Same here. Is it time to say "called it"? If the servers are at max capacity now, imagine next week and when the game is live :lol:

Someone was not properly prepared.

Same. EA Servers have reached full capacity.

This is some bullsh*t.

I took the day off, pre-ordered the game to get into the VIP Demo, now they've given away tons of game codes on Twitter and whatnot (which is fine!), and now it's too full for me to jump in?

I expect demos like this to have some issues, but if it's truly about capacity I'm not very pleased.

Someone was not properly prepared.

If you did call this then you called it. I would have disagreed with you and been WRONG.

The bright side is this is EXACTLY what they need. They need server stress and a big group of people playing the game to get a wide swathe of metrics for making improvements prior to 22 Feb.

The dark side is this isn't the greatest way to start things out.

Well this is a disappointment. Maybe I'm too much of an MMO person, but I prefer the other type of online launch where you sit in a queue of 9,873 watching it slowly crawl down before the servers go down completely at 3000ish and you start again. Spamming enter just isn't the same.

What I don't get is how the EA servers can be at max capacity. They have hundreds of thousands if not millions of gamers daily across all their games, they must have some of the biggest and best servers in gaming, I don't understand why this would happen.
