Greetings. Incendius has not seen a severe queue since the week of launch. However, since paid server transfers opened up our server has blown up to now the #1 populated Classic server. Tonight our peak q is aiming to be 4,000 players and over a 3.5 hour wait. This is unacceptable, as a native player here I don’t understand why people are still able to transfer HERE. the server should either be locked to new transfers or free transfers OFF the server should be enabled immediately. Please at least acknowledge the problem and give us some sort of update. thank you
Trolls will respond with “$25 will fix this”
But we have 7 months with our guilds at this point. I cannot expect all 100 members to pay $25, ESPECIALLY with millions having just lost their jobs.

thanks for adding absolutely nothing productive to the conversation.

Absolutely asinine to expect an entire guild to server transfer because Blizzard has let a problem get out of control. It’s an insane ask to have 40 members log on and stay logged on 3 hours prior to raid time. Please resolve this.

it’s a warlock, what do you expect.
Unfortunately Blizzard laid off or excused all the employees due to Corona. We will see zero fix to the solution. I am sure Blizzard has no idea even. They havent posted to these forums in over 2 weeks, dont expect any blizzard involvement for months including a possible pushback of ZG.

Seriously!! I can’t even level my new toon because I have to wait in this queue. My friends and I all play on this server and end up moving to another game bc we don’t want to wait/waste money on a transfer. If anything, that’s exactly what Blizzard wants us to do - is pay money for a transfer. Screw that.

Refugees welcome, no gnomes are illegal.
I sympathise with your situation, I really do. But it’s not Blizzards fault that it’s players are dumb and only want mega servers. It’s not Blizzards fault people keep transferring there even if it’s full.
And you cannot stop transfers just because the server is full because to some people the queue time is not an issue for them…i mean the keep tranfering knowing full-well the server is at capacity while paying real money to do so.
I get it, it sucks. But blame the players for them being unwilling to play on a server with a reasonable population.

LOL Pollz is right on this. Stupid is as stupid does. Anyone who pays attention to Classic likely knows that this server is well over population.
That being said, a solution to the issue should still be addressed. Allowing original Incendius players to be first in queue or bring back layering are viable options.

It’s absolutely Blizzard’s fault when they originally have THREE east coast PvP servers planned 2 weeks before classic launch, then they have to scramble to make 20 more because they are completely clueless.

thanks pollz but you’re offering nothing of substance here. i’m aware of who’s fault it is. when realms get over capacity blizzard offers free transfers off. it’s happened dozens of times in the past and should have no issue happening again.

If Blizzard locked the server how would people transfer here?

I tried offering perspective on who is actually at fault, and it’s not Blizzard…but you can see everyone just wants to scapegoat Blizz instead of the players.
Why should Blizzard do that? What about the people who don’t mind queue times and want to play on a mega server? Why take that option away from them?

That literally solves one problem, temporarily while creating a chain effect of multiple problems. How can you people not see that?

This has become a real problem for our guild as we are slowly becoming unable to have fun and play the game anymore. A lot of us would much rather go back to sharding/layering instead of waiting 3hrs in front of our computer only to be missing half the raid because of insane queues and basic life situation.
Please Blizzard, address this issue.

The best part about this is- for a Horde that wants to do some pvp, that’s about 6-7 hours from trying to log in to finishing a single game.
I wonder when people will start to regret their decisions that have led to the downfall of this game? I’ll just be here waiting with a healthy dose of 'I told you so’s for all the ignored wisdom I bequeathed upon the community since launch that have all come true.
