They lifted lock on accounts now.

Shouldn't have been locked in the first place, but thanks for the heads up. :]

This is a joke. Any company with even basic IT competence can have sufficient capacity ready for a flood of users if they know exactly how many users it will be and when it will occur.

It's not like they didn't know exactly how many copies have been sold and how many of them have subscribed so far.

Not necessary, they may know the size of the user base but there may be many factors in play which may cause an influx at one giving point. Plus, why buy servers that will always have 40-50% capacity space which is not used, when you can let it reach the capacity and then increase to your requirements (thus saving money). There will be a lot of variables at play which make it difficult to forecast.

That is outdated thinking. We no longer have to actually buy servers when we want temporary additional resources - there is a reason cloud computing is so popular.

Its not outdated as cloud technology still uses the same principles (data centres, storage, networking), I work in one of the worlds largest IT companies and this still happens on the contract we work on.

It also depends on whether Zenimax has outsourced the IT to another company or managing it in house.

This is a self manufactured issue. Why on earth wouldn't they use the same info that was input for purchasing the digital editions? Extremely backwards planning. If you can even call it planning.

Common sense.
