To swap off Faerlina, Herod etc. If you guys didn’t and are sitting in a 4+ hour queue, that’s YOUR fault. Even prime time last night I was only in queue for 45 mins on Kirtonos.
Blizzard gave you guys PLENTY of warning MONTHS in advance.

They also only gave us two PVP servers to do name reservation on.
I base this on one PVP server being claimed by non-English speaking people, and the other being claimed by streamers.

To what? There was like 5 server options, dude. Maybe you didn’t notice how they had to add 25 servers AFTER launch…? They were still adding servers yesterday.
Wrong. It’s massively Blizzards fault. They set up 5 possible servers for character name reservations and for people to find guilds / decide where to send their friends to.
Opening 25 servers and saying “Well if you’re too lazy to get 50+ guild members and all your friends to move to a new server THAT’S YOUR FAULT!” is just beyond stupidity.
A lot of servers didn’t have ques at all at night, probably because I don’t know…everyone was asleep? Duh.
They also only gave us 5 servers to plan on playing on MONTHS in advance.

Its nice to think simplistically like that, but its a bit more complicated. A LOT of us are playing with large groups, so by the time classic released many people did transfer to a backup server, and all those are full now as well. The only medium servers are the ones they launched well after release where many people in a group of friends have already established their characters.

The longer the queue you wait in, the cooler you are.
BRO, DO YOU EVEN QUEUE?
You’re not a real Classic Player unless you have a long queue to talk about at the comic book store.

My wife’s son (it’s her boyfriend’s son, not mine) rolled on a new server but he STILL has a queue so who knows what you’re talking about.

I rolled up a fresh character on Azuresong last night. I chose that server as it was Pacific and low population.
Got in instantly with no queue. Plenty of monsters to fight in the human starting zone and few other players, so no competition for spawns. It was quite relaxing actually.
I wasn’t playing during prime time though. I logged in after 11pm server.
I’m a bit worried this server will fill up and overflow like the others.

That’s why the group I’m playing with switched… and guess what? We’re still stuck with a queue that’s nearly as long as the Herod one.

your wifes boyfriends son
right
its possible, i have to imagine theres quite a few solo people out there as well that will probably end up swapping
You could come play Retail for a couple weeks. Give the Classic population a chance to settle down. Then start your Classic experience on a nice empty server. 
Yup. I wasn’t tied to any particular server since none of the people I play Retail with are playing Classic.
I have some old WoW friends playing Classic, but they chose to roll on a PvP realm. Ugh!
Too bad Blizzard didn’t make any RP PVE realms.
< Searik (my clasic character finally showed up)
Yea and the funny part is they keep adding pvp servers and they keep filling up almost instantly lol
This is an interesting documentary about wow. Seems history is repeating itself. They underestimated demand back then too.
Ya, me my buddies rerolled to Benediction when it just launched last night and less then an hour in it was at full. This weekend is going to be nuts.
I mean, there’s Bloodsail Buccaneers.
See but my group of 20+ listened to the warnings and switched to one of the only available servers Skeram (the third they released). Now Skeram has queues of 4k+ already today and half of our group has 10+ hours of gameplay. So how do we convince half our group of friends to give up that time they invested? It feels like despite trying our best to set ourselves up for success in a prepared way, we’re still screwed.
