I don’t think it has anything to do with throttling, the blue that replied here was replying back when the original poster posted the wrong error code. The throttling is just the queue we are sitting in. The error is something else.
There is a lot of correlation between here and on twitter with people logged in initially and leveled for a bit (level 4-5) and then got this error. This is probably unrelated though, just a coincidence.
I just spent 9 hours of my day sitting in a digital line for a chance to be told to “please go back to the end” by you guys same error over and over can we get some actual ETA? or maybe you all can extend the beta length because man i really wanted to play but insted i got to stare at the same loading screen FOR 9 WHOLE HOURS
i highly doubt it’s a throttling issue as many of us have been in this state since the beta launched. Others have been logging in since. Makes no sense to throttle a group of people and then let the flood gates open for everyone else.
The error also doesn’t suggest any kind of throttling. It suggests our accounts do not have valid licenses to participate in the beta.
All of blizzards posts about throttling refer to the long queue times, not black listing people.
If you want to play, I think without waiting for blizzard is to refund and purchase on another account and then refund that account and re-purchase on your main account after its fixed. What a dumb way to play the game.
Hey there been having this issue all day. Just got in. Canceled my preorder, created a new account ( same PC) preordered again and bam straight in. Same install so its 100% account based. Will cancel again and move back to my account if they sort it, not ideal but 100% works.
This is a weird way to throttle people. Why are we waiting 2 hours to learn we can’t access the servers? Is the 2 hour wait not throttling enough?
Small sample size, but 2 of the people I know that pre-purchased the game can’t get in, while the 2 people I bought chicken sandwiches for can get in. Seems weird
So I went to sleep, just woke up again to try to get back into the game with the hope of low to none queue times.
Good news, I have no queue times.
Bad news, I still have the same error.
its now 2:24 am CET here, hasnt been fixed since around 5:30 CET until to 2:24 AM CET.
