I don't claim to know a lot about the technology that makes WOW possible. I was waiting for over an hour last night and couldn't get into the game. What kills me is that I am on a server that Blizz assigned to me. You would think that if they assigned you the server, then as a new subscriber, that server would be able to accomodate the volume for a reasonable period of time. Not so. I imagaine that if Blizzard actually sees this petition, they will spew a lot of technical mumbo-jumbo about how they can't do anything about it. I have a hard time believing that there is nothing that can be done to support your existing customer base. Oh well. Just my 2 cents.
