wtf ?
I know it is a beta phase and blizzard certainly wanted to allow as much people to playtest it as possible but why do you give away 3000 accounts if you know only 500 will be able to enter at once and in the server will only work as expected with 300 ? (numbers are totally random)
My main goal when I got this beta key from the wwi was really to test as much as possible and give feedback, the first few days I played i filled a report for each quest done, afiter the first week the server lag started to appear (yes IT IS server lag and not client lag) and with it the disconnection added to the server crash/restart (they are normal in beta phase but added with the connection problem they are really annoying). The result is: I played less and less and it only get worse as time pass and now we cannot even enter the realm:
- since 2 or 3 week it is an epic quest by itself to convince the login server to let me enter the server and when I get in I have something like 3/4s lag (with only 300ms of ping...), it never took so much time to cast an instant spell.
- yesterday and the day before the login servers was taking a really huge time to let me pass through and then I was stuck while loading the character screen
- and today that the login server seems to run fine we have a queue to enter the realm, nice...
I know you certainly do not care at all since I have already understand that the real play testers are the US players and the european one is just to give us a toy to play with but in the end it is more frustrating than anything else.
