Get off WOW - my server was empty all month, 2 people on it. Shoo go play another game you fickle people …
Blizzard: announces get-ready-to-prepatch-guide
Players: wait in queue till december '23
u dont haveto be a pro it dude to be able to spot that hardware have been envolving during the years
or that the cost for data has gone down
the mayor $$$ is in delopment
Full server racks with enterprise-grade hardware + Network costs + Salary for network engineer which is high paid profession, with each highly qualified network engineer making 35,106+ a year = servers are cheap btw.
Oof… such BS

i bet they run have been running these servers at a loss for all these years then 
more players = less profit
i wonder how they managed years ago, when servers where way more expensive??
Mate, I’ve been in queue now for 4 hours to log in to battlement. I only wanna play diablo.
Steam manages to have millions logged on simultaneously without any issues. I can’t remember the last time I couldn’t log on to steam. The tech exists and works every single day, 24/7. I only wanna log in to their feecy launcher, guess I’m gonna have to wait till they discover how it’s done properly.

It happens usually when there’s a CoD launch since they now use Battle.net.
Exactly what our Blizz fanboys need to read.

Been in queue (bnet client) for 2 hours. “Go offline” - does not work. Launch wow.exe directly - does not work.
That’s how I logged in all day and it worked every time
Merely pointing out that servers aren’t cheap, not sure where the point was missed.
Oh yeah, because steam totally never has outages many times a week. 
No they dont
I can launch wow.exe and the process is running in the background, but no window ever appears. Windows 8.1
Its about battle.net que, not wow server que. 2 different things. Most people stuck at the battle.net app que.

I work for a server farm for nearly 10 years now but okay, surely i have zero clue. It’s the same concept for the bnet launcher. It can only handle so much. The tech for such capacities does simply not exist. You can literally google the limits of the current generations of server capacities. If you don’t like that then play single player games until the needed tech has been invented.
Every single popular online game that has tons of people at the same time struggles with their servers. It’s not their fault, it’s literally because the tech simply doesn’t exist. When you start the launcher you also connect to a server, in case you haven’t realized. It also has a max capacity, and if ignofed it crashes for everyone, that’ why access is limited, hence the queue times.
And seriously, how desperate are you to play this game if you cry about having to wait an hour or a day? There are other things to life in case you haven’t realized.

I explained it to you before but you deny basic math. Again, a wow server has approx 100k player capacity. If only 10 servers have queue times, means capacity on them have been reached. And whats 10 multiplied by 100.000? It’s a million. If you can’t don’t understabd basic math thats your problem. More than 20 realms experienced queue times, that’s an onstorm of 2 million+ players, so yes i can factually say millions have logged on for prepatch release. Based on and proven by the simplest math.
Tell me then please, how transfering onto a lower pop realm in WoW help people shorter the battle.net app que?

That helps with server queue times, not bnet queue times.
Launchers like steam, epic or bnet can’t just be copied and pasted among several servers and tech for huge capacities does not exist. This is why game launchers often experience outages for popular release dates.
Oh boy, you must be embarrassed just about now.
There there.
