  • bandloverhater Joshua B (TTV/CaptainPanda86) [UltraArcade Team] (@bandloverhater) reported

    Been streaming for over an hour and twenty minutes of nothing but black character select screens, loading screens, and getting disconnected. I don’t know what I expected, but it wasn’t this mainly! Figured it’d be a problem but not this long!! #Shadowlands #worldofwarcraft

  • chrisdpfeifer Chris (@chrisdpfeifer) reported

    @HodgeWorth18 @Warcraft Good for you man. I am not lol. I gave up. Maybe once u see customer service update that they've fixed the log in issues.

  • HodgeWorth18 Tyler Worthington (@HodgeWorth18) reported

    @chrisdpfeifer @Warcraft Try again soon. The lag seems to be getting better. I took a break for a little while came back and it finally loaded me in

  • RedPillGamerr Matt Roman (@RedPillGamerr) reported

    @Warcraft Fix your servers

  • Wark3D Warwick (@Wark3D) reported

    @rorypeace @Warcraft How were the servers? On launch I'm expecting long login times.

  • TommyBjorkberg TommyB (@TommyBjorkberg) reported

    @FF_XIV_EN @Warcraft Worst launch ever 5h waiting to login to Draenor EU and still not able to

  • LeystTv Leyst (@LeystTv) reported

    @TsulongAddons @Woody101269 @Warcraft Really hope they fix that

  • LogicQ1 LogicQ (@LogicQ1) reported

    @Warcraft This is the kind of **** that pisses me off. You'll think by now, Blizzard will do something about Realm overload. Knowing that the first few days of weeks the more popular realms will be overloaded. You think they will fix it so that we all can play on opening night.

  • recursioncomic Rae Bruner (@recursioncomic) reported

    Me: "I'm gonna put off sketching page 55 to play the new warcraft expansion" *warcraft login is overloaded and broken* Me: ...Okay, I'm gonna sketch page 55 I guess. Page 55 is sketched.

  • evil5826 Thomas C (@evil5826) reported

    @Warcraft Jesus tap dancing christ. You guys can never get it straight. I get that launch dates are crazy but has any one in their right mind even thought about POC on your production servers before launch date? Fix your ****, you get enough money from your subscribers.

  • ThisIsRemiix TehZoi 🦋 this is Remiix (@ThisIsRemiix) reported

    There were so many people in Orgrimmar, I couldn't see the portal, and it was so laggy. But halfway through the Maw, the lag disappeared. Like a miracle, it disappeared. #Shadowlands #Warcraft
