Why is the game down?

Internet points.

We have been trained (I’m not a tinfoil hat guy, btw) by social media to want as many interactions to our internet posts as we can get. We want likes, responses, views, etc.

I do my own maintancnece on my car, I dont need a company to do it for me. Either let me play the game or let me maintain my own game server so I can play without these interuptions!

Apparently, people think that a “new player” like OP, somehow got 11k achievement points overnight.

I wonder how I would go about doing that. I’d probably run all the old raids on a max level character, that would be about 4000 more points from a fresh account, right? Then I guess I would go to the barber shop, fall off the mage tower in Stormwind, and do the dungeons as well. Maybe that’s 6000 or 7000?

So you managed 11535 achievement points overnight.

Not bad.

“Peak hours” gave himself away.

Hmm… idk how many it would be, but you probably have a ballpark number there.

Maybe with some dungeons thrown in, it would bump it up further.

I imagine most legit new players nowadays are flailing about, getting lost in the BFA storyline lol.

It was kind of you to explain it to him, but there is little chance of the OP being experienced enough to have over 11k achievement points, and not be aware of Tuesday maintenance. He’s almost certainly trolling.

Absolutely! My friend came back and was flung into BFA, it was funny/sad watching them have no idea what was going on :rofl::pensive:

They also equipped a blank legendary and wore that for months at level 60… the white piece with 0 stats…

That has to be so awful for the newbies.

It’s sad too, because I think the legit intro areas give a very decent feel to the WoW-verse.

BFA is just like… meh? Harbor, dead fish, what is this Stormwind people keep talking about? Ugh that has to be horrible for them.

I was even a fan of BFA and I think starting them in Eastern Kingdoms/Kalmidor will be a far superior experience. To be honest Stormwind was feeling empty lately, I didn’t think about why. New players leveling aren’t there, or even in Eastern Kingdoms :man_shrugging:

“Should we start them out at one of dozens of race starting experiences that gives some backstory to the race and WoW as a whole?” Devs: “Nah, we should throw them into the most convoluted no exposition riddled expansion we’ve ever made first!”…

I think it would be a better choice to start them in Wrath over BFA. Awesome questing (minus the quest items with a 15 second cooldown for no reason …. Hah!)
