Has anyone gotten into a match yet this weekend? I get it, a lot of people went to play the new anniversary servers. But seems strange that ive been queued up for over 2 hours and there still has not been a single AV match yet.

You just answered your own question, they are all on the anniversary servers.

The vast majority of the population on anniversary are still pre-40. We will not see ‘sustained’ or ‘moderate’ queue times for probably another couple weeks.
Again, this is anniversary. Not sure about standard Classic-Era realms.
Fresh anniversary servers, sorry mate.

You won’t ever catch me defending Eyr, but with that said it’s true that anniversary realms are just a temporary phase.
On paper right now, everything being played on anniversary will be ‘progressed’ all the way through the cataclysm and beyond.
Classic-Era is the only place to play where your progress isn’t going to get washed by an expansion drop.

If this goes beyond TBC, it will be a major failure.

How do you know this for sure? I don’t believe you.
Huge, massive… failure if Blizzard do this and go against what we all want.

Because the only information Blizz has released on this so far seems to point this direction. If TBC were getting an era, then they likely would have announced this already because they know it’s been highly requested.
The fact that they haven’t announced an Era means it’s most likely that they’re just planning to repeat how the ‘progression realm’ timeline went the first time around. The fact that the ‘classic’ part of anniversary realms are unrolling in phases means that TBC will come in phases also, ultimately ending in a transition to WOTLK.
At the absolute most charitable interpretation, they haven’t decided yet and are waiting it out for later.
Here is the statement that these assumptions are drawn from:
It’s possible if not probable that Blizz legitimately somehow believe that the playerbase only wants to play temporary seasonal/phases, instead of perma-eras for each xpac.
We can really just look at how they handled the classic timeline the first time around, as a sign of what to expect.
