    I highly doubt they will go down. They will very likely lag like a bitch.

    You'll have to define what exactly is 'crashing' since there's a lot of things that can make the game inaccessible without actually crashing the game, like the reg/login servers going down without taking the game servers with them. I'm predicting they'll be largely unusable for the first 2 hours of headstart.

    I define it as anything resulting in our inability to log into the actual game, not just a select few servers.

    I bet they won't go down at all.
    I mean, they had their stress testing during open beta, right!?
    Right?

    I can hope right? =(

    If people understood the reasons behinds OB lag they might know why the servers might be stable for quite some time.

    I wouldn't put it past them that they might go down but I am not expecting a repeat of the bullshit that happened on the first day of OB.

    I am exepecting some lag before alot of people will jump on at the same time and that is almost inevitable.

    But i don't exepect the lag to last long when people spread and i don't expect the servers to go down

    Channel 10 go imo
    then again a shitton of people are going to think lowest channel is the best, which is going to totally just backfire
    so in that case, channel 6 goo

    I think that something will go wrong. Something will go down, but I do not think it will be the servers themselves. If not, there will be tremendous lag. I do not have faith in game companies realizing the full extent of how much they're going to get hit when launch comes.

    But hey, I am always happy to be proved wrong. I'm gonna be at work for all of the fun anyways. OHBOY

    Preselection and headstart should help relieve crashes but I'm guessing it will be pretty laggy.

    This is true, not to mention some of the people who were on OB won't be there today since they were using free codes.

    The servers wont be up until 30 mins to an hour after they said they will be up. After that I don't expect them to go down. They got it pretty much on lock since OB.

    Last I checked Yustiel and Kasiniel still had no wait time so you can try to play on those, shouldn't be bad at all.
