BluBarry 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2017 I am writing this while being 9k in queue... I find it interesting that those complaining have no memory of how WoW launched initially. Blizzard, who was making TONS of money, had to give out almost 14 days of free time over the course of the first month because of login issues. That was still considered a good launch... when so many people could not log in... many people crammed into like 5 servers and queue times were terrible... that is why they offered free migration to other servers... It was a few months before the game ran "smoothly"... When I hopped on Retail the night the game dropped I was lucky... I got into Illidan just before log-in servers went to crap... I was able to stay online 24 hours ( way to damn long) and play while my friends had to sit around twiddling their thumbs. The people that run this, do so for free... They make no money from us and they have had a much better launch that Blizzard did. I was pissed when I dropped from queue last night right before I got in, and when I got it to make a character only to disconnect during that characters actual creation... i was not pissed at the guys running the show here though, just my bad luck. None of us here are owed anything, we are not entitled to even play Vanilla WoW... I understand expectations being high, but remember... odds are you pay way less for this than you would/did for the actual game. Remember to breathe and have some fun......... as soon as you can log in... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Knetik 2 Report post Posted January 8, 2017 Many are upset because they were continuously told that 1 server isnt enough for launch and they refused to listen. If they were worried about splitting population, they could have merged nameservers across 2 servers, merged later if needed. There are many other solutions to the queue issue. In many other games you also dont get DCed while in queue and have to sit through a 15k queue 4-8 times to get in. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taladril 43 Report post Posted January 8, 2017 I was expecting needing a second server as well but from the position they are in I would not have suggested it either. What if there was only enough pop interest for one server? Now you've got one DOA plus possibly hemorrhaging of the other servers. That's just bad news. Even though it sucks now, the queue is proof positive that another server will not only be a safe choice that doesn't destroy the other servers at the same time, but also the right choice. At this point I'm concerned we will need 3 more servers at least but I wouldn't advocate spinning up that one until there's proof positive need for it. It's good to see that every server is easily a healthy population. It's what we want and it's what's best for the project. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
