It's still a good launch.
Extended maintenance isn't rare or unexpected, can't think of a single MMO I've played that hasn't had it.
Vanilla WoW wasn't nearly as smooth, (much as I love WoW, it's true.)

Been playing since release without so much as a DC so far, just the occasional salvage bug here and there.
Can't speak for your experience, but mine's been good.


And yeah, the website queue is weird..never seen that before.

EDIT: Servers are up.
