Thread: 3.0 Launch - Server Planning

In response to the "not going to buy more servers"as 2 people said: they really do already need new servers and with the excess money they have made from the item store as well as pre-orders...well....when people can eventually actually do a pre-order (website down for 10 hours, that a record for one of the worst launch days just for sales ever?)...it's time we got some love in the form of hardware. It may not fix their cock-up of housing, but it would help immensely with the 3.0 launch.

Oh boy, don't think you tried to play WoD in wow the first week it released.....it was hell....

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.

Pre-order early access will be completely hosed.

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

What's gonna suck is for people who have early access and are unable to play those days due to traffic. :-/
