if anything i think its going to get worse as everybody piles on at midnight tonight after heading into game / other brick and motor stores to pick up their copy.

That is the doubt nagging at me, i really hope it is ok, got to think positive
I am not working tomorrow, so will have most of the day to play it.btw, i have never heard of those shops!
you could argue they have a duty to not accept pre-orders over what they thought their servers could cope with ..

I simply don't understand how any of you are playing without constantly getting kicked/disconnected.
Trouble is you don't know what the servers can take till you overload them.
Nobody can predict how well this sort of proprietary architecture is going to scale.
Only way is to let it loose in the wild and see what happens. Working in a data centre, i'd love to working for EA's data centre team this weekend. I bet the stats for the workload of the servers would make for great reading.
I thought you could simulate IP traffic etc to simulate Server load
otherwise you'd never know what size servers etc you'd need
you'd have to assume that a good proportion of pre-orders will attempt to activate at mignight of the given launch date ....

1) These maps are not out yet, I think towards the end of the year???

Really?
does anyone else think the fact that the Karkland addon maps were a pre-order pre-order not made particularly obvious when ordering ?
I just keep joining them until i don't get DC'd or kicked.

My game passed release date check twice today, but failed to get into Battlelog.
I contacted EA Live chat and the guy said the game had unlocked globally this morning.
Obviously he was an idiot.
He must have thought I was an even bigger one when he asked for my CD key.
I didn't give it to him.
We're in the rollout of an electronic records system to the NHS at the minute, we were given a system by development that consisted of one Application Server the middle tier) a database server, a scheduler server and an emus server (emus handling integration with the clinical spine)
We were then told to scale that to handle the first 300 customers we'd be putting on it. Each of them with an average of about 20/30 users. so only about 100,000 users
We came up with a spec, and simulated the traffic etc.. but a year after release, the estimates were way off and we now have over 40 application servers where originally we though 10 would suffice
You can try and simulate this stuff, but its almost never right. And unless you've got money to burn, you don't over spec something.
Its been like it for me since Tuesday. At least now I get an error message so, there is progress !
they never said when they were released
Just said it included the DLC back to karkand at no extra cost.
They clarified in interviews when it was coming and stuff, but it wasn't in the headlines. People just assumed.
