Playtbc online?

[Windowlícker]

I think the fact that they supposedly had 18k on launch is absolutely nuts. That's almost 10 times as much as Nost did back when it was released. The fact that the PlayTBC launch would be a complete trainwreck wasn't even a question (although it was an entertaining trainwreck regardless).

Any actual info about them? I mean country origin of the team and server location?

Fucking joke server. Epic fail features, epic fail launch

Nost had around 5-6k on launch.

Lol... I couldn't stand listening to more than 5 minutes of that nonsense. Is this a for real project or what?

Why do people say it was an epic fail? Nost brought a lot of attention to the pserv scene. I saw on Reddit numerous people say they heard about playtbc from Nost forums or people spamming. They never played Nost and heard about it anyways. Now add all the Nost players plus people who didn't play that like TBC. Their stream despite how inbred it was had like 10k viewers. You expect them to be like retail store clerks? Man they don't owe you anything, once the server does launch and work well this will all be forgotten. How many times did Nost flip flop on things? Or not have smooth releases? (Remember AV? That was one battleground not an entire server being overloaded. Think use your brain, go play mount and blade blow some steam.

People are mostly mad about how extremely unprofessional they acted. Kicking gms live on the stream, streaming internal message on that chat shit, sharing their direct ip-adress etc.

Not even mentioning the fact that they do everything in hindsight:
"Oh crap our website is getting overloaded" two days later they go "Hey, let's install Cloudflare"
"Crap, we are expecting more than 5000 players" - "Let's delay the release and install hardware over the weekend"
"Oh snap, the authserver is getting overloaded" - Still haven't heard anything on that one, I guess they don't know about DNS loadbalancing.

If you even try to work logically while releasing you would've installed more hardware before than you think that you need. You would also install Cloudflare to keep your website up before it goes down and you would also have around at least 1 authserver per realm to ensure a somewhat working release.

playTBC is a scam server full of lies. I knew it wont open. 100% fail.

Sadly this is true, most of us called it from the start though, but blind people rushed to the server. How many people already sent money to them is the real question?

I doubt any substainal amount of money was made, perhaps a few dollars at most. They didn't open donations and the only time I saw an option was in the subscribe section of the twitch stream, which was for 5 Euros or so.
