I will be making a post everyday to remind the Classic Development team that the VAST majority of the community does not want sharding. Even at the beginning of launch.
I have played on many launches that consist of 4-10k players. It is messy. I do not care.
Enable queues.
Let the servers crash.
We will get through it, promise. I saw a basement server do it.
Keep Sharding out. None.
Keep the devil out.
(All of the information that was released at the Classic Panel and the QnA I am overly satisfied with and I am happy with the progress they have shown us. Thank you Blizzard)
Day Two, Will keep this going.
Do not let these threads die if you care about it.
#NoSharding
There's going to be sharding at first, then they're going to stop using it. If you refuse to play because you really wanted some sort of chaotic, laggy opening with login queues then you'll just end up two weeks behind, or miss out completely. Either way, a lot of people will play and have a lot of fun. If it doesn't include you, that's your choice.

nice 3/8 lfr.
No Sharding.
If you think they will use this only at the begining you are fooling yourself.
What about Ungoro Crater when everyone is there?
What about AQ Gates?
Raid Launches?
Ect ect.
The launch isn't the only time that a high amount of players play.
Sharding will ruin Classic

dont care if its in or not, doesn't effect anything that is worth getting worked up over.
11/04/2018 09:27 PMPosted by Oogathen they're going to stop using it.
If only that were true, they said if sharding is in game it will be a few weeks and that is too long.

It does effect everything.
I am sorry, but you are ignorant if you think not.

They also said the Chromie debuff in the Demo would go away after a while, and it did. I think they're actually going to do what they say they will.
Im happy with sharding for the spawning zone, but as soon as you enter elwyn forrest for example it should not be sharded, any maybe for the first week at maximum.

its effects nothing worthwhile - so I dont have to see youn in game, I consider that a win after this thread - I may have just gone PRO sharding! lol

Wow what an edgy answer. your so cool.
It does effect things though. More rare mobs (it will be used outside the leveling zones) More mining/herb nodes (which will encourage shard hopping by malicious users, which will be successful.) the list honestly goes on.
Ignorance.
Agreed.
I am very upset at the idea of sharding, regardless if it would help the opening day lag.
It's 100% out of principle.
Sharding is something that has upset me the moment I realized it existed.
I want to GO BACK HOME (like Chromie said), and I don't care if it's for 2 weeks. I refuse to play on a server that uses cheap server tactics.
Give me a PURE server.

And? none of that matters - so there are extra resources on the AH, who cares, means I can buy em for less. So there are more rare mobs, so what?
Sorry kiddo, ive been playing Classic servers in other MMO's since before TBC was released, none of what you said has any real relevance to the server.

Those are good points that you clearly dodged.
So hypothetically saying sharding lasts "X" weeks, how greatly does that affect you?
No sharding. Even it lasts X weeks, i won't play classic.
These $$$$ changes have pushed me stick to private servers.

Sharding doesn't matter. And if it's a gamebreaker for you, don't play. There will be plenty of people who will be thrilled and grateful to have the game back.
NO SHARDING

Or you could realize the cohesiveness and the evidence that No Sharding is required for an Authentic Experience; and join the rest of us.
Or you can keep shilling for Blizzard (more like Activision) for their desire to make the experience "better" for new players who can't deal with waiting for respawns, or can't deal with the competition at the beginning.
IE; If you think the reasoning for sharding is server stability, I have a bridge to sell you
