Will the WoW release go smoothly?

[zeal311]

Or will it be like every other MMORPG in the history of time?

[zagggon]

Obviously someone is not a very faithfull Blizzard fan...

[timmay1113]

when has a release of theirs not gone smoothly, yes the game still has bugs but im sure they will have patches out left and right to fix things

[zeal311]

Um...In case you did not know, this is their first mmorpg and if you have never played an mmorpg on release day before they usually end up blowing up the servers and yeah, it's chaos.

[Sovereign]

Yes. And I think first month is free.... (maybe I was dreaming, Hope not), so first month is on them anyway. =D.

[Randuin]

Only if you buy the collector's edition, dimwit.

[Sovereign]

You didn't? Pfft.

[Randuin]

Kekekeke newbed

[Grav]

Actually, first month is free for regular version as well.

[kockblocker1]

The release will have some hicups... somehow someway things will be at least a little bit fucked up, there is really no way around it. The real point being how Blizzard handles the issues and how quickly they can implement fixes. That is what makes or breaks release week.

[Grav]

There will be a problem because of the registration servers, but probably not due to the game servers.

[Randuin]

Serious? Then why do they put that first month free shit in the collector's edition?

[Grav]

Because it's true?

[platnum]

I think that the game launch will go fine. It might be a little slow in the newb arias, but that wont bother me too bad.

[Randuin]

But if everyone get 1 month free, it's not so much special now isn't it?

[Grav]

Welcome to every American MMO.

[Randuin]

Oh shucks, Asians win again :(

[Slim]

Yes, because a free month is a horrible thing.

[Randuin]

Hrm... that gives me time to load up my paypal account with cash! yay!

[Slim]

I'm glad it's that way, since I'm damn near broke at the moment unless I decide to hit up all the people that owe me money which could take weeks knowing those poor bastards.

[Hades-Knight]

Hrm... that gives me time to load up my paypal account with cash! yay!


use some of that for my gfx card or subscription?

LOL! no

[zagggon]

Yeah it's free month for both CE and regular.

[timmay1113]

awesome, there aint much use for CE if everyone gets a free month.....

[Grav]

Don't you want a free diablo pet?!?!

DON'T YOU?!?!?!?!?!/1/1/1AL.1KAJSJU3SJA2NJ3SNS3JNKDKFCOCK

[timmay1113]

will he kill things?

[Grav]

DON'T YOU?!?!?!?!?!/1/1/1AL.1KAJSJU3SJA2NJ3SNS3JNKDKFCOCK

[Slim]

Of course he will!



Uh, wait...I mean no.

[timmay1113]

he could at least do his fire and lightning thing at monsters for decoration.....

[Slim]

No, he just follows you around like a little stalking faggot.

[Randuin]

I would totally want a zergling for that.

[zeal311]

I hate being right all the time....

[Randuin]

How are you right this time?

[Slim]

Release day was fucked up. Go Blizzard and your underestimation of your player base!

[timmay1113]

how bad is it?

[Slim]

Horrible I'm hearing, 1000 plus queues on quite a few servers, 20 minute waits on the guild server according to Randuin.

They still haven't fixed the lag from open beta...I'm not even sure what the point of open beta was since everything is still the same.

[MightyJoe]

Hahaha 20 for the server I wish, its up over an hour.

[Slim]

*sigh* From what I've gathered one of the major problems was a leak of a PARTIAL server list, meaning several people crowding on those servers.

[MightyJoe]

And Zelaron happened to joined the one that was crowed. :(

[timmay1113]

yes go us!! But it makes all too much sense that we would be. Its all because of my bad luck

[Grav]

One my ass. All Central and East servers suck right now.

[Slim]

One my ass. All Central and East servers suck right now.
He's right, read the WoW general forums, there's a 25+ page of people bitching about the queues, that's not from just our server.

[timmay1113]

so i guess we can all stop bitchin about this server then

[Slim]

Yeah, but we can bitch about all the servers in general. They cut off open beta at 500,000. They should have anticipated more people. They overestimated the carebear population too, more PvE than PvP servers.

[zeal311]

Feel blessed you can even get into the client. Im getting either restarts or blue screens or windows errors everytime I try to run the client. Thank you for the cool $50 box and paperweight Blizzard!!!!

[Slim]

There's the kicker...I can't! I had a copy set back this morning but someone took it off the counter. I'm getting it tomorrow at 8 when more people will have the game, and my guess is nothing will be changed by then.

All I can do is read the forums, and look forward to an 1h+ wait.

[Randuin]

The manual is awesome. It's so thick and useless!
