It's likely that it isn't the case that they were unaware and unprepared for the number of new players (they did, after all, have the preorders to gauge by) but rather that the distribution of those players is non-ideal and they weren't prepared to handle that.
If that is the case, then why when I tried to make a new character on a different server were all servers but 1 unable to take new applications? Not that it matters, cause I am one of those legacy players you mentioned, why should I give up my character with levels and money just so I can log in quicker?
Did you skip over the part where I mentioned that because of the way they've structured the servers to support cross-server duty-finder that they've already reached the part where all of the servers are crashing?
