stupid from the offset).
It's all about managing expectations. With the way it currently is I think it's being managed by Funcom.

Sure they are, hence they have been spending hours moaning on sites like WHA.
I am sure some will, most will just vent and then forget all about it once they finally get online.Other games manage it without anything like that. I mean EVE online can go from 0 to 25k+ in about 15 minutes.
Sure, perma crashing the servers is not a good idea but 250 people per hour from 150k?

Of course they won't learn and they never will, people have been saying this will happen for about 2-3 months now, but they didn't take any notice.

This is classic GOA
Sent a cancellation request to EA Stores. Dunno if it'll work but I hope so. I explained that I predicted these problems due to experience with GOA being frankly crap before and that I didn't want any part of the game whilst they were in charge. Worth a shot.

After they deployed the trinity patch, they ran the same sort of thing with the servers. Took me a long time to get online.
I think the 25% per hour is not 250 people, its an increasing amount i think, adding more and more people (ie 25% of 1250 and so on)
Ive been trying to register periodically on and off for 9 hours.
I havent got to the email stage yet.

did the same to d2d
yep me too =D been in and out all day so unable to register when it has been available (conveniently when I've been out =D)
Ive got ****** off with this too. I will try again tomorrow morning. If its still telling me I'm not putting my password choice in the right way or giving me a 404/414 I will be asking D2D for my money back as well.
I've so far only been given a beta key (which have been given away free), so will be asking for a refund on that basis.

After this shocking launch I thought i'd check youtube to see if there was any open betya footage. I found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3aN7zVBv3w - awesome ( has some 'language' in it ) .. the GOA summer employee bit is what made me laugh most.
