Monitoring the WWEN launch

A service being down due to overwhelming support day one is considered a massive failure?

They should've opened up registrations ages ago to take the load off day one though, because apparently the streaming service so far is working flawlessly. When I really think about it, just why didn't they do this?

The statement I made before I said massive failure explains why I said it... they should have been prepared.. basically the same thing you just said but in less detail.

So you couldn't sign up before today? Is that right? Cuz I'm kicking myself in the ass if thats not true lol

You couldn't, which probably wasn't the smartest idea.

Success, got to the page where I can click PayPal, then it dies.

Yeah the page sort of half loads for me from time to time.

All in all, I'm not completely sure how much they could've been prepared in the end. This isn't a rare occurrence, just look at SimCity or Diablo 3 for example. Plus, the service is outsourced so it isn't exactly their fault in the end anyway.

you said the actual streaming is fine, right? So the only issue is signing up... they should have had signups open as soon as they announced the launch date.

Ok, so I enter all info.. choose Paypal and then............................nothing!

Yeah, but I'm genuinely wondering now how many people -have- successfully signed up to consider that a fair benchmark.

If millions signed up over the last two weeks and they all signed in at the same time to watch the Network today, just how much better would it be? We'll be able to fairly evaluate it in the next week (and at Wrestlemania, the true test), when everyones signed up and streaming.

For the prefix suggestion, if there is enough discussion about it then I'm down. For now it's not really needed.

I imagine once it's available to watch, and people are organising LD's for the shows there'll be an influx of network threads.
