Extended Queues Expected on Select Realms (Updated Aug 20)

As of now, a large number of WoW Classic characters have been created on the following realms. Players with characters on this realm are likely to experience severe queues at release.

  • Faerlina - PvP
  • Herod - PvP
  • Mankrik - Normal
  • Pagle - Normal
  • Thalnos - PvP
  • Whitemane - PvP

Last Updated: August 20

We have updated the algorithm for the realm population tags so they more accurately reflect the expected population for that realm. The realms that are listed as “Full” are where we expect to see extended queues. If you’re concerned about long queue times affecting your play experience, you may want to consider creating characters on a lower population realm before the game releases on August 26 at 3:00 p.m. PDT.

Just my guess, but I really think Blizz has underestimated the demand for Classic. We will see…

CAn you provide information on:
-How many players per layer
-How many layers per server
-how many players allowed on a server in p2 when layers are ended

so we can make informed decisions?

This is the real authentic experience of Classic lol

I sorta expected this also. I doubt they will increase the cap, but I bet that they might make a few extra servers since there might be another hundred-thousand players joining when the game officially launches.

I mean, Faerlina is a eastern PvP realm, with streamers of you are okay with that.

I’m more concerned with a dead sever in 3 months. Thanks for making my decision much easier…

Come join us on Pagle :D! Especially if you’re Horde.

As for Herod, they really should have locked the server from new creations for the time being, to force people to choose the other servers.
