My big concern was how the billing stuff would hold up with both lineage 2 and COH going off at the same time but I have not heard or seen any complaints on that at all. Lag in the head start was fine and I played about 12 hours total and never map discoed once nor had any other issue.
We can officially call this release the BEST RELEASE EVAR!!!1!!@!
I waited a little bit after noon on pre-launch day to login, and never had a problem getting in. Very little lag. I think I've had all of 2 map server disconnects in release. Not one client crash, not even in beta. The only bugs I can find are things like missions reseting after zoning, or chat channels switching windows after zoning. None of them are gamestoppers, or even bothersome.
Billing was a dream. It worked, from the get go, with absolutely no problems. And I did my billing information at about 6:30 CST on Wednesday (the official launch day), prime time.
DAoC had set the bar high before, but its lack of content for all levels and realms put it a good notch below CoH. Sure, they only have 40 levels instead of 50? And? Those levels all have content, working quests, etc. The task force mission bug is the worst thing I've heard.
Yeah, CoH is the standard by which all future MMOG releases should be judged.
