Really? Your is a common complaint, so perhaps I'm just weird, but I was neither surprised nor upset by the opening day crunch. It was certainly nothing compared to, for example, WoW's release day. Or some of Steam's releases, back in the day. With D3, I logged in on release day, got the error a few times. Came back a couple hours later, and managed to log in. Played around a bit, had a good time. There were some occasional lag spikes, but nothing catastrophic. The next day, I had no problems with logging in at all (only a very occasional lag spike). All days since have been smooth sailing.
