I think the issue here is twofold.
The announcement that it was open to everyone was about 2 days notice. Most people were probably expecting an invite, and people who don’t read the forums may not have realised or remembered it was happening.
It was during the day on a weekday, so many people lack the ability to access it.
I’m saving my subscription for August, no sense in spending 30 bucks or more to play a few stress tests. If they wanted to truly stress test then make it non-subscription base and have the game absolutely flooded with poor schmucks.
They definitely didn’t have enough people. There were over 20 servers up, then went down to 2?
They should have let no sub accounts and starter accounts. Who cares if they are even bots? It’s a stress test.
Im not subbing to stress test and Im willing to bet the majority aren’t either.
If you want me to stress test, you can pay me, not the other way around.
I will be playing classic hard core, but I am not doing any testing.
for Blizz, it is all about subs
no sub, no play.
