To all the people complaining, give it a week or 2 to settle down, yes they have problems now but have stated they are working on it. Not like anyone expected a 1000% increase in playerbase just because it went ftp. Not a lot you can to do prepare for that!
An increase in the player base seems a given to me. After all isnt' that the point? I went and played COX last night, didn't fancy the wait.
