This is still WAY better than SWG was. I remember barely getting to play two hours for the first three days that SWG was live....
With EQ2, on the other hand, I've gotten to play over eight hours yesterday and today (when I got my copy), and have only really run into problems this evening. This launch is still smoother than average. Let's see how the weekend turns out and then we'll have a better idea how persistent these issues might be, at least for the short term.
