All kidding aside, I work in the IT industry on the Application side. Clashing with the hardware and DB admin (security, database, etc) groups is almost a weekly occurence nowadays. We know what the application needs to work correctly, however they do whatever the hell they decide to do without listening to our recommendations. It's stupid, stupid...
I wouldn't be surprised if this were the case as well. But what do I know, I'm just some idiot paying customer....
this kinda reminds me of the sexual reproduction chart they showed in Sex Ed in High School....SWG is the egg, and we're all the desperate little sperms...lol
We are currently experiencing some slowdown in the registration process because we ****** up yet again in our attempt to make the most money without spending any on quality hardware. We are slowly working on resolving the easily predictable issue and apologize for the inconvenience.

PS. If you read your EULA carefully, you will see that we are not liable for any problem such as this one once we've collected your credit card number.
You compare SWG to the hackable Blizzard games? None of those are MMO. Ever see added content in those games? Ever had several hundred ppl in the same game? If you can't pay for premium MMOs then why even post here?
Wait until WoW, then you will have a comparison. Until then it's just an apples vs oranges comparisons.
With all the delays and 4 years of everquest, you would think that they would have prepared for the large amounts of people trying to register. I mean, c'mon SOE, you mean to tell me that after all the bragging and hype on this game, that you guys are suprised that 1000s of people went out, got the game, and now are ALL trying to get on at the same time. I have a 3yr old with more common sence than that. Thus, we have YET ANOTHER MMORPG launch go to complete CRAP!!!!
i had the server script errors and such on account activation/subscription the key to getting past is patience. i tried to do it and while doing it i was bringing up other things messing around being bored, seems to have caused enough interruption to give mess up the process. the way i found to get through account and subscription is to leave it up and uniterrupted and as the only thing running on your comp...its lonley here on corbantis....i was the only one on for an hour and at most there where 3 more on :/ come be a dance damn my mind focus willpwr and battle fatigue need you! :)
Plus, I've tried 25+ times to login. Hopefully it won't add up all the extra months for every attempt else I'll be stuck taking a second morgage on my house just to pay for this game....
Well a couple hours so far, then Login/accont servers has seemed to choke (as in now off-line). Ohh, looks like the backup is on-line... Ack Script errors now!!!
Welcome to opening day. The force must not be strong with me.
You know they have to have your credit card before you play the game..... I guess they couldnt give us the free 1 month subscription and when it ends ask for credit card. I could see where that would save a ton of people a lot of hassels the day a game is released. But as you know Sony is Money Hungry. Just look they have 250,000 people paying for Everquest, probably 50,000 people paying for EQOA, EQ2 comming soon and now SWG, guess they want 500,000 people paying them 15.00 a month to play a game. Thats a nice 7.5 million income per month.
I remember when web access for games was free :( Good old days of Diablo, Warcraft and Starcraft.
Q-3P0 posted that the registration server has a hardware problem. You can still register, but the performance isn't that good.
They expect the hardware to be fixed soon and you all should see a sudden jump up in performance.
Of course, it's 3 PM EDT. In about three hours all of us East Coast people will get home from work and begin frantically trying to register our accounts. :)
