I think it's a shame that a game this anticipated could not have been managed better during pre-launch... I am a casual gamer, and in my opinion, waiting an hour and a half to play with my friends is not acceptable. Thank god I don't have to beg them to roll on another server with me just to play. I don't know maybe I am ignorant when it comes to server load balancing, but sheeeit son.
P.S. - If load balancing is "part art part science", then you got some scientists/artists who don't know anything but the episodes of Mr. Wizard they watched as a kid, while drawing ***** on an etch-a-sketch. Holy crap, I didn't know artists worked on servers in the first place!
I know I shouldn't sling insults if I don't have a solution, but I'll be a paying customer soon... and when i pay for entertainment like this I expect good service. Perhaps Bioware wants to wave the monthly until they get the problem fixed. I think that's a fair solution. And maybe... just maybe they'll get it fixed in less than three months?
