It is a little odd actually.

It's not odd at all, the servers didnt officially go live until today.

Can you imagine the outrage from gamers when a review comes in and calls is 7/10... gamers will be up in arms saying "How the hell can you review an MMO when the servers are not on until today".

With gamergate going on (lots of people complaining about the gaming press) I dont think it would be a good time to do a review of an MMO before it's actually online (i.e its impossible..lol) and still keep any resemblence of credibility.

Don't they usually turn servers on early for review copies of the game though?

Well how would you know the difference between reviewers and gamers who got the game early. So yeah they could have, but i think it's more disappointing people releasing videos of areas etc of the game before you even get a chance to load/play it. Especially a release this big.

Gamers have to get used to release day/day before embargos I think. Too many games are getting spoiled by players/reviewers.. I mean Eurogamer ruined all the easter eggs in Wolfenstien before I even got to play it... very lame :(
