D'oh! Near as I can tell, ANet is never going to get this one right. They have capacity problems during the first few hours of every new update.

Peak-load planning

Please let us know what you are doing to ensure that the game will not glitch when it suffers the one-time peak-loads during the first hours of Headstart and Launch. Tens of thousands (hundreds of thousands? millions?) of people will attempt to logon, create new characters, and rush into the start areas, filled with excitement, joy, and desire to be "first!" Those loads will never be matched (even if/when there's a new campaign).

And yet this same, easily-anticipated issue has ruined the launches (and reputations) of other highly-anticipated and pre-purchased games (D3 being just the most recent example).
