But this game is different then a real mmo it's heavily instanced how could it crash? didn't they test it in beta?
It's due to everyone trying to login at once -- fried the login server. Same thing happened when WoW launched. It doesn't happen with every MMO, though. Turbine's launch of LOTRO was as smooth as glass. Some developers are better at this than others.
Just to confirm, I'm also getting an unable to authenticate error.
I had logged in and was making my character. Then I got disconnected from server error and sent back to log in; and now I have the unable to authenticate error. It would be nice if the forums were up so we could get some information.
Just when you think it could not get worse the servers crash before anyone gets in to play--cryptic earns the EPIC FAIL of the year award.
Seriously.. what are you talking about? Not only is what you're saying not even true.. even if it was, how is that "epic fail" of the year award?
You sound like an idiot.
Nobody is in playing the server is down the forums are down and in my book that is a pretty piss poor showing. So for my epic fail of the year award it goes to cryptic
Wait,,,,,,,were you not the one that was whining and complaining in the official forums during beta talking about how you are not buying, canceled pre order blah blah blah.......?
I was logged on, then decided to log off to recreate my character, bad idea. I believe their account server went boom. That is why you cant authenticate and why there are still players online playing. And jeez it didnt take long for the annoying whiners to start posting, pathetic.
Yup, got into the tutorial, crashed and now can't authenticate. Like no one saw this coming. I anticipate about 6 hours of emergency maintenance today, and tomorrow and every day of the head start.
I think everyone saw this coming tbh. I'm going to the pub, I doubt it'll be back online tonight
Expresso gave me a Hearthstone beta key.....I'm so happy

Yeah, same thing happened to me, and I agree with you. Who did not see this one coming? I agree with the FAIL Cryptic gets from this.

ever known a laucnh or head start to go 100% smooth?
if you really stressed over this, maybe you should turn off your computer and go outside and get some fresh air
I have to work in an hour, and all of tomorrow, and Sunday. The entire headstart is screwed up for me.
No i happen to like the game and want it to succeed but cryptic is just to damn cheap to own an IP as big as this one.
They had to know by the lifetime sub and box numbers how big this game was going to be and as usual cryptic style penny pinched on the hardware to run the damn thing.

so what do you propose to solve it?
buy more account servers JUST for launch, that will be used probably just this once due to high influx?
wow you really dont seem to understand server infrastructure and demands

I don't disagree with your point. But you seem to not understand the flawed logic that is the basis of QQ. Instant gratification, don't care what as long as I've got mine, so on, so forth. Approaching them calmly will not help.

it seems even if the servers were working fine it would stil be screwed?

How about limiting amount of connections made at once, then after the big rush, remove the limits. That's how a smart company would do it.

Too late for today, I'm considering it tomorrow. :P
WoW, Warhammer, AoC, christ i could go on.....they all had problems at launch, i can't think of any mmorpg except LOTRO which had anything but a rocky beginning.
Expresso gave me a Hearthstone beta key.....I'm so happy
Just trying to live long enough to play a new, released MMORPG, playing New Worlds atm

Ya it did this the whole open beta and they said it would be fixed for live. The fanbois of course will pull a Bagdad Bob and say every thing is working perfect.

Didn't you know? Real testing starts after launch.
oh look
Welcome Badem
Server Status: Undergoing Maintenance
Yes it was tested during Beta, Except beta had 100 this day, 100 that day, etc etc
this has like 40.50k people smashing it for headstart
you cant stress test that.
as an IT admin I know this, I have seen software perform brilliant in beta, soon as it goes live it fails due to demand, it happens

Yowsa, can't have you applying for a job where I work because we load test our software to predict performance of the released product in production.
But many of these game companies don't run like a professional development house so this is typcially what happens.
