Anyone else getting a "session expired" message when you log in?

I'm buying WoW, the deeprun Tram is just too cool. I finally found an MMORPG which appeals to my tastes.

I got that yesterday. I end up having to open up all the ports needed on my Netgear switch.

Just decided I can't afford WoW when it comes out.. even at 12.99 a month for a six month deal (not counting the price to buy the game itself) I just can't rationalize spending hundreds of dollars on a game from which I will not have anything permanent.. Now that I think about it.. At home over breaks I probably spend 30 bucks a month just on movie tickets.. so who knows, maybe it is worth the cost of entertainment ... grr.. inner struggles.

If you can't afford WoW how can you afford the movies?

I guess I just figure that since I'm at school now I don't go to the movies and therefore don't spend that money anymore .. I guess that would mean I have that money EXTRA from what I would normally be spending ... but does that mean I should be spending it? Arrrgh... I dunno.. Maybe if I play the open beta some more I won't be able to say no

I can already tell I'm going to get as little sleep as I did during the DiabloII Stress Test. That was a brutal two weeks... Fun though! :thumbsup:

 

[Vortex22]

Arghhh terrible lag! Every second I spend away from this game is causing me severe emotional and physical stress... is this what a crackhead feels like?

 

[L1FE]

the lag is a serious issue right now...especially when i'm on some elite quests with party members...it's getting pretty ridiculous

ahhhhhh not diablo 2 ahhhhhhhh.. i spent a good year of playing far too much of that blasted game.. i still have one account left with amazing items on it. i don't play anymore though. BUT WHEN THEY COME OUT WITH DIABLO 3 WITH AN INTERFACE SIMILAR TO WoW'S...... MY OH MY OH MY!!!!!!!! THAT I WILL PLAY LIKE A BLOODY BAS**RD!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Vortex22]

They announced that there are over 500,000 people playing :Q
And most of the lag is coming from a bogged down item server. You might notice that you get the most lag when looting or crafting stuff.
There are about 40 servers, so thats 12500 characters per server. Most mmorpgs have no more than 3000-4000 per server. That's insane.

 

[imported_obsidian]

I doubt that those 500,000 people are playing at the same time. That probably just the number of accounts.

But really guys, this is a stress test. You are stressing the servers and thus you will lag. In fact, that's part of your job. A lot of people complained about the same thing with EQ2 beta yet the retail version has been lag free. The lag will most likely not be there when the game goes retail.

 

[electified]

Actually last week was what they called the stress test when they only let in fileplanet people. Now it is open beta and anyone could sign up. But I realize they are still testing the servers and stuff.

The lag has been getting better, especially if you play later after everyone has gone to bed.

Ok, now this is starting to get convincing. Another person (in Germany?):

This game is sooooo good that I'm going to cancel my 5-at a time Netflix account to pay for Wow retail.
