Okay, I see a whole lot of rage and crying over this staggered system, let's break this down and try to be intelligent about this. Let's say the flood gates were opened and everyone got to log on. The possibility exists that everyone gets in on their instanced zones and we all walk off into the sunset with our lazer swords. Sounds pretty sweet huh? Okay, now look at what could happen if Bioware didn't play it safe on this. Servers might start crashing left and right and even the instancing can't handle the load. All of a sudden the forums and every game media outlet is on fire with cries about a failed launch. The people who have never played an mmo or are on the fence see this and a large potential customer base is cut before it can form. A week from now people will forget about their frustration in waiting for their place in line, a failed launch would live on a lot longer than that. I'm an adult and have had to wait for something I've wanted before this and will have to again after this. Personally; I would much rather wait a while in line and preserve the reputation and future of a game i'm planning on dedicating quite a bit of my time to, than get instant gratification and be on an empty server months from now.
