Uh, just because the servers are 'light' right now doesn't mean that everyone who has been given access has logged in, or is online now. If they dump a bunch of early access people all at once, at 5pm when people get home from work, the servers will be overloaded. Pretty simple logic here...

If you took the day off that's your mistake really; it was made abundantly clear that this would be the process, and so you wouldn't be guaranteed anything.
