I was clearning out my pic folder when I found this blast from the past. I remember the day when OW launched and i checked twitch. Found everyone stuck on the loading screen patiently waiting for the game to let them in. I thought you guys would enjoy it
External link →Awesome screenshot, that brings back so many memories.
Just before we went live our QA team noticed a data issue. Jesse, our lead server engineer, knew he could fix the issue in about 10 minutes. We delayed the launch to let him run off and do that work quickly, but during that time there was a massive amount of people trying to login. Everyone repeating that login flow is very demanding on the Battle.net infrastructure. Just as Jesse was finishing up his work, engineers from that team were on the conference bridge asking us to go live as soon as we could. I'll never forget the tone in their voice, the sense of urgency was very pronounced!
Cheers
