Merge OCE with NA

The AV queue is around 40 mins at the moment, the WSG queue is even longer. I enjoy having a great ping, but I’d rather play with a disadvantage than sit in the queue forever.

As for Alliance saying we picked horde so suffer the consequences, it is in your best interests for us to merge battlegroups as well. The queues are only going to get worse as time goes by. The honour hungry horde will soon realise they can make far more honour camping the world while they wait for bgs to pop, instead of just sitting in the Alterac Mountains duelling. It will be just like it was last week, except there will never be any relief.

No, I would rather wait hours for a queue than play on 150 ping.

What makes you think the queues will be faster then? You’re then adding alliance and even more horde to the queue system. The ratio will stay roughly the same. NA have their own games and we have ours.

Nah, no thanks man.

Also re-roll alliance; this is the real answer.

If enough horde go Alliance then the problem is solved and the Q’s will be fast for both factions.

I did it, you can too.

No, it’s not; its just time for you or some other horde to re-roll like my guild and I did already months ago.

This will happen for NA Horde too; the thing proping up their Q’s right now are PVE players on the alliance side dredging up BiS loot.

Soon as they got their bling from the vendors the Horde Q’s NA side are gonna get nasty.

IMO your only real choice is re-roll or enjoy the wait while outside Org dueling; time to improve your PVP skills or make a new character.

On NA, Alliance queue is nearly instant. On Horde, around 3-5 minutes.

Also, you shouldn’t give Blizzard ideas about merging OCE players into the NA BG queue. Someone might take to mean the servers in Aussie aren’t worth the cost, whatever it might be large or small, for Classic as well as retail.

This sounds like an OCE problem. Why screw up NA for it?

Nobody with half a brain cell in their head wants to play on US servers over OCE servers. Sorry dumb dumb, you chose the overpopulated faction now deal with it.

Do not merge, the entire reason to play OCE is the ping.

Everyone said horde queue times were going to be awful, if you want faster queue times roll alliance. (that’s how the servers eventually balance, the overpop faction needs a downside, this is it, you chose it, live with it or reroll)

No, the split is 38 to 62 A:H on arugal (arugal has 14000 characters at 60)
40 to 60 split on yojamba (8000 characters at 60)
60 to 40 split on remulos (3000 characters at 60)
52 to 48 split on felstriker (1500 characters at 60)

11100 OCE alliance 60s to 15400 OCE horde 60s

In OCE there are generally 38.7% more horde than alliance

Wow. Why the flip compared to retail?

Rule of thumb in vanilla:

Horde = best solo PvP racials
Alliance = best PvE and group PvP

Most people wanted the horde racials, it’s been a rule of thumb for 9 years of vanilla private servers and it certainly didn’t change in classic, so everyone had huge forewarning of how this was going to go.

Horde always have long queue times, I was horde back on a pserver with 15min queue times on avg.

screw off. Last time that happened it raised general ping by 200 in some matches. Stay with your own side of the world. seriously.

Take your tears and your hypotheticals somewhere else… You want to fix ‘your’ problem by making something worse for everyone else.
We sat through the pain of WPVP, you can sit through this… or don’t. Just dont come crying here about it.
As with every horde on OCE, when WPVP was happening, you had no complaints. Yet we suffered through it. Now when the shoe is on the other foot, you expect a change? Move along.

Haha hope the few weeks of one sided WPvP were worth it. Enjoy your queues sucker.

No.

Horde basically deserve what they get - which is 40 minute waits for battlegrounds for picking the overpopulated faction.

Ya, how about go F yourself, I hope your queues reach two hours for being such a garbage person IRL.

Yo Alliance this is why Horde will Turtle a game and make it last for over an Hour. They make out that they are good but the reality is this is the only way they can get rep and honor.

Not the only way, but the most effective way due to high q times. Longer games benefit us just as much as shorter games.

The difference is its more fun extending an av than sitting in a q.
