I'd not count on actually experiening BC content for a week or two. : )
I guess if you camp out in Hellfire Citidal, you might get some stuff done. Can you hit that at 60?
Q u o t e:
Maybe longer. I mean think about it... there is not a multitude of regions for level 60 players. There is ONE new zone for the level 60 character in reality, and EVERYONE will be there.Competing for quests and kills, it's going to be a chaotic mess. It will probably take you hours to complete a simple quest to kill X # of orcs or whatever in that zone.

And based on Blizzards past record the reality is likely to be a pretty bleak time for many of your subscribers :(

I only hope that the CM's are saying what they've been told to say, which is to try and encourage us and put pretty thin spin's on the upcoming storm. But in all honesty, how much can Blizzard prepare for 80% of it's userbase all being in one or two zones at once.
We all know (okay, assume based on it happening to use a dozen times before) that the first couple days and weeks will be rough. But in all seriousiness what can Blizzard do?
Sure they could buy the server capacity for that storm but I'm guessing your looking at 300-400% of the server capacity they have now, and for what? To make the first few weeks a little better? Your computer is still going to have to be able to handle being in close proximity to 200 other players.
As a driver I dislike morning traffic here in SoCal, but as a taxpayer I'd rather they not charge me to build enough lanes so I can do 80mph eastbound on the 91 fwy Friday afternoon.
I think we'd all just like to hear a little more reality from the CM's rather then having them blow sunshine up our....
