Able to get into the server, but when i try to log in just get “Character not found” over and over and over, cant create a new character, and none of the allied races are showing up.
I apologize the post that I started this indicated it was simple traffic, which was what we thought it was originally. I’ll update that to avoid confusion.
To be clear, the servers are upgraded to handle the traffic. There are issues at play, which is being looked into.

Question: Don’t we all pay to play the game??? Why is it that some of us suffer the lack of infrastructure… I mean, Blizzard, you’re very aware at how many of us play - it kind of lines your pockets…
Just A Thought…
Please don’t apologize. Nobody can properly estimate the amount of traffic Shadowlands has. I myself didn’t think it would be this big.
I appreciate you taking the initiative to communicate these issues and responding to individuals commentary and technical issues.

switch from stormrage to a hordie alt realm, now switched back to stormrage, now my horde character names are showing up
can confirm waiting a moment loaded all chars on Tichondrius
edit: with gfx out of date
So if this crash is related to the level squish and making everyone’s character a lower level, could it be that the new information and the huge amount of players logging in is creating an overload greater than originally anticipated? Could we all be patient? Its not like this has ever been done before…

Meanwhile at Blizzard Servers, Murlocs are running around screaming in panic as everything around them is on fire. Several are cowering under a desk rocking back and forth. Others are standing still arms in the air vibrating.

Any time I do successfully to the character screen and attempt to log in, I am met with “character not found”.
Also, despite having 9/10 allied races unlocked before prepatch I now can’t select any on the character creation screen.

I figured it would take this long and such. I’ve been playing wow for a very long time and I think it’s just part of it at this point on pre-patch or even xpac day. I’m very curious to see how the leveling works. as well as @Alleria I am on the same server and having the same issues. It’s just a loading problem right now.
Why is it that every big streamer can easily log in and us normal people can never get into your game every launch or big event
