Can’t play classic and retail at the same time. Wanted to play retail while waiting for the queue in classic and of course it logs you off in the other game. Yet you allow playing all other games on the same b net account at the same time…

Just need two accounts, at least that is what worked for the stress test anyway.

I would rather stare at the que than play that trash you call BFA

I don’t have a sub on my second wow license. I am not paying for two subs just to be able to play live while waiting for classic

Nothing special. Dual monitors and a midrange video card. I can comfortably have three-four live copies. I don’t multibox though, just trial secondary account.

I’d be more interested to know what computer you have that you COULDN’T run them both at the same time… Granted, my new PC is extremely high end, however my previous PC was a mid range gaming pc, with a midrange video card, and I was able to have numerous instance of wow open with no issues.

I understand if it’s a technical problem, but damn Blizz, throw us a bone. You knew this was coming and multi-hour queues were going to be a thing and that lots of people would want to play BFA while waiting, so we can play any other Blizz game except BFA while waiting… genius…

This is best. Otherwise queue times would be atrocious with tourists. Right now, it should only be the people really wanting to play and not just take a tour. There’s a time for that and it’s after the madness dies down a bit.
