I was sitting in Ironforge when my internet went out and I was disconnected. Rebooted my router and logged back in to a 9000+ queue. I was disconnected for a total time of ~7min.
Are you f’ing kidding me right now.
You probably got a new IP address when your router rebooted which basically makes you a new person logging into the server regardless of your account.
Sucks but it makes sense.
I pay for a static IP from my ISP so pretty sure that’s not the reason but it would make sense if it was.
if you don’t have Friends there i recommend you to roll to another server.
Ah, just like the good ol’ days of IronLag…

And yet all 5 realms that I have characters on do not have a queue. Your problem is you for having to sit in a queue with 9000 or more other people. You were asked to move for days and even over the past week and still persist on whining about not being able to play the game. Move if you really want to play the game then move the character back over to the realm when people finally start to peel off. Either that or keep whining, choice is yours.
Your problem is a fundamental lack of understanding basic English so there is no surprise you weren’t able to discern the relevant details from my post.
Your lack of empathy and just reiterating tired BS is not helpful in anyway whatsoever. You must be miserable at parties although I doubt someone like you gets invited to anything.

No, I understand well what you problem is, YOU! Empathy is for people who choose not to be ignorant in the first place when they were asked to move. The fact you choose to sit in a large queue is on you, not Blizzard. So get over yourself and move and play the game.
No, your choice to not move to another realms with a very low queue or no queue in your problem.
Even sitting around, sending no commands involves some small communications, keep-alive packets at the very least. When the server stops getting even those, I’d expect you were kicked within 30 seconds.
What i mean is my IP address would not have changed when I rebooted my router as I have a static IP address from my ISP.
I was in IF by the flight master, game locked up and I couldn’t reconnect. Rebooted router then was able to login but placed at the back of the queue. ~7min total from disconnect to reconnect. I’m not sure what the threshold is for saving your place but that seems like it should be a reasonable amount of time.
It’s 5 minutes for bypass. So you took 2 minutes too long to reconnect. Get Verizon Gigabit Fiber. I haven’t had a single disconnect on it…ever…
Fiber would be nice but not available in the area unfortunately. I think i need a new modem or router although this is the first DC i’ve had since launch yesterday
Minutes? They have a queue of 8000 people waiting. 20 seconds is the height of generosity: an actual dead line is likely cut off at 3 or less*. It doesn’t matter if your IP changed. it doesn’t matter if you thought it was quick. Your pace was was measured to a computer what a glacier measures to a human. They ain’t got no time fo dat.
*Allowing dead connections to persist has been the source of DOS attacks before, see the SlowLoris attack. Even then, the maximum time a computer allows is 5 minutes. Your approximation of 7 would have closed any active connection ever programmed.
Blizzard has always operated on a 5 minute account based timeout. So more than 5 minutes, and it’ll time you out from direct reconnect. You are then placed in any queue. Swiftly actually tested it after getting through the queue. It seems the same rules apply as always. At 5 minutes and 1 second, you time out.
Just watched a clip of him testing it while trying to confirm the limit. At least we’re getting more capacity via hotfixes.
