Well the purpose of the stress test is to see what the worst case scenario for user access to the servers.
They stated that the servers are not set up for this and want to see what happens, so they can put mechanics in place for when the game goes live.
If you aren't planning on spending 2 hours trying to get on and going, you might want to reconsider playing today ;)
Just fair warning :)
The Forbidden message has been replaced, now I'm timing out, so I'm guessing this is it.
Will update you all when I've managed to create an account etc.
G'luck
