Well AO was far from ready when it went live as well, I remember the lag issues of Omni 1 and Tir the first few weeks....1/2 frame per hour in the crowded areas and constant crashing. But what the heck, aint all games just not like that as default the first many weeks, or boring like E&B (which is actually 1% the size of EVE). The main problem is the costs of having so extensive beta tests, since they actually have to get the game 100% ready to keep their customers, just see how many who ran away from AO the first few months.
