Which is fine, but you have to understand, Classic is working as intended right now because the systems that would have been in place to help keep this from being a log jam don’t exist by popular demand.
Oh sure, people didn’t think that this was going to be part of the cost of vanilla getting relaunched but well…
Give it some time. This will get better

Dang it, i deleted what i wrote. Here it is. The problem is that the severs were ready to go on launch. They launched with all full severs instead of being proactive and relese the severs they relased after launch. They knew there were going to be queues but waited on releseing the severs. Had they just released some before launch it would have helped. They didnt even head there own warning. Please dont make excueses for them. They droped the ball.
Not if you don’t open the windows! 
Who wants open windows when you can smell that wonderful paint smell wafting through the air.

Depends on how much money Blizz is actually making off of classic; Theres no microtransactions for it, no one spent money for it like they would a typical DLC and the subscription fee that we pay is already being used for retail.
Essentially, an argument could be made that this is essentially free content like the various minigames that are in retail.
Really, the only way to determine how profitable this actually is would be by examining user log in information to determine how much time people are spending on each iteration of WoW and whether or not they signed up before or after the launch of vanilla.
I don’t see any streamers in queue…
Conspiracy!
No dude.
Heck, you’re all so entitled. It’s already annoying as shoot to read hundreds of forum posts whining about this stuff. Get over yourself.
You know what you need? Some time away from the computer. Put yourself in line and when you get home from a trip to the movies or something, you should be fine.
Or just find a new server to play on.

Blizzard has software that tracks accounts, what was installed and so on. They know how many people signed up for classic off the break. I’ve worked in the industry, I’ve seen the custom software used for this type of stuff. Before micro transactions WoW was cash cow without it.

Sure, and back then Blizzard was the indisputed king of the MMORPG market and had only two metrics to keep track of:
Sales of base content and expansions.
Subscriptions.
What we have here is actually really different since it’s bringing back the original game at launch state as a side service so determining how profitable the effort would be both short (potential new subscriptions) and long term (people willing to stick around long term) is actually much more difficult and thus it’s harder to determine how much resources should be allocated to the task.
Simply put, Blizz needs more time to figure this out.
Entitled because i would like an apology blizzard lack of action when they wanted us to act. You cant ask people to move if you dont offer an option. Its not entitled you puke. Its only right. They knew the hype kept the sevevers small then tell us to move off a realm to avoid queues, but to move where? All realms full prior to launch. Im sorry but a mulibillion dollar company should get something right.

Yeah, it’s just childish entitlement.
You can also move servers just by creating a new character on a lower population server.
It was done right.
Not even close
This is Blizzard we’re talking about here. A company with unlimited resources to get the job done and don’t correctly. If this were a small shop I could give them the pass, easily. Blizzard has a Noc, they have network engineers, some of the finest around. They had the data months before launch, it takes nothing to delay your game to keep returning customers happy. Also, this isn’t the blizzard of old, this is the blizzard of new… where they have share holders and so on… keeping them happy is first priority over customers nowadays. So, when I see something like this I’m more than surprised.
