They always said it would be there for phase 1, no?

Why the fuck are you surprised? They've literally always said it'll be going for at least a few weeks after launch.
David Butler
Yes they did.
And while Blizzard may be shitty developers now they don't outright lie about things. Unless someone can prove me wrong.

They said it would be something known as "layering" which is essentially sharding, only the entire continent is in its own shard rather than zones being split into multiple different shards like traditional sharding. Also, you're supposed to stay in your layer until you get invited to a group pretty much.
Open beta still had normal sharding where zone borders put you into different shards. You would likely be put into a different shard if you crossed over a zone border with someone you aren't grouped with. And of course, shit like where you can just randomly be taken out of your shard regardless of what you are doing and put into a new one, possibly in the middle of a bunch of mobs.
So I suppose they *haven't* lied about it yet but they have less than a month to implement their new proposed system.

There was no "open beta" so I'm going to assume you don't know what you're talking about.

You were never going home.

Fine, "stress test" or whatever you want to call it. Why would they have a stress test for a system they're supposedly going to change at launch? That webm was recorded 5 days ago btw. twitch.tv
