ROFL! Ok, I was willing to shrug off "we had no idea this many people
would sign-up" on Nov 23, and cut them some slack while they caught up.

....But not being prepared for *ANY* amount of load for the 2nd launch,
almost 3 months later just shows a lack of... well... it's Not Too
Smart(tm).

Sorry to hear it. Trust that they'll get things up & going soon... If
you shrug off this initial frustration, you'll be in a good frame of
mind to enjoy a wonderful game...

Good grief!
Freezing account creation on the very day the game is released - what a
fiasco!

Not that Blizzard cares much, nor their customers.

It's hardly a fiasco. So you have to wait a day or two longer to play. The
tsunami in the Indian Ocean was a fiasco.

It's good strategy on Blizzard's part, actually...make something people
want, but make it so they can't all get it at the same time and
boom...interest in getting it increases even more.

That's my impression. One of the customer reps on the forums even
said its "impossible" to patch everyone without resorting to
their closed source bit torrent clone. Every MMO out there
figured out how to do that by preloading.

They're just not smart enough to figure these things out.

Hopefully a smart European will sue them and WoW fanbois like
yourself will get a clue. It's only because of fanbois like
yourself that Blizzard gets to release without planning properly.

LOL, so I'm a fanboi. Interesting. Not entirely sure how 'a smart European'
suing Blizzard would, as you so eloquently (*cough cough*) put it, make me
'get a clue'. A clue on what, exactly? That WoW is a game I like to play
occasionally, along with EverQuest? Or a clue that you're pretty much a dumb
ass? I think I already have a clue on the latter one.

No, the tsunami was a tragedy. This qualifies as a fiasco, in
my book.

Or interest in trying it dies out completely. I know that's
my reaction - if they couldn't even make the system work
on the day they released the game, I'm not going to trust
them much after they say everything is fine.

Fair or not, accurate or not, I'd bet lots of people see
it the same way.

As far as this being a major issue I have to say it really isn't. Yes it's
very annoying and maybe even upsetting but it is only the account creation
servers that are down. Why should blizzard pay for a larger capacity server
or bandwidth for a server which is only going to get used very sparingly
after the next 2 weeks. Feel free to call me a fanboy if you like but the
launch of half-life had people stating that Valve was going to go out of
business on the back of poor server status at launch and after the first 3
days it wasn't an issue anymore.

Now after that sensible start I hope I get to log in soon as the DT's are
starting to kick in

Famous last words. Has it occured to you that Blizzard has lied
numerous times now?

During OB: We're very glad we're experiencing lag. This means we
can beter plan for launch.

During Launch: We'll have these issues solved soon, please bear
with us. Here are four days free.

One week after launch: We've disabled guilds on the high
population servers. Please disperse to the low population
servers.

A month after a launch: We're having login server issues. We'll
have this fixed momentarily.

One month and a half after launch: We'll have the login server
issues fixed soon.

Plenty of lies in between. If Blizzard tells the European players
they will have things fixed soon and they have nothing to worry
about then Blizzard is lying. You paid for the game and yet they
disabled activation of the product knowing very well how many
units they shipped.

Blizzard lies.

Are you saying that Blizzard is "going down"?

Care to make a wager?

I'll bet you a dollar and a public apology (this newsgroup will suffice)
that, two years from today, Blizzard is still going strong, and WoW is
many times bigger than it is now.

Offer stands for 30 days.

No. I'm saying its YOUR famous last words. Everytime you act
positively when a company screws you you're just asking for more
screwing over.

I have no doubt they will with 600k units sold in the US already.

I was able to create an account at 15:00 CET with no problems - when

Good job of killing the cross-post. Now he won't see your response and it'll
look like you got the last word in. Is this the only way you can 'win'

I don't know about lying, but they need to take a serious look at the
people who build and maintain the servers. They *knew* there would be a
massive spike when the opened the doors in Europe, and to pull this
again...someone high up in their chain of command needs to be fired, or
demoted.

Well, account creation was down from 3:30pm to nearly midnight, on the same
Friday the game had been released. That's bound to upset people who had to
go long ways or pay extra to get a copy of the game so that they could play
right on the first day.

Actually, I think he was predicting that far more _servers_ would be
going down in the near future. And based on the US/Australia/NZ launch,
you'd be a blithering idiot if you wagered against _that_ proposition.

It's Usenet. You can't stop me from posting or moderate me
insofar as I'm not blatantly destructive. I'm discussing RPGs in
the RPG group. Please read EVERYTHING on usenet EXCEPT my

Get a frickin' CLUE.

If they couldn't handle the load they shouldn't have released the game.
It's THAT SIMPLE.

This is just making Blizzard look like incompetent crack monkeys.

Here's how MMORPG companies should handle launch.

1. Put a soft limit on the number of characters that can be created on each
server. When a server is at the soft limit, you can only create a character
on that server if you receive an invitation from someone already on the
server.

2. The servers should be divided into groups that share the player
namespace. E.g., if you launch with 20 servers, group them as 5 groups of 4
severs. If someone makes a character on one server in a group, that locks
out that name on the other servers in that group. The idea here is that
this makes it easy to balance the server populations by offering character
transfers between the servers in a group. As you bring more servers online,
you add them to the most crowded groups.

3. When things have settled down, you can break up the server groups and
remove the name restrictions.

I think this is an excellent idea, except for the fact that they may have
n servers and a soft-limit of y on each one, but have way more than n times
y people trying to create accounts. In that case, they just fubared the
launch, they should have either had more capacity or limited the number of
boxes on the shelves.
