It feels rushed to me since their reveal event didn’t even show anything. Few screenshots of a new UI and announcing the new race, more or less.

Even if it can be launched in November or whenever, I have a feeling it going to be in a worse state than Shadowlands was at start.

The server infrastructure they use is high performance computing systems and they are more similar to current cluster super computers than normal data center hardware. It is no surprise that they are unable to source their hardware from traditional vendors such as Dell and HP. The biggest issue for them is going to be bandwidth between server nodes and that is most likely multiple 40 Gig connections. Because of this rare tech, we are going to have to wait. They used their cache on Japan and EU first, then we get the next batch but because of the wait, our hardware will be better and the methods to deploy will be more refined. Waiting is not a bad thing in this situation.

I have not found any information about their server hardware. :3 So we can only speculate. xD But getting x86 standard hardware is not difficult anymore. So i guess, they use something special. But i hope, that the do not use Itanium or Alpha architecture. :)


Cheers

I'm a White Mage, casting Stones and Glaring is what I do when I am not being all Holy.

Joke's on you. Life has stunned me repeatedly. Gotta wait for that resistance to wear off. :^)

Kinda sad about it, was really thinking about moving, but in reality doesn't matter since I am barely playing now.

Yes but they could modify the servers to be fully housing instead
