Likely a lot of people doing the same thing. As well as installing the game. More than likely the reason for the delay if I had to GUESS.[quote=“Fntrooper-stormrage, post:1864, topic:178282, full:true”]
LOL at all those that thought that they would get quality time in during a stress test! y’all dont seem to understand what it is they are testing.

I think the issue is lack of communication. We would just like to know when we can try to log in again
I was never able to login. I was always showing the one server but offline. I also have yet to receive my actual beta invite D: Please expand the amount of beta testers so we can give feedback!
It is almost 11 pm eastern Standard time. I have to get up at 5:30 in the morning. Most of the people here have to go to work or school tomorrow Since this isn’t even a weekend night. So only a few of us will only get an hour or so play tomorrow at most. NOT COOL!!! The servers are still down!!!
Yeah, logged in around 9:45 est and only got to character creation screen. After that the application kept disconnecting and now the server is down fully. Would be awesome to know when the server will be back up!
I actually finally got to create a character and i walked to orgrimar and tried to help kill gamon but he 2 hit me lol it was fun while it lasted. It sucks that there seems to be a lot of people that never got to log in at all.
I got it after the time expired. Like 30 mins after. Then the servers restarted about 20 mins later. They haven’t come back up, but the GM shutdown message made it seem like they’d be coming back up. I assume they are patching and doing restarts or something…
TY Blizz for allowing to help testing to provide a better product.
They got the streamers and their friends for beta testing along with their toxic mouths. They have no need for mature working individuals. if you stream and spit toxic things from your mouth you are a shoe in for beta access.
I think some explaining might be in order @BluePosters …

What’s the Fake Connect business about? I was never able to progress further than character creation attempts. The entire time I’d see bi-directional traffic in WireShark that was identified as WoW traffic - both in IPv4 and IPv6.
I STILL can’t get in to this off line server that is staying up till tomorrow
I would like to know why as well!

Lets be honest for a minute. Streamers adopt personalities that create viewers, whether fans or haters, and those viewers help build hype for whatever is being streamed. It makes 100% marketing sense to get a large group of streamers into the beta, since its a large market to tap. You may not be happy about it, but Blizzard is doing everything they can to ensure this release is a financial success, which in turn helps them bring us continued content.
Servers up now for me.
Relax everyone, I’m in the same boat. I was never even able to make a character let alone log online even for a few minutes. This is a stress test. As sad as it is to not be able to play something we are all dying for. The point of a stress test is to hit the server with as many login attempts and active players per location as possible so that when the game actually launches, it’s hopefully fixed. Do you want to spend four hours trying and failing to make a character right now or four hours trying and failing to make a character when it’s launch night?
Relax. The study period is over, we’ve surely given Blizzard a ton of useful data. With any luck we will be able to play some more, and maybe some us can get an actual beta key. Time will tell!
I just got back in…somehow
Yeah spent 2+ hours cycling through login queues and “retrieving server list” only made it to character creation once and it never let me actually create a character. Small victory of seeing the old models and old look of the login screen.
Hopefully they got whatever they wanted from the stress test, specifically it seems like they found whatever numbers threshold they were trying to get to.
Finally in after 4 hours…
Blizzard got the data they needed for this testing period. priority will not be keeping servers live. If you cannot currently access the server give it a rest. It costs money to run these servers and there isn’t any inherent value in maintaining them or on-lining additional servers for all participants to level 1-5 after the testing period is already complete.
Keep your eyes and ears open for future stress tests if you want to best possible launch conditions in 3 months. Don’t set yourself up for a fall and set an expectation to be allotted a server to level to 5 in the next 18 hours. The test was successful and hugely beneficial to us all moving forward as WOW classic is developed.
If 1-5 is your dream, try once an hour, no sense in battering the servers at this point.
servers up but seems still blocked from char creation
It does seem that most streamers got access to the Beta instead of players with subs that go back to 2006 (like me…yes, sour grapes). Streamers won’t be giving any kind of feedback…and the feedback I’ve seen is based on private server knowledge…which is worthless to the retail game. Ah well.
