Most players with names on Herod reserved the names prior to blizzard changing what the population labels indicated. They literally changed their “algorithm” after the fact. So please stop blaming the players for rolling there.
How many times must it be pointed out that there is literally no incentive to do so, when everyone will have 47 more character slots to utilize on release day?
Came in here expecting “I don’t know how much you know about MMOs, but I’m an expert”
Leaving disappointed.

And so a month down the road- you’re going to leave your guild, leave your level 40 or so character you’ve spent all that time on- because your server is locked and a friend has decided to start playing?
Locking servers is a terrible idea.
You know what your choice is if you don’t want to wait in queue? Join another server- but it’s a choice. If you’d rather stay on that server, that’s also a choice.
Locking takes away any choice at all, and turns away all potential future players.

I even said then…
Call me a prophet lol…
My literal words xD
But it wasn’t prophet work… It was easily seen
That was beautiful
I will kindly ask you to be a smart person when reading my words. Who said a month down the road? Do it today.
If your friend joins a month down the road, they can join you or not. I’ve had it happen many times over the last 15 years.
I also never advocated for locking servers. I don’t agree with locking servers. I still think continuing to pile onto Herod is a stupid idea.
I thought it was a very strange thing that the servers were listed as full and full guilds are still registering, full usually = Locked. We will all pay in the end as the expected que on Herod and Whitemane is going to be over 5 hours everyday.
No! No! Load Herod up to the gill! Keep joining! Herod is the server where all the cool kids hang out, you can’t go wrong with all that coolness! With that much static coolness around some of it is bound to rub off on you!
Just stay off the server I’ll be on, I’d rather not have a 10,000 queue on the first day at launch.
Wonderin’ make me feel, like I feel, when I’m with you <3
Haha I was wondering if anyone would catch on, very welcome!

So what is vague about that? actual numbers?
They said low in todays standards is a full realm in 2006. Full. Full in 2006 was I believe 3k per server. After that, queue’s started. They also say anything above medium today should expect queue’s at launch, with the queue’s getting worse the higher it gets.
That is not vague. It is just without numbers.
The server I was on in vanilla, never had a queue and I thought it was a perfect size. There were still people around all the time, it just wasn’t so bad that you couldn’t find an herb or ore node. I tried a ‘high’ pop server back then too. Got to about level 30 and spent so much time trying to level herbs just to be able to pick them where I was questing, that I said screw that and moved to another server with a low population. It’s going to be way worse this go around with these servers than it was back then.
I think they have still been seriously underestimating the draw this is going to have for people.
They say to move off full servers, but there is no where TO move. I’m not going to a RP server as I do not RP.
This is absolutely despicable. I hope the entire damn guild gets banned.

Are they talking about server caps? No, I don’t think so. I think they’re talking about the number of characters or accounts with characters created on the server.
We have no idea how many that is.
I say 40 man the starting zones!
Lol yea, make people get angry and just go back to pirate servers and then just keep opening up random servers like classic.
What could go wrong?
It’s not like they ever had to consolidate servers or anything, oh wait.
THIS. It’s a classic morton’s fork, where you just pick your method of pain. In this case, having too few servers is safer.
