He kind of has a point. WoD started at what? 6m? And jumped to 10m right away.Originally Posted by Maudib

No queues at 12:15 a.m. on Zul'jin last night either. Everything smooth and fine. Zul'Jin is marked as "Full" so well done Blizzard.

I think this one might actually retain some of it's subscribers. I am getting the same "vibe" with this expansion that I got with TBC and WoTLK. Originally Posted by Fool

I really hope it's not due to far fewer people playing

I was very skeptical prior to launch based on history, but I got rolling right on time (a few minutes early even) and had no issues at all the whole 4.5 hours I played before passing out. My wife had some minor bugs with her Destro artifact quest, but relogging fixed them and it was only a minor inconvenience.
Gotta give props where it's due. Blizzard got it right this time.

Seriously, people. You are delusional if you think Blizzard "just got it right" this time. I'm not denying that they improved their tech and hardware, it's obvious. But there are also way way way way less people playing this game than previously. The launch of this expansion was a non-event for people outside of the WoW fanboys circlejerk. I didn't even realize it launched today even though I've visiting this website every now and then out of boredom.

I had no issues whatsoever. It's been so smooth and the leveling on my druid has been incredible. Can't wait to get off of work.

Two things to the "its because no one is playing" crowd...first if that's your stance ok but source for your data how many are playing ?
Second why do you spew negativity just for the sake of it...you are really that bored?

10+ years later, they probably got new ideas on how to improve the network congestion.
Stuff like heavy scenario/instancing, allowing people to spread out on the expansion to do their own zone choice, and well, just not as many people playing. Add all of that on top of whatever backend work they did, it all helps.

Congratulations Blizz!
After 12 years, you finally did what most companies accomplish in 4 years.

There is no data at all for numbers of players. It is unknown.

It's easy to have a smooth launch when the previous expansion ran off the majority of your player base.

They had to get back down to the number of players they had 12 years ago. Originally Posted by unbound
