Your post shines like a beacon of light in a sea of rotten garbage. Well done, sir.
I think we’re pretty much dreaming if we think we’re going to get in in under 5 hours. People won’t want to log off once they are on. Layering will help with crowding and thus mob respawns and such but if only a certain amount of players are allowed on and they won’t increase the number of layers then it makes little difference to the wait time.
I’m using the priority list method.
Preferred Realm #1 (Full) > Preferred Realm #2 (High) > Preferred Realm #3 (Medium)
I land where I land.
My guess is 4 hours a 25 min.
Edit:
I change my mind, 7 hours and 12 min. Vast majority of people who log in are going to stay on as long as possible… making the queues even longer.
If being 12,354th in a queue means you have to wait until 12,354 players already on the server LOG-OFF the server. Then probably 5 or 6 hours or more.
6 hours, easily.
Every server will be pulverized. Classic is taking over the world.
If you login at 02:59:59, seconds.
If you login at 03:05, minutes.
If you login at 03:15, many many minutes.
If you login between 03:16 and 04:00, hours.
After 04:00, days.
After 06:00, weeks.
After 07:00, forget classic and login to BFA. (kidding)
I want to see his wife and her boyfriend
10+ hours ez
Idk, but I bet it’ll be over 9000
I would say at least 1 minute, but no longer than 1 year.
I died reading this and I’m dying seeing 50% of people not understand what just happened and this is amazing, thank you.
Too funny but I actually know someone who had this situation back in 2006 - 2007…and they both played WoW.
I am unsure whether Blizzard’s claim that people on Herod, Whitemane, and Faerlina might not even be able to join a queue is something that can really happen, or if they are just trying to scare people off these realms.
If there is even a possibility of not getting queued, then it is a huge failure on Blizzards part. The fact that “Medium (realms) should expect queues at launch, with increasing severity from High to Full” is mind boggling to me.
Players want to be part of a realm that will have longevity, population wise, as such are going to go for high pop realms. Who is going to risk going to a medium realm, that has queues at launch, but might not have good population three-six months down the road?
I was super excited about name reservation, but it seems to me that the execution was an after thought. What Blizzard should have done is release all the original realms they had during Vanilla, then merge those onto new server balancing for both overall population and faction balance.
As it is, guilds, friends, communities have decided on a realm and are coming up with contingencies, but worried to make the wrong choice. They could end up choosing a realm that all others choose and be back to square one.
24 hours day one but diminishing down to 1 hour or less by the end of the week.
Whatever the que times are, I’m sure they will be a herod amount of time!
How many people who currently have characters made on Herod will stay on there is my question. Are we going to see a good chunk switch servers or stay?

Just come to Stalagg and you don’t have to worry about silly Heroid Queues.
