Played 8 hours straight so it was likely something else. If youāre playing on one of the streamer servers those are no doubt being slammed constantly.
Nope Oceania, where we have 3 servers, and now its coming into our peak time 16.45 here, see how our 3 servers go.
Are we able to get a server transfer to the new OCE PvP realm? it went up after we started playing and me and all my friends were all just dropped from the server and are waiting in massive ques. Feels a bit uhh to cop a server issue DC and then be forced into a 10k que after we woke up early to get in que this morning.
Itās just an overload thing. Blizzard isnāt petty enough to randomly remove people from the game. They never did it in the past and I doubt they care enough to do it now.
Shoot they put in phasing just to get more people in. If they wake up in the morning and itās still an issue Iād expect a few more servers. But they have to be careful not to overreact.
Once the hype dies down and the tourists all bail youāll end up with a ton of servers needing mergers if they overdo it.
Either way, this is the authentic vanilla experience people were dying for with the #nochanges movement. The first day was chaos 15 years ago and itās roughly as chaotic now.
So Iād say the authenticity of it all has been pretty spot on.
same. hopefully we will atleast get some game time comped. waited over 9 hours to login, 20 minutes play time, disconnected to an 8000 spot in line.
It looks like either a few layers crashed or a continent did. Friend was 7000 in que and got in instantly when the disconnects happened. People reconnecting have queues up to 9000. So it seems like 9000ish people got booted from the game.
Is the issue going to be resolved or is there a chance of it happening again? Rather not waste a 3-4 hour queue to get back in for another kick.
Yeah free game time wont happen unless its for days on end.
Good ole hiccups after 7 1/2 hour que timeā¦ At least I got to play for 36 minutes.
This happened to me, its very frustrating after waiting nearly nine hours to play for 20 minutes and get kicked, and now Iām in a 9000+ person queue. I tried to log back in while still in the client but the game told me it couldnāt with my account info which was 100% correct, i wish i was able to just be put back into game
Never fear! the servers are still dying and people are getting kicked by the hundreds. I jumped from 7.5k to 3.5k in 2 minutes haha
@Vrakthris any updates please?
This is absolute bull! I got down to 4000 in queue and then was suddenly kicked from the game and now Iām back up to 10000. How is that even fair?!

I doubt you will ever see free game time for Classic realms being down.
Your monthly fee is for Retail wow. Classic is just an additional benny just like access to all forums is a benny for a retail sub.
Honestly i dont think so either and honestly if u werent expecting long que times on launch day.
Would be cool if we were able to transfer to the new Oceana server. Iād take my toon there for sure. Especially if the queue is lower than 11k.

Why? Classic just started. Make a new character.

As far as Iāve seen there are no server transfers at all, free or otherwise since those werenāt available at the time that Classic recreates. If you want to move servers you will have to re-roll like we did back in the old days.

Technically speaking, Character Transfers were available mid-2006 and patch 1.12, the one Classic is based on, was released in August of that year so they were there. Newish, but there.
The question of character transfers had been covered in the previous AMA here: Q&A Compilation -- WoW Classic Development Team AMA
I had a mind blank the other day when I spoke on it myself, completely forgetting the timeline for events.
Yeah I messed up the timelineā¦ Itās because Iām old and my brain donāt work good anymore.

Thatās unfortunate, mine is because I have too many things to remember all the timeā¦ nothing to do with age or facultyā¦
