Just incredible, I logged at 11h55 and, no single issue/wait time. Not a single small lag at all during my 3 hours of gameplay. Wow, very surprised and pleased.
Smoothest online game launch since ??? I didn't even believe that was possible since we are now accustomed to failure.
I think the fact that we all pre-loaded the xpac about 2 weeks prior launch was a huge help toward a perfect launch.
Did I just put perfect and launch in the same sentence...
Whatever they did to achieve this, this was an insanely well-conducted launch. Not a single problem with the servers at all. Not even lag, was below 100ms all the time as far as I can tell. If you consider that hundreds of thousands of people did the same thing at the very same time this is absolutely impressive - especially considering the problems we had just recently before the launch.
As am I, but I won't be getting much work done partly because I am watching the forums, and partly because I got 1.5 hours of sleep before coming into work.
I, sadly, was not able to experience this amazing launch. As I pre-ordered the game in-store, I wont get it till they open. And then I have class from noon till 5PM so being able to play this game with no breaks will have to wait till much later.

I don't always burn. But when I do, I use hellfire.
Thought about staying up till midnight, but based on previous launches I opted to get up at 4am for a few hours of play before work. Definitely worth waking up early for! Made it to lvl 65 in act 5, but man the drops were few and far between. Felt like I was outleveling my gear quickly.

I'm in the same boat. Ordered the CE and they wouldn't give it to me. Now I have to work and won't be able to play till about 7-8ish tonight. Glad to hear the launch went smooth though. +1 for Digital Orders huh?
The thing that most people seem to overlook is that the reason that this game had such a smooth launch was because the amount of players who bought it aren't anywhere near to other blizzard releases. It was indeed a very good launch but a bit sad as well.
Any numbers to confirm this?

I even think EU went live a couple of minutes ahead of schedule. Indeed, no problems at all! :)
