vanilla launch was worse so i’m not to fussed plus i can play other games now
On one level that’s true, not having real oceanic servers was agony, but on the other. Blizzard really, really should have been able to prevent this

But why have oceanic servers for the side-game and not the main game?
New server is awesome and playable peeps, join us.

I feel like all the cool pvpers in ARugal and dont wanna go to Yolanda.
866min not bad 
DCd at level 9, 10.5k que, going to end it all thanks blizz
I had good run. was logged in at 7:30 , checked the main US servers queues after that and was back at the Arugal character selection screen by 7:45. played all day and got booted in the disconnect wave about half an hour ago. tried to reconnect immediately and got a 8k+ queue.
Watching my position actually increase with whatever has happened the last hour. 617, 618, 619, 620. All the last 30 mins showing as <1 Minute as well…
Was in this morning from 8am, got DCd at level 11. Queued since then.
Any other service you pay for you expect to be able to use. Would expect a day or two extra from Blizzard hopefully.

Lol yes… this is exactly right… so many people were waiting on more servers. My friends were basically fragmented into some horde and some alliance so we now will have regular cross faction comms… We expected to have at least 2 PvP servers so we could play shammy AND pally…
Unfortunately what we got was the worst possible outcome… One oceanic server with people invested on both sides with social groups that are invested… We can NOT move to the other PvP server as names are taken, people are invested etc…
The only way to fix this is create server with a clone of what is was created on Arugal and hope that some people choose to play over there on the toons they made here and invest their time into the toon there rather than here.
I got some cool name on this one so I for one am not moving unless they gave those names to me on another server… I am sure a few of us are in the same boat.
From 1 PvP server to 3 in a day, oof

This is so rubbish of Blizzard, it would have been nice to at least have had 2 PVP oceanic realms prior to launch in-case someone wanted to play oceanic PVP on both factions.
It was pretty predictable that this was going to happen, everyone rolled Arugal because we had no other choice, and now we have one single realm which is absolutely full to the brim that we can’t even get into if we log off and that we have all now too much progress into a character to move of this realm.
Launching a second realm is great, but launching it after the bloody launch is just pathetic.

I was one of the people that was in favour of playing it conservative with opening new OCE servers too early.
I was wrong. OP nailed it.

Made it to 12. Bed time now though. Long queue in the morning inc.
This is hilarious to look back at, The guy who started the thread was 100% correct in saying that launch would be a disaster due to only having one PVP server for oceanic. But your typical forum geniuses said “No, one server is fine, we dont care about queues” but are the same people complaining about them now. Blizzard should have had atleast one other server open at launch and could offer transfers latter if realms are suffering from low population.
