Yep my Server is down too Garona and it's going to stay down it says it's comming down for maint. in one hour and it's been down longer than that /sigh Blizzard really droped the ball on this but it figures launch days normaly suck.
 
I still fail to see how they dropped the ball on this one.
Compared to many other MMORPG first 2 days, this has been pretty smooth.
The game is very polished and they are promising to upgrade the servers, when IN game my lag bar has never gone yellow, and Ive only stutter stepped, or a click delayed a few times.

Did you participate in the Open Beta or Stress Test?

These are the EXACT same problems(lag, res probs) that showed up in the Beta and Stress test. Blizzard said it was caused by debug versions running and that for release it wouldn't be a problem. Blizzard lied about it. They had no fix then and they don't have one a week later.

It isn't a network congestion problem. It happens on low population servers. It really started showing up when they started the penalty for dying.

I just don't like being lied to. It was a known problem and BZ lied. Simple as that. If they had fessed up to the problem and couldn't fix it quickly in the open beta, they knew they would lose revenue at the beginning. I sure wouldn't have purchased the game had I thought there was still a bug like this that they couldn't fix at this point.
 
I'm frickin pissed off. Same crap that was in the beta, and they continue to LIE in the forums!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FO Blizzard for your pos game. I don't remember anywhere on the box where it says you can't play if you buy the game.


The following realm servers will be brought down for maintenance at 7pm PST:

Alleria
Archimonde

Blackhand

Following the maintenance downtime, the following servers will be kept offline for further maintenance:
Archimonde, Dalaran, Khadgar, Mal?Ganis

We do not currently have an ETA on when these four servers will be brought back online. Please bear with us as we work to alleviate the issues, and thank you for your patience!


Expected downtime 1-2 hours!!! Yeah right. You guys have no clue. Couldn't figure it out during the stress test, and you can't figure it out now.
 
Yea, I'm with you guys at this point.. during the OB I had no problems with the lag.. even yesterday when it got a tid bit laggy here and there I didn't mind, first day jitters and all.. but today has just been sad. The servers have either been down, or totally laggy the entire day. I purposely bought WoW early because I have this week off school and I wanted to get some gaming in.. oh well. Secondly, its this BS from the staff that's really getting to me.. Servers come down for maintenance? And it's basically ALL of them.. come on.. you KNEW this was coming, the stress test, the open beta, all the same problems.. They really should have just bitten the bullet and delayed retail to fix this stuff, I'm really not happy with Blizzard. They've always been a fantastic company and this lying is just out of hand.
 
My server just went down, but gave a few people some laughs as the server time counted down.

Server - shutdown in 2:30

Actually it's people like me that get screwed when we get home from work. That's when they decide to do the maintenence on the servers. Their front page news says they had 200,000 on the first day. This is 300,000 less than the beta and they still can't handle it.

Wouldn't be a big deal if you could switch servers with your character, but you CAN"T!!

A lot of the people on the forums say this is expected. I say BS. THEY mailed the boxes out. If you can't handle the number of boxes sold, they should be sending em out.
 
This should help: "We launched with 41 servers in the U.S. yesterday, and we are bringing up an additional 34 servers today to accommodate the influx of players. "

Also this might be a reason it has been a bit buggy for the first 2 days: "Over 200,000 accounts were created in just a single day!"

You have to remember, they had 2 weeks to reach that number and didn't get that many in one day.

I think that matters just a bit. 😀

I dunno, I'd like to see how many they got on the first day of the open beta sign ups.

Actually they got that in 2 days, not 2 weeks.
Quote from their page

This past Monday we launched the World of Warcraft open beta test, and by the following day, we had already reached a total of more than 500,000 signups!

This doesn't include everyone that was already in the closed beta that continued on to the open beta.
