I come home after work at about 9:30p and my queue to get into Netherwind is 76 minutes. As I write this, it is at 51 minutes. So I won’t even be able to start playing at all until 11pm - So basically the entire time I had to play before turning in is gone because of this queue. Netherwind was a quiet place but with just enough energy to feel like it wasn’t an empty world. Now I see multiple multi-boxing players of 3-5 in each situation (almost all mages). Cities are simply a sea of people and names moshing for attention - effecting performance at times - and this is classic, it’s the easiest thing on a computer to run, so that means the population density is insane.
So yeah, you’ve killed my server and I don’t know what to do about it, can’t play the game I enjoy playing now.
im a nerd and actually look forward to coming home and playing wow…jus starting to prepare everyday for atleast 30-40 minute queue to login between 8pm to midnight
Lol that’s insane, mankrik only has a ten minute queue and it’s litterally the only PvE server for horde. I think blizzard overdid it for you guys with the transfers, I’d probably just quit until TBC if our queues got that bad.
On the plus side, now you can roll on another server that seems cozy and balanced, knowing it’s only a matter of time before Blizz decides to ruin that one too.
But hey, when they do mess up your server by accident, because of course them doing this over and over must be a mistake- you’ll always have PCT to get you to another server.
But hey, that’s just me, I apparantly have a tin foil hat for thinking the thing that Blizz keeps doing that keeps screwing servers but makes them lots of money is intentional.
Idk I thought servers were kind of finally settling in. If it wasn’t for the Corona making everyone stay home with no work/school I doubt Incendius would of imploded making the transfers to Earthfury and Netherwind needed.
Yup, it’s sorta scaring me because I’m falling hard for this server. I’m on there now. It’s a little laggy in SW as usual. Netherwind is Full 24/7, even early weekday mornings! Uh oh. Crack! There goes my little heart, splitting in two. I can’t bend my whole life around a game server, and queues are a no-no. Sometimes I only have an hour or two to play as it is; I can’t spend it standing around in a queue!
Not everyone has the ability to do so but I agree it’s a good alternative and probably the only realistic one since Blizzard has yet to provide any sort of real communication on these issues since the free transfers started and closed.
That being said…remote desktop is just a bandaid on a much larger issue.
