INSANE load times

All excited to play Phrecia, get logged in...

9 minutes to load Lioneye's Watch coming back from the submerged pools.

NINE MINUTES.

Never had this problem in 3.26

A large portion of their server resources are split between 2 games now, the result of which is that load times on league start in both games are going to be somewhere between suspect and non-functional (literally) until they can invest in some infrastructure upgrades.

Not making any excuses for anyone, nor am I condemning; just a fact of a major business expansion.

Until they get some upgrades into play, I would suggest plan on starting the second day in on a league, rather than the first. You will never miss anything really important unless you intend to make a hard push for a 3 hour campaign into early farming to capitalize on early divine and mirror pricing, and even then you won't miss anywhere near as much as most people would have you think.

I for one am quite happy to be farting around with Dawn of War campaigns for now, and I'll get into some more serious grind tommorow...at my own casual pace of course, never done a <5 hour campaign myself nor do I feel inclined to care about that ;)
