Well, I've read a few papers about it. Not having control over the hardware doesn't matter when there's enough of it. When something goes wrong, just rent more instances. It's slower per-node? Rent more instances. It may be more expensive moment-to-moment, but cheaper in the long run. And it will handle huge demand spikes -- clearly unlike their current system.That's actually a terrible idea. You can't run the servers of a game like this on the cloud. For one thing, you don't have control over the hardware. And you don't have your own people in charge of fixing things when something goes wrong. Also, it's slower.

My review of the 1st 50 miinutes. Graphics: 6.5/10 Rocks look great, but the two crows could use a bit more detail
Sound: 8/10 Crows, Flies and air flow sound really great, almost like im surrounded by a swamp late at night.
Replay Value: 10/10 I've been trying to solve the first puzzle on the main screen for awhile now, I could really sit here all night, frustrating but very enjoyable.
I feel sorry for those wasting money and bandwidth by streaming this right now lol.
The game is sold out everywhere in my area, I might just bite the bullet on the overly expensive digital version.
so heres a theory
blizzard intentionall retards the login on launch to create buzz (re: twitter trending) about the game which boosts their saturation of media coverage and boosts digital sales?
Conspiracy or brilliant strategy?
you're welcome
Past an hour now, and I believe it is actually getting worse. I never make it to authenticated anymore.
It's definitely getting worst. I've beaten the E37 game twice previously but it's had me stymied for about 20 minutes now since the E3006 game booted me back to the home screen.Past an hour now, and I believe it is actually getting worse. I never make it to authenticated anymore.
go to sleep americans
let the rest of us play its too early in the morning for you guys anyway cmon now
Same. This is expected, but still pathetic.Past an hour now, and I believe it is actually getting worse. I never make it to authenticated anymore.
That's the Game Over screen to the Error 3006 game. That means you lose and have to start the E37 game again.Buttons are all greyed out on character select screen, should I alt f4 or just wait it out?
Are the servers region locked ?
Can US players see people at Asian server?
I thought you weren't really looking forward to this game? >.>
Those that are in, did you just brute force it until you got in?
