If, however, you&rsquo;re one of those who are counting the days, you may want to get your pre-orders in ASAP.<\/p>\n<p>A Bioware representative at Gamescom has explained that the game will actually have limited copies available at launch. This is due to EA&rsquo;s concerns that servers may become overloaded by the initial surge of people trying to connect simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>While the representative did admit that there is an exact number in mind, Bioware isn&rsquo;t telling right now.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of popular games have had server problems at launch, so this could be seen as a smart move by EA.
