Are you in game?  Is everything working well?

 I decided to try logging in some 20 minutes before the offical start time and got in without any issues, no que or lag, only got to play for a few minutes thought since I had to head to work.  Now I might of slipped in before the flood gates openned but it was pretty smooth to me.  Now only start up blunder I know of so far was actually a marketing mess up with the lifetime subscriptions so on onus on the dev team for that one.

All told smoothest launch I've been in to date

I've seen a few negative posts on this site.

Btw, I wasn't impressed with CO, but best wishes for those of you who enjoy and intend to play.

Pretty sweet and smooth so far. Server booted me once but I was able to get right in. Crazy that there is only 1 server. Pretty awesome actually.

Server opened 40 minutes early.  The servers dropped for a couple of minutes not to long ago, but it was quickly fixed.  No major lag or bugs.  Pretty smooth so far.  At least as smooth as the lotro launch.

I have to admit I've had no problems other than the occasional mini rubber band.  I got my life time pets, my lifetime costume peices Im quite happy about that.

How do you sell out Digital Downloads?

They had the FP patcher fiasco to start off their open beta issues. And he was also trying to say in another post that over 6 million people bought Champions without posting any sourced information.

Game Over man! The WoW Killer has arrived!! The first slash was the subs going sold out which means we got 1.5 million already signed up for Lifetime and 3 million signed up for 6 months!
Looks like people who thought CO was going to be a flash in the pan lost the war! See you Aug 28th! 3 day headstart!!!!!!!"

Lol at a made up 4.5 million alone on Lifetime and 6 month subs.

Fanboyism at its best.

Just ask DF Fanboys this, they will tell you

Although I'm not really interested in CO I'm very happy to hear that the launch is going well so far. I'm very interested in STO and a smooth launch for Champions only means good things for STO. Cryptic has seemed to have not only met but totally exceeded fan expectations with CO and this makes me very happy. To all playing Champions I have to say I'm glad you all have a great game that you are enjoying. To Cryptic I have to say congratz on a job well done! Hopefully the STO launch will go as smoothly as CO's seems to be going.

Good luck and have a great time playing what looks to be a truly great supers MMO!

Hope it went well. had a great time in the beta. Wish this game lots of luck.

I'm glad they solved the patch issues from first day of OB, and it hasn't resurfaced since. They did a lot of bug smashing the last two weeks, and it seems to be paying off. (Also, playing and loving it)

In the modern MMO market, the week or so of open beta is actually the beginning of launch. Why? Because 1) the game has gone gold and few changes will be made before the "official" launch and 2) this is the first chance the general audience has to try the game, and they do. The free week is the time when the game is trying to sell itself. Open beta was PAINFULLY bad initially, and a number of people (myself included) canceled our pre-orders because of it. So... I wouldn't count CO's launch as a particularly solid success. At least it wasn't the worst launch in MMO history. :)

 Um, no.

1.) Patches occur throughout open beta. Hence when 90 percent of people who play the game -->

2.) Purchase them in stores and don't even know what the hell your talking about when you say 'open beta'

I just love Professional MMO gamers who assume that Beta = Release and EVERYONE knows how the game did in Beta.  I hate to tell you this bud, but the average gamer cruising Best Buy on the 1st, buys the game, patches the game as he installs it, doesn't know a thing about what you are talking about.  He will have never read a single beta report in his life.  And that guy has been shown, statistically over and over again, to be the largest chunk of every MMO playerbase.
