Why in the world is there a queue on a Sunday night?

Go to login to my new megaserver and get put in a queue. Why is there a queue now? And if there’s a queue at 8pm on a Sunday, what’s it gonna be like during primetime on Tuesday?

Edit:

We were told

Pagle & Grobbulus will have their realm caps increased to effectively unlimited.

So what’s up with that?

It’s great, isn’t it?

Um…probably because it’s the weekend when a lot of people are out of work or school?

They stated the megarealms would have their realm caps increased to “effectively unlimited” btw.

i guess “effectively unlimited” cant even handle Sunday peak… wonder how awful tuesday raiding will be.

Pagle & Grobbulus will have their realm caps increased to effectively unlimited. No additional latency or performance issues are expected as a result of this consolidation of players.

“Effectively unlimited” yet there’s a queue at 8PM EDT on a Sunday.

Not sure why you replied to me when your response seems unrelated to what I said. I’m pointing out that if any days of the week are going to have login queues it’s going to be the weekend

I don’t know if you’re new to the game or what, but typically Tuesday night has more players than Sunday night.

Bruh…

If by great you mean it’s unbelievable that they just forced people onto servers to give them queue times, then yes.

No queue for Grobbulus. 290 (10 min) queue for Pagle.

I’ve played WoW for over 16 years and that has never been true

This is absolutely unacceptable after promising to essentially have no cap.

This is ridiculous.

There is absolutely no shot that there are more players on Sunday night than on the raid reset night. Just take the L on this one.

Not sure why people still go after each other rather than the topic.

Haven’t seen a queue on classic in forever, but first week of the mega server and it’s already starting to just look worse than staying at the old server would’ve been.

Not everyone raids on Tuesday and not everyone plays this game to raid

The simple fact is it’s standard practice to work weekdays and spend weekends on leisure activities. Ever heard the phrase “9 to 5”? Even moreso when you factor in people in school

Oh by all means, if the queue is an issue then it’s an issue. I’m just pointing out the silliness of acting stunned that it’s happening on the weekend of all times, like that’s not when the average person is most likely to have free time to play

Took my free transfers to old blanchy when I hit that log in wall.

Waited on service sale on packs to buy a bulk realm move pack.

and alliance now back on atiesh.

THat server wandering cost me money. I am not rushing into that…twice. atiesh will be home a good while lol

Tuesday is the most popular night for raiding. It’s okay if you’re new and don’t know this.

As someone who has played on servers with a queue before, I can tell you that Tuesday > Sunday.

Hence this topic. If there’s a queue tonight, the one on Tuesday will be worse unless Blizzard ups the server caps.

right? I thought the whole push behind the realm changes was to prevent this BS. Why the hell did I bother to move my toons…

Yeaaaah, I’m honestly wishing my guild wouldn’t have completely jumped right to Lei Shen off rip and waited a week, just stay on Atiesh.

Hopefully this nonsense gets fixed quick, feels like a big downgrade to not have seen a queue in the longest time and see this crap within a week of moving.
