Also, yeah, I expect the game to be basically unplayable the first few days or so. That's how it is with all expansions. Never understood why someone would take off the day it comes out, you should expect the servers to fail.

So the expansion release date is June 19th? To me that means the real playable date is somewhere around June 23-30.

That'd be a step down then. Cataclysm and MoP both had very seamless transitions. I was able to play on the first day of release without any lag or server issues. The starting areas were booming and all was working properly.

Don't forget we also have early acess days too. If the games are that unstable up until release, why even bother. Though I'm here still fiddling around waiting for more info on the steam version and if that comes with early access.

If you all think it's going to be bad for just 1 day at launch then prepare to be surprised... I won't be subbing again till after the 1st of July.

I doubt we'll see as much issues with Heavensward as we did with the ARR launch.

This is a constantly growing game that has had continuous issues with server space, extra servers would not sit collecting dust for very long. We have been hearing about lack of server space since this game started.

I seriously doubt we currently have more players than at launch, but I could be wrong I guess.

Players I am unsure, but there is definitely more content. If they ever want to expand housing, they will need more servers. Might as well do it with a large cash influx

doesnt matter what MMO you play. Expansion days are always a mess and overloaded.

I'll probably lie low for the first day of EA. I'll likely still have a ton to do on Hyrule Warriors if the servers are scuffling.
