Queue is just a way to 'gate' the game. Instead of having 3k player in the starting zone, you only allow 1k (queue the 2k) until they ding and move to the next zone. I already have guildies who are 98-99. Seems terrible if you wanted to be first to 100 and you weren't lucky enough to be...

From a scale of 9 to 10 how fucked up is this launch

Logged in after 4 hour 30 minute wait; get promptly kicked out of the game, 3.5k queue. Major fucking fail.

Jeez, I wonder why. Didn't we have for Cata two 'ways' to start the expansion? Hyjal or underwater? Might've been easier to do something similar here.

I've been in queue since 2pm and it's 4:33. Position now 813, started at 2.6k.

But hey, lets all give them a break, launching an expansion is not easy! especially the first time! and also when you're brand new and have very limited funding!

It's called 'surge'. I work launching software to the public; every time we have a big update we increase capacity temporary with several of our 'hosting' vendors. 300k systems downloading patches and updating and so far it's working great, when the 'surge' is over we release those resources...

So wait a minute; we should just 'suck it up'? 'When have they done a launch properly? LOLZ COME BACK NEXT WEEK'. That's entirely mediocre. 10 years in this game, 5 expansions, you'd think they've already invested in surge instancing and properly setting instances/quests so it's not funneled...

Wait a minute; it didn't 'Suddenly' skyrocket; you fucking provision it for a launch. And yes you can, jeez; do you even work in tech? Take for example Amazon Web Services, you can go from 1 instance to 1000 in three seconds, and only have those up and running for 24 hours. And yes, they are...

Because Blizzard can no longer make rookie mistakes?

Two things that would've made this launch much easier: 1) Make the fucking quest givers WALK AROUND. 400 people with Mammoth mounts can't stay on top blocking it. 2) 'Dezone' people. There's already the technology for cross realm, why not instead of having 400 people in one zone you split...

You'd think by now they would make smooth launches. I'm in SoCal, like 20 minutes away from Blizzard and possibly their DCs with a 350mbps connection and everything is total shit.

Got booted while connecting to the server after waiting for 6 minutes in queue. Alliance Proudmoore here, we got a guild if you guys are interested, we raid tuesdays and thursdays.

Inque you play on proudmoore too? I'm in queue. 214 apparently

I'm so not excited about this expansion at all. I'm still fucking pissed that it's the same Orc bullshit we've been seeing in MoP. It feels like MoP 2 : Electric Boogalo. Gotta catch Garrosh again...Compare that with the only time we see Illidan (such an awesome hero, 1000x better than...

Icy-veins usually has some good guides:Icy Veins - World of Warcraft News and Guides

Ka (MGM) is the best Cirque show in my opinion. I've seen most of the Cirque's in Vegas (haven't seen the Beatles one though). Zumanity is ok, I'm a gay man so lots of boobies isn't really my thing. Zarkana is all circus acrobatics themed. To me Ka was BEAUTIFUL, an amazing story with acrobatics...

Ok Here's a weird idea I've been thinking of. Given that a lot of people want to learn how to make games/code games or take a path in game development (other than sucking it up and going through a college somehere), I want to start something that helps with practical skills. Say...

Then lets do something about it; I do want to learn more about MMO/Game development; I'm a good Java/Ruby enterprise application developer so I have the developer background just need to ramp up on C++. I want to tinker and play around with a world (in this case EQ) and might need some help with...

I played it today for a while (I'm at blizzcon). It's a fun game definitely; but very very TF2. Maybe this is why Valve and Blizzard came to an agreement with DOTA2 'You guys are taking DOTA? Ok, we'll do our own TF'.

It was something like 5 am, I flew in from LA so was extremely tired to really figure out anything and wanted door-to-door service pretty much. Would've ended up in Yonkers or Albany if I had tried to figure out train/rail/whatever at that time. Last time I was in NYC I flew in JFK and...

Reading this as a necro on a raid 'LIFE BURN NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW' Lifeburning down to 1hp, instantly aggroing mob, dying most of the time; you needed to master the LIFEBURN + FD combo (and pray the boss didn't aoe). I was glad when they introduced the change to LB to avoid this.

Taking a cab from Newark to Manhattan is probably one of the worst experiences with taxis/cabs I've ever had. I had to pay with a card, but the cabbies don't carry a terminal, you have to BEFORE you board the Cab use a machine (the machine in my terminal - United, was broken so the cabbie had to...

what?

What would be the 'ideal' server type setting? I don't want to compete with P99. PvP? Easier exp? more items? hotzones?

What about for a real 'production' like P99 server? I got a nice server and connection with a static IP that I could use for this; I'm also a fairly good programmer so could probably fix some bugs and stuff. Maybe I should start a rerolled kickstarter.

He's a major troll so he loved every minute of it; my brother was telling me that he would stand behind bushes, without moving creeping a lot of people out.

haha He actually was scaring a bunch of kids with the slenderman costume.

This is my 6 year old nephew.

Man Rathe Council; that was some fucked up shit at the beginning. We were serverfirst too. Remember zoning to Plane of Time and getting tells 'omg congrats!' from random people. I think that's something that you don't really see these days, I loved to be in the server #1 guild, doing all...

I actually had some really good empanadas a couple of months ago in a truck there, behind the CVS/Walgreens.

I don't know man, my brother and I went to a shitty pre-school but my mom would make us do extra-curricular activities that weren't even required from school; so, by 4 I was already pretty much reading fluently, by 6 I was speaking english as a second language also fluently (spanish is first...

Honest question here, someone correct me if I'm dead wrong given that I have no kids: Isn't throwing out a bunch of money on preschool... crazy? In either preeschool young kids will play with play-dough, go to music class, draw/paint. It's like paying 300$ for little shoes that they'll wear...

What? My Samsung TV from two years ago, has a little screensaver that kicks in when I'm in SmartHUB and aren't doing anything. Or on the Netflix / Amazon Prime app. Even my Roku has a little screensaver that kicks in. Where are you buying..

Tom Coliccio's Craft in NOHO is amaaaaziiiiing.

Jesus 1k for a HJ???? If you just want to get laid, hire an escort online or something

Loaded up for the first time; mines of gloomingdeep. Click on first NPC that gives you the welcome quest, hit Q because I'm used to WoW and strafing... the guy punches me and kills me. Wow, after 13 years things haven't changed.

Yea, farming AAs in Halls of Honor B Or Crypt of Decay(?) when I could charm everything and get like one AA every 5 minutes or something, falling asleep and waking up dead

Holy shit KEI. I had completely forgotten about that spell. Thankfully I was a necro and didn't really need it; but looking at the KEI beggars in common tunnel or bazaar was a total experience. Reminds me, one day I fell asleep as a Lich... drained my health to death.

Because HE'S CANADIAN. GET HIM!!!
