Solution is play another game that actually works.
Don’t expect Blizzard to have any form of smooth launch.
With their resources and experience they should be better than this.

I’m currenly downloading @ 16 Bytes per second lol.
careful doing this as then you can get stuck on “waiting on another update” instead

LOL, at least something
hope it doesn’t take too long, I have to get my reps sorted on this char asap.
Problem:
Battlenet = “initializing…” - and just stops…
Request:
I Respectfully request the support team to get this fixed as soon as possible. Thank you.

same here, seems like the update servers might be down
Tried opening wow.exe and manually loging in, doesn’t help. Your servers are gonna be incompatible so don’t waste your time trying it

What worked for me.
- Close battle.net
- Rename World of Warcarft folder to something else
- Start battle.net
- It should say Install instead of Play
- Close battle.net
- Revert the folder name change
- Start battle.net
- Click on locate the game, choose the folder
- Wait for the update
- Play
