Some of this could have caught then off guard. Last two expansion launches were the opposite of this. Totally smooth.

I'm wondering if there's a lot more people coming back for this than with Mists or if shit just broke last night.

It's probably a little of both. I haven't seen so many servers with at least "Medium" population in a long time.

It's weird because sometimes the lag disappears and the server responds instantly for a while, so there's probably some bugs causing things to back up when certain events happen.
 
I don't know why so many keep saying MoP was bug free. It wasn't at least on Whisperwind. Half our server at one point was stuck in the helicopters during the alliance intro. I'm just crossing my fingers they sort some of this out by the weekend so that the great level marathon can begin lol.

The Lich King = Arthas + Ner Zhul.

Well, The Lich King was still the Lich King when it was Just Ner'Zhul, before he merged with Arthas.
Although at that point "Ner'Zhul" is kind of innacurate, as the soul that Kil'Jaeden used to create the Lich King wasn't really that orc dude anymore.

I just remember them flipping the switch and then playing for hours. No disconnects or anything. Some lag spikes and overpopulated quest areas, but that was pretty much it. Nothing remotely close to this. And I'm on one of the biggest servers in the US.
 
no, MoP was nothing like this... at the same time I'm pretty sure it was reported that MoP's returning player bump was pretty minor.. We already knew leading up to this expansion there was a real player bump, so at release it seems likely that there was a pretty big surge.

Another Whisperwinder. Been on WW since day 1 launch.
 
Magtheridon - Alliance here. Was playing with a few glitches, nothing too crazy and then I got stuck in a turret for a tank mission.

Got kicked off the server, took about 10 tries to login and find my char and now its sitting on 90% loading screen.

:|
 
Pff.. got dc and 2756th in queue for Sylvanas-EU. Managed to lvl up to 95 today. There was a lot lag and some quests didn't work. I love all the pre-rendered cinematics. I wish they did small mini series like that on youtube.
 
Unplayable on burning blade. The garrison phasing is broken. Can't progress past that quest that finishes the garrison. Never had a expansion screw up on me like this
 
Damn, release day hype always gets me. I played since Vanilla and quit early on in MOP.

I'm broke and can't afford it. So, it'll continue to be the first expansion I won't be buying, but I really want to spend the next 10-15 hours leveling my 90 DK to 100 right now. The Molten Core raid and Tarren Mill/Southshore BG would be amazing too.

I messed around on a starter edition account earlier today. lol.
 
I'm use to the long waits. Happens on every big server every time.

I got to lvl 91 this morning. Few bugs and lag due to an overload of players, but it was pretty fun so far. Garrisons are Hella fun and I apparently haven't even gotten to the good part yet.
 
Waited in the queue for 2 hours and finally got to my character select screen. Then the loading screen moved to around 90% and was suddenly disconnected... back to the end of the login queue u_u

The helicopter glitch is the only thing I remember from MoP bug-wise and it was fixed relatively quickly (with several unofficial fixes before that). I think I went to work that morning and came home to that bug fixed.

Yeah, I had zero issues with MOP. Disappointing they seem to have taken a step back.
 
WTF...I wait in queue for almost 3 hours only to finally get in and it's loading character list but showing characters from a completely different server...wha?

edit: ok so I went back and reselected the server and everything worked
 
Game is completely broken, good job Blizz.

Ludicrous queue times
Retrieving character list
Boosted characters taking a long time
Garrisons don't phase properly
Massive loot lag
Stuck at loading screens
Disconnects
No ETA from Blizz on when shit will be fixed

But hey, at least the game was patched and ready to go ahead of time!

I seriously can't get over how long these times are.
Click to expand...

I'm doubly pissed because I have an hour and a half away from my wife and baby while baby sleeps and wife is watching a movie in the bedroom and I can't get in to play! I don't get a lot of this me-time Blizzard!
 
I can log into my server straight away but once I'm in it's totally empty. I can sometimes see other players but NPC's and mobs aren't there, casting anything comes with good minute delay and my hearthstone doesn't work so I'm stuck in an empty zone.

I'd rather be waiting a queue to be honest.

Whisperwind here as well....and holy hell man, fellow guildee, I had no idea you had a gaf account!
 
Transferring to Zul'Jin to play with friends was a terrible idea :(
I know it's one of the biggest servers but god damn, been in queue for an hour and a half and I'm still like 30 min away from playing.

I've been in the queue for 2 hours (after waiting in an hour queue that I got disconnected from and) so total of 3 hours so far and my queue time is 64 minutes still

It's getting a bit faster for me now.
I wonder what I'll get into first, a game of Halo MCC or WoW lol.
