Heh. I was there for the midnight drop -- I'm on Pacific time, so midnight Cave Time is 9 PM for me. There were around 100 - 150 people in each biome at first, and it was laggy as heck, but I still managed to catch 6 on the first drop and my seventh on the 10-minute drop.
Then I checked in at the next hour, and was surprised to see only 10-20 people per biome. I suspect the storm had a lot to do with it -- huge numbers of people on the East Coast are still without power, and TJ did say traffic was still down. I've never seen a limited edition drop with so few people. Good for us, but bad for the folks recovering from the storm. I will probably hang onto at least one of my eggs to gift to someone who wasn't able to make it to the release.
it seems like most people got their eggs in the first rush and it was pretty calm afterwards, yes. I think a couple people also said they were going to be away during the weekend. but for me it was better now because during the week I can not play, so I'm glad the drop was today. ^^"
