-1 min, server still up. There might be a chance despite the spam.


Edit : yup, crashed at 00:00. Of course.

lol holy shit.

This is why I have a macro:

/tar Archmage Khadgar
/script SelectGossipOption(1)
/click StaticPopup1Button1

Plus spamming the "interact with target" keybind (has to be set manually).

Although my server is not that populated so I am hoping the realm stays up.

Am I missing something? Is the expansion live now?

For EU.
 
Have WoW expansions always been this rocky? I'm really confused because I imagine the server set up for WoW can handle up to 12 million users, and I thought it was down to 7.5 right now. Shouldn't it be able to handle this?

They don't have servers set up to handle even close to seven million people at the same time.

The last few haven't been. Mists was seamless when they flipped the switch at midnight (at least in the US). Jumped right in with no problems.

Kinda worried about the US servers tonight now.

Wait, is the expansion live right now? I thought it was coming in, like, 9 hours from now?
Live in Europe. Still 9 hours to go in the US.
 
We just experienced a disconnection which pushed a portion of the community offline, we're looking into this and working on this issue right now.

We'll update with more news as we get it.

From the EU forums. Seems like a pretty big portion >.>

Yeah, time for bed.
 
Blizz doesn't want another opening of the gates where everyone gathers in the same spot.

Makes everyone talk to Khadgar.

I thought about that too, kinda funny.

On the bright side, Body and Soul talent (speed boost when shielded) now last between 30sec and 1min, that's glorious.
 
Anyone in SoCal going to the Launch Event? A couple of friends are going, but I won't be able to make it until about 8p, don't know if it will be worth it at that time. Any launch event pics?

It's right down the street from me, but I don't really feel like trying to squeeze into the courtyard area of the Spectrum to get an autograph a week after Blizzcon.

They may run out of wristbands by 8 PM, but I'd say it's worth a try, the dev team is really nice to talk to.

Got kicked off, logged back in back at my hearthstone location :(

Back on the EK loading screen trying to get to the Blasted Lands now...

You'd think they'd have learned by now that funnelling the entire server through a single point is a bad idea.
 
Sorry If it's been asked before, do they still offer scrolls of resurrection? I'm tempted do buy the expansion and resubscribe but not sure yet...

Well I wouldn't expect the entire WoW pop to log in at once even for the expansion, but the idea is they have a beefier infrastructure to handle a larger subscription base. So having infrastructure in place to handle population spikes when your user base is at 12 million should prepare you better for the same spikes with a lower population, because the spikes should be smaller.

I guess the Iron Hide is hype.
 
Got the quest, talked to Khadgar, got the cinematic...back at Blasted Lands and I dced.

That was a cool cinematic though. Storm the portal!

MoP als had a rocky start in EU when it launched. My C.E is coming tomorrow during the day and by that time the huge flux will be clear and i can play normal.

No not anymore only recruit a friend is a option now when your in game.
 
Now I remember why I swore I'd never even attempt to log in on a launch night again. Queue to open battle.net, then fight the login servers, if you get past that then queue for *checks* two hours or so while hoping you don't get disconnected, then when you do get online, pray the servers don't crap out and send you right back to the beginning.
 
Well it's fair enough. Not like they have 10 years experience in this or something :D And they raised the sub price here in uk. Wow indeed...
 
Long gone afaik. You get a free boost to 90 though if you buy the xpac

Not really interested in the boost to 90 to be honest. I've missed so much since Wrath that I kind of want to see what Cataclysm did then jump into the new expansion.


So no scroll anymore? Bummer :(

So I'm back in Blasted Lands and stuck, guess I'll get d/c soon.

Fake edit : got WoD loading while typing that. And I'm in !
 
MoP was flawless compared to this for me

Yes i was in-game also it went a bit more flawless but holy damn my whole server was on the flying ship towards Pandaria i logged out and went back the other day it was pretty messy because i couldn't talk to any of the quest npc's.
 
have fun everyone. still feels weird to not feel like playing a wow xpac at launch, but I really dont, and Im not going to force it and very likely not enjoy it just because im "supposed" to play at launch. maybe in a few weeks, after im done with Inquisition and shit, when I dont have other stuff I really want to play right now, and I can actually play it focused.
 
coming in a bit late, but curious if there are any in game media available yet showing the new models in action?
 
And here I was saying earlier in the community thread that the servers would transition smoothly. Sorry WoW peeps =[

I wonder how they pulled off the MoP launch.

MoP/Cata/Wrath all had multiple ways to start the expansion content, rather than funnelling entire servers through a single zone.
 
lmao the 2h axe reward from the first quest is the dinkiest thing in the world, I thought it was a 1h until I checked my loot specialization.

Must be a toothpick with the most akward animations on a female belf or something.
