With the anticipation of countless Chinese players, the official Chinese server of World of Warcraft has finally been launched today. No matter how many people complain about the game, no matter how long it has been shut down, when it is launched, a large number of players will return. Many times they return not for the game itself but for the sentimentality. However, this time the official Chinese server of World of Warcraft is also facing huge problems, and players even have difficulty logging into the game. So what problems did it encounter during this launch?

The first problem is queuing. For World of Warcraft players, especially those who have chosen large servers, they have to queue up almost every time they want to play the game. Take the new server Jaina as an example. On the morning of the weekend when the server was just opened, you have to queue up for more than five hours before you can enter the game. The same is true for the official server this time. Many servers with a large number of players have long queues. Many players open World of Warcraft at the company in the morning and have not entered the game by lunch time.

Queuing is not the scariest thing. After all, it is normal to have queues when the game is popular. But server crashes are not normal, especially when the World of Warcraft WLK nostalgic server was launched. Server crashes have already occurred, and now that the official server has been launched, server crashes have occurred again. This surprised many people, even the farmers and workers. It doesn’t matter that the nostalgic server is not ready, but the official server already knew the high probability of the number of players and did not expand the server in advance. If the server is launched on the weekend, the extent of the server crash can be imagined.

Secondly, this time it was not just the server that crashed, even the official store couldn't withstand the enthusiasm of the players, because the official store was not opened simultaneously when the WLK nostalgic server was launched, so there was no situation where the official store was unavailable. The official directly announced the server maintenance time and temporarily closed the direct upgrade during this period. It can be seen how many players purchased the direct upgrade package this time, but this time the World of Warcraft official did not seize this huge wealth at all.

Many players are speechless about the official World of Warcraft operation. Many people may wonder, will there be a big difference if you use the upgrade package one day later? If you use the upgrade package today, you can skip a lot of content directly, but if you use the upgrade package tomorrow, you will have to play or not. If you don't play, you will waste a day of monthly card time. If you play, all the leveling today will be in vain, because you can directly upgrade tomorrow. Therefore, players are very dissatisfied with the official World of Warcraft behavior this time.

In fact, another core reason for the large-scale server crash this time is the lack of testing. Normally, a game must be tested before it is launched. Don't forget that World of Warcraft WLK nostalgic server was actually tested twice. One was a normal test, and the other was after the soft launch before the server was launched. I don’t know whether there was a small-scale test on the official server, but at least the official server did not undergo large-scale testing, which made many players resentful.

There are even players who directly left a message in the comment area saying that if it really doesn't work, let Jiucheng come. Although the performance of World of Warcraft this time is too bad, if Jiucheng is really allowed to come, maybe the server will not crash? Of course, all this is speculation, but the official is obviously not well prepared for this server opening, otherwise there will not be server crashes and direct upgrade packages cannot be used. Of course, some people say that another 14 days of free will be treated as nothing happened, but farmers and workers think it is a bit difficult to get the official World of Warcraft to issue free time again.

I have written so much in a rant. At present, the servers of the official Chinese version of World of Warcraft are relatively stable and there are no major problems. The only problem is that it takes several hours to use the direct-level gift pack. It feels a bit unfair to level up at this time, but it is a bit boring not to level up. I can only say that it is indeed a bit confusing for the official World of Warcraft to temporarily not allow players to use the direct-level gift pack. I hope to apologize and compensate the players, so as not to disappoint the players who slack off at work and play games.
