Excellent. I’m sure this 15 minutes will help ensure a smoother experience for us all. Yesterday was a serious stress test for all of us. But, we should have expected a lot of it. We’d been warned about 5 hour queue times well in advance. I think blizzard dropped the ball a bit with slow new server releases, but who could really predict that so many of us were really going to storm the gates of Azeroth. After jumping servers a few times, I got in after about 2 hours of waiting. Once I got in, it was awesome linking up with old friends and instantly making new ones. Cry all you want kiddies, this game is awesome and it ain’t just nostalgia. Blizz is working hard to do this right. You can sense that they realize what the success of this launch can do for the life of the company. Original developers are coming back to both work on the project and play the game. It’s very exciting. Have some much needed patience and be ready to establish the true love for the game that we all established 15 years ago. It’s on now boys and girls!
Damn last night was a real shtshow. My minor interest in Classic has already waned.
All of us. All. Of. Us. Blizzard was the only one who didnt seem to understand what the community could see coming from a mile off
When will this idea die? They said move to Stalagg and that had the 2nd highest queue behind Herod at one point. Oh, but then it was, “O M G guys, Stalagg is full now too, better move to this other server.” How often do you want people to reorganize due to sheer incompetence of Blizz? Look, I’m not one to casually say people are dumb and this and that, but the initial server count is complete and utter incompetence. Yes, this could have been foreseen by Blizzard.
This is all part of Blizzards plan. Some of these servers will probably die in a few months.
Don’t forget, it was “OMG guys stalagg is full now too, move to another server. BTW not opening server until 5 hours before launch in the middle of a monday. LOL made you sub”
Having a wonderful time in Azeroth!
Your comment is exactly why they limited servers…Your minor interest…noone likes servers that low population.
5k queue 150 min for Arugal. Oceanic.
Are the forums being updated at the same time?
After maintenance there should be a server named “Ragequit”!
Just to clarify. Is the maintenance only 15 mins or the full hour?
Servers are already back up.
I know, made a pot of coffee and was like whoa they are back up again
Anyone else have no NPCs in Ironforge on Rattlegore?
When you get D/C from the queue and log back in, you have your spot saved. So I imagine this is why you are moving backwards in line. I was in queue last night and my power went out for about 30 seconds. I logged back in thinking the worst, but my spot was saved. So I am assuming this is why.

I guess the 7 1/2 hrs in que last night was not enough of a frick you charlie huh?
TL/DR: Blizzard pooped the bed for a lot of people on what should have been a very special day. Somebody has some ‘splaining to do.
Yes that’s what I said…not sure if serious.
