It's not economically feasible to create an authentication server strong enough to handle the initial load of the most preordered game ever and have it be over-specced the remaining 99.9% of its lifetime.

Sadly, letting people login and create characters early but not start games would just push the DDOS to the game creation part.

You know how often I agree with Quark (like never), but, in this case he's exactly right.
