One thing that's a painfully obvious cut corner is support. Blizzard to their credit setup a standalone support/gm center in Texas prior to WoWs launch. They recognized that MMOs need robust support to maximize customer retention.

Square cheaping out and not setting up a major US support center is a HUGE blunder. A centet that would have more than paif itself back in retained subs and positive word of mouth. Just very poor planning and being penny wise but pound foolish imo.

Hhmmm, now it gives me the "world is full" message, when I hit Start. Those patches really doing work.

The Start button is greyed out for me. I find it funny when people, like me, mention that NA/EU got the shitty end of SE's server allocation and the people who defend SE say "Oh its just because there are so many more people connecting to the NA/EU datacenter"...bleh?

Given that there are zero problems on the Japanese servers it is clear that they either completely fucked up their server allocation in terms of Japan vs rest of the planet OR they partnered with someone incompetent for the NA/EU server hosting that overpromised and underdelivered.
There are seemingly as many servers for JP as all of NA/EU. Are they really expecting that much more demand from a dinky island than from two large, impressive continents?

So in other news, anything cool coming from legacy players that are seeing the new end game shit for the first time? Or do they have to go through a bunch of back quests to open it?
they have to go through the storyline and im sure the duty finder shit is driving them nuts.

Just make sure to quit out of the client entirely if you get some kind of error message. Simply going back to the main start menu doesn't fix it.

"Unable to update the Group NA/EU Character List"

I'm so bugged I don't even see the worlds/servers. Serves me right for trying to make a transsexual Lalafell on a Japanese server named Miiiiso Hooorrrrny.

I was in, but duty finder was still fucked up.

Logged out and now I'm 1017'd. So what the fuck is the point of limiting number of logins if duty finder wasn't working anyway?
