Hi everyone,
Today has been a very hectic day as usual thanks to 3.0.2's release, but we've weathered the storm thus far. You may have noticed some slowness with the website and your downloads, so we wanted to update you and give you some data we're currently seeing.
We've recently doubled our bandwidth, as that was the primary issue at hand -- we capped our bandwidth allotment for per-second usage. We're currently seeing a 5-6x increase in bandwidth usage due to the patch, and this is just the beginning. To that end, we're looking to further increase our bandwidth if possible. On normal days we usually see bandwidth usage of around 200MBits per second, but today we're at over 1300Mbits per second, and it's still increasing.
We're working hard to ensure that our network architecture can handle the increased traffic that tomorrow will bring with EU players being updated with 3.0.2, and we'll continue to keep you updated on the website's situation as the week goes on.
In the meantime we'd like to remind everyone that you can find all of your latest 3.0.2/Wrath of the Lich King compatible Addons by visiting our new 3.0.2-compatible Addons page. You'll also see a "Wrath" icon on each Addon page if it's compatible with the latest patch and Wrath of the Lich King.
