Given that it's lunch time on the west coast, I'm betting it's something like "mysql server reports there are too many connections" or something like that :P
The forums they are breaking under the stress, captain! Re-route power from the waffle maker!
Yup. And it's not just a matter of throwing more hardware at the problem. Right now the hype & excitement engines are going at full tilt, so this is to be expected. Look at other MMOs that have large popularity - WoW & EQ2. Their servers are some of the best in the industry, and they still fold under lots of traffic. It happens. patience is a virtue. and I know people like me are annoying, sorry.
