Except in the blue post and thread announcing today’s stress test (WoW Classic Stress Test on May 29), they acknowledged that the login and other problems encountered in the first stress test didn’t allow enough people in to test the stuff they wanted to stress test, like layering. Hence, today’s stress test was scheduled so that they could try to accomplish what they wanted in the first test.
Yet once again, the login and character creation issues occurred, keeping people out of the game itself, resulting in not enough people getting in to properly stress test the layering tech. In fact. for me and others, we didn’t even make it as far into the login/character creation process today as we did last time, so in that sense, it was even a step back not forwards. It was only after the two hour official stress test window that most people were able to finally get into the game.
But I suppose the good news is that they will need to schedule a new stress test in a week or so to finally get to where they wanted to be the first time around, and the second time around. Hopefully the third time will be the one that finally works and they can finally move past stress testing the login process and character creation/selection issues.
