It’s not always just server problems either. Hell, launch week is often a wreck, even with the resources and general server stability of Blizzard. With so many people logging on to check out the new stuff as soon as possible, launch night is often a technical mess. Other World of Warcraft players who have been around for previous expansion launches chided me. Yesterday afternoon, I took a nap so that I could stay up and experience the Legion launch live for myself. And second, a bird flew down from the sky with a message for each player: a quest that would open the way to the new content.
First, their experience point bars reappeared on screen, begging to be filled again, teasing a new level cap of 110. Players at the pre- Legion level cap of 100 knew the expansion had been flipped on for two reasons. PT - 10 minutes or so earlier than expected - World of Warcraft’s new Legion expansion went live.įor those in-game in those first moments, the process was surprisingly seamless.
