It has! The first day the signup servers went down from early afternoon to late evening and they have been on and off since then. We're getting random server crashes in game (last night Arathor was like a yo-yo!), and servers are reaching their individual maximum limit very quickly and queues are forming (mainly PvP servers though).
All in all, you can't fault Blizzard for what is an absolute cracker of a game in every way. But, you can fault them on their lack of ability to see they would have these problems.
If cars had followed the same developmental path as computers, a Rolls Royce would cost £60, get a million miles per gallon and explode once a year, killing everyone inside.
