Reminds me of wow and their garrison quest other game exact same issue; developers not thinking/ preparing what will happen when there are a lot of players trying to get into the same instance.
It can't be that hard to temporarily increase the instance/ login server capacity when you release a big expansion for a big game!

HW wasn't anything like this.

HW was more tame than this. FYI~

It was worse.
Day 1 was the server kept crashing and that's when they started the instancied area and the whole return of the limited number of instance for msq etc...
SB they just right away put limit only the handful of people that rushed at the first hour got through pretty much.

Almost all the servers, except for the Japanese ones, are new! That's what is annoying a lot of people.

oh calm down, if there was a need to take the game down the staff would have done it.

I can vouch for that, I specifically didn't plan for much SB today due to HWs launch. This is pretty much standard for MMO launches.

Yeah, this is horrendous. Fourth time now I have gotten kicked from POTD on the last floor or two before the end (XP). Waste all the time going through up until 98 or 99 and then I get kicked and can't get back in.

Wasn't the point of moving the data centers was so they could accommodate all this? Like I get it, there's a ton more traffic than usual on expansion days, but at the same time they should be prepared for this stuff. I played Legion at launch and I pretty much had zero issues. Where as here, I've been DC'd at least 10 times already within 2 hours and then get thrown into a queue of 1200.

Wait what, really? I was on Sarg then and I had only a lobby error or two when I was relogging from a fantasia. Guess I was lucky, I didn't know anyone who had anything more than that either. My bad then if that was common.

I had no issue because i pmuch blasted the first area and when the congestion fix were being thrown on the server i was already past lv53-54.
The major issue was the multiple server reboot in the early hours, then the maintenance before it was a bit more stable.

They need to either increase capacity and just lower for other instance or they need to just trow a maintenance or server reboot after 1h to flush some players out. Stupid thing but that's how lot got through in HW.
