Grabbed some beer, told the wife to let me be for 2 hours. Spent 2 hours trying to log in. Never made it past the character creation.
I was nostalgic about this evening’s test because, luckily, I got into the 2004 stress test. Hate to see it wasted like this. Especially with no comments from any blues about the current state of the situation.
Watched a streamer get angry for two hours at the login screen. truly a classic experiance
So, yah the stress test was umm… very stressful… trying to get past the loading realm list screen that is…
On the bright side however, I did get much better at quickly typing in random 8 digit numbers…
Well, I can’t get past the character creation screen. This is worryingly more nostalgic than it should be lol.
I’d be happy if I even made it that far…
Age of account. So having an account active blizzard account since November 2004 isn’t old? Hmmm
That’s dedication to play the game for 15 years without a break.
I got level 5 and server went down
Edit: just got back in
screenshot or it didnt happen
I’m stuck in the character creation screen and I hate you very much, lol.
LMAO! Exactly!!!
Lol I was playing with most of the current players were toddlers
I think they still are…
After 2 hours 27 mins i have managed to see the char creation screen… Great… You really perfected that Vanilla feel…
I never got in. Made it as far as the character log in then typed my toon name in and got DC’d all the other of the 20-30 attempts ended in failure. I even deleted all of my addons, didn’t help.
Made it to character creation and stuck there timing out.
Same… After 15 years of practice you would think Blizz would learn how to properly launch even a test server…
Yeah kinda a letdown. I realize this was a small stress test but really, with so many people not even able to make a character it seems like a wasted PR opportunity.
Interesting that their web site was having trouble at the same time as they were “Stress” Testing. I vote they FIX the lags and disconnects and the buggy issues before they open up ANOTHER realm or set of realms.
i was looking forward to loggin in and showing my support for this but i got to the character creation screen, and i couldnt get any further
server was full the second time i tried to relog in,
third time it was offline lol
