All things considered, yesterday saw a fairly smooth global rollout for World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth.
But while many realms were up and players enjoying the seventh expansion for the MMO, some servers saw chronic issues that kept them offline for most of the night. As of this morning, seven game realms are down as Blizzard attempts to fix whatever ails them. There were also some smaller issues that players have reported, such as not being able to see the Heart of Azeroth in their inventory, although it is hard to tell how widespread this problem is.
One thing we do know for sure: The race to level 120 is already over. In fact, it was over four hours and 17 minutes after the expansion launch. Method’s Gingi accomplished the task with his Boomkin and a meticulously planned leveling strategy.
It should also be noted that the World of Warcraft companion app has switched over from the old Legion interface to the new Battle for Azeroth template. Now players can use this app to control their missions, among other features.
