They also have a much larger number of servers available right out of the gate as well, so that doesn't really matter. Rift launched with around 1 Million pre-orders with about 40 or so servers. From what I can tell, this game has somewhere around 3 million preorders, and there is a list of 120 servers ready to go. Numbers are obviously not exact, so any dispute with them would be perfectly fine if you know where I can find more accurate numbers.
