Expansion launches have been a lot better lately. I think it’ll be busy, laggy, but over all above what people here seem to expect.

I am at my DR-DOS terminal ready to unleash! Oh you said DDOS.

DDOS, or just overloading the servers with legit players? Big difference.

Either way - yes.

Hey, what else am I supposed to do now that I cant hide behind multiboxing while botting?

Why yes I run WoW on MSDOS

DDOS is the corporate euphemism for not paying for more servers.

DDOS is a buzzword geeks use so they don’t get in trouble for not preparing.

I know. I’m one of those geeks.

DDOS is a corporate euphemism for…

" we do not want to hire people that know how to stop this."

You listening Blizzard?

Just found out what the real shadowlands expansion is:

I mean so long as it doesn’t affect Classic WoW I’m good. Got a raid 1 hour after Shadowlands launch.

It’s not a DDOS, it is everybody currently subscribed plus a million or so returning to check out the expansion all trying to log on at the same time.

It’s not DDOS.
It’s blizzard that doesn’t want to invest money for the launch spike

If we made it a 20 year prison sentence, this would stop you realize. Not because the punishment remotely fits the crime, but when you let humans get away with things long enough, society breaks down until a draconian punishment are the only way to restore a healthy fear of breaking the law and restoring civic norms.
