I can however say that it's equally unstable across most, if not all, servers. Started on Istan, one of the heaviest populated, and I moved on to Riverside, one of the lightest. Both have extreme lagg and random dc's.

at least it gives me time to eat dinner. its 22:12 here and i haven't eaten anything cause i was asleep so i could pull a whole-night's game...

So I'm starting to gather that most of the people who pre-purchased for the open beta access thought they were pre-purchsing for a closed beta access.

I feel the urge to tell you all that you're participating in a stress test.  All you do in a stress test is log in and drop out.  You don't actually play with any quality of experience.  The servers aren't broken, they're inundated.  Working as intended at this stage.

GW2 support forusm crashed as well...

Well , server buckling down like this - on closed beta - where they know exactly how many people will play ...

Its pretty disappointing.

Didnt expect that.

Thats a terrible start. i still keep getting network error

One more reason for me to trust only blizzard games from now on.

All other companies are bad fail trolls that trying to steal our money.

I hope they vanish from earth for the good of gaming.

same thing as always open beta crash fest, when will I learn.

meditation time.

Oh yes, because WoW had no problems at release... oh wait! ;)

And I won't even mention the recent catastrophic Diablo II beta week end, which is not even a MMORPG.

Mate.

This is not beta testing of server structure by rookie company called "Birdy down games Online" its a company specialised in MMOs that done their homework on server structure ten years ago.

Its not like they didnt know what to expect

Well the word has lost its meaning unfortunately. There was a time when Betas were bug-infested, and instead of playing the game we would spend most of our time filling out bug reports while trying to carry on thru the game. I loved it. 

Now Beta just means "demo" and is more of a marketing scheme.
