Det finns alltid tölpar som försöker förstöra det roliga för alla andra, och lanseringen av World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor var tyvärr inget undantag. Blizzard har via Battle.net bekräftat att en hacker-attack (DDoS) ägt rum och att de tillfälligt behövt minska maxbefolkningen på servrarna. De skriver bland annat:
Europe was our first region to launch, and we encountered a few issues due to the sheer number of players attempting to enter Draenor from a single location. We worked to add multiple new ways to access Draenor, and this helped ease some of the initial rush into the new expansion as players were able to access it from their capital cities, as well as from the shrines in Pandaria.
While that solution helped a ton for our North American launch, we ran into a few other issues, including a distributed denial of service attack, that resulted in increased latency.
To help correct for this and other issues, we've temporarily lowered maximum realm populations. This means there will be high queue times experienced on high-population realms.
