[Main thread] World server down issues

Indeed. EVERY expansion this happens.

I know it happens every expansion but stop doing a whole world launch at the same time if you cant handle it.

This would be a great post for the failed launch of BC. Or Wrath. Or Cata. We’ve seen this too many times. I feel really dumb for getting my hopes up this time.

Kirin Tor - World Server down when taking portal to Dragon Islands

I cannot log into my account on the Vek’nilash server, but I am able to log in on other servers. This seems to be an on-going issue on Vek’nilash.

Blizzard simply is 100% maxed on “instances”, so ALL instances are “not found” at the moment. Anyone changing zones to anywhere is going to get locked. DO NOT change zones.

Lesson learned… be a twitch streamer and you get priority

It was probably a bad idea to request a server change for my character, huh

Can we have a launch that doesn’t end up booting tons of people and not letting them get back in cause the servers can’t handle the mass amount of players YOU KNEW were coming in to play??? thanks

During all the testing and all the beta ONE person needs to stand out and say we cant have a launch failure so lets make sure it works. THEN TEST THAT nothing else but getting the players into the game, I guarantee your this issues is not hard, just a lazy over paid group of intelligent morons---- lets make a game (haha) but not make its access a priority on launch. Beyond dumb. its incompetent’s, like going and paying for a dinner that never had food to give you.

Heya any updates? So many of us are still stuck here

Did you guys put any cash into server stability? There was more people playing when Lich King launched and it wasn’t this bad. I don’t get it. Where did you put the money?

Mal’Ganis horde is still down.

They have to make sure that all the Twitch streamers can play. They’re the ones who bring in money to Blizz. We’re just peasants and peons to them. The streamer gods are all that matter. Bow down to the streamers.

I don’t see a solution. Almost 2 hours now, what are yall doing over there??? Besides NOT FIXING THIS GAME!??!?!!?

What does the year have to do with literally anything? Are you saying not being able to manage and maintain servers in 1995 to similar population:capacity is somehow less relevant now?

News flash: Making sure servers don’t explode when a bunch of people take time off work to play on launch day, elevating the server caps by many times over what they normally are halfway through the previous expansion is not easy work.

Read my previous comment. It’s not Blizzard’s fault. It’s literally the fault of everyone coming to play that doesn’t normally play at these hours, or doesn’t normally play at all.

If people stayed at work, or stayed in school, and played when they got home after the normal playerbase capacity has settled in, or didn’t quit half a year ago and decided to just now come back for the expansion, these launches would not be an issue.

I love how they are offering Free transfers off Area 52 now but all services are unavailable when you click it… Sounds about right

I know right… seems crazy right

This happen every e-pack and blizz knows its going happen why cant the fix it Right the fight time so servers don’t crash with to many ppl trying to do the same thing at one time
