What happens when "early access" is "cancelled" by server fail?

Yeah, the nightmare was during official launch. Good times, good times.

Yoooo I've kept hearing about the nightmare that was 1.0's launch.
WTF you guys had it rough back then.

My favorite little horror story was def how players were getting trapped in the adventurer’s guild in Uldah because the doors opening was handled server side instead of client side, and due to massive server lag the doors wouldn’t open.
