You did a lot of marketing and only two servers?? Didn’t you learn the lesson how popular the game is??? Is this 2005 all over again???

The mass majority of players will die and quit. For instance only 0.8% of Warlocks make it to 60. Blizzard doesn’t want a bunch of dead servers. You don’t want to spread the few people that make it to 60 across multiple realms…because it would make it very hard (if not impossible) for them to raid.

lotta tourists nowadays who drop a game within a week no matter how good or bad it is, no point making a ton of servers for those people.

Two seems to be plenty in my opinion.
I had to wait five minutes to get into Defias, and there were LOTS of people, but I imagine it will die down to a manageable level fairly quickly.
it’ll pick up tomorrow and through the weekend but it wont be nothing like wrath queues or anything else we had.
i give it maybe 2 weeks tops b4 ppl dont care anymore and thats being generous lol.
Considering both are full, and they announced a maintenance for tomorrow? More could be coming.

Japan to bloodsail was like this and its tolerable.
You aren’t pushing cutting edge stuff to where server tick matters really. Its not do or die perfect raid rotation here.
HC can be quite the opposite. Sticking around for that hail mary hit to drop a mob as you are at 10%…has ended many HC careers lol. Leaving at 25% is usually the wiser call than hoping for a hail mary hit.
This game is like x com sometimes. When you need that hit…its gonna be a miss. A 95%…miss.
2 servers looks like plenty. One had no queue and the other had like a 5 min queue.
And this is at launch.
In a week neither one will have a queue.
Hardcore isn’t that popular.

Full and overcrowded servers at launch is a hallmark of Blizz - did you really expect them to live up to the promise of opening up more servers, if the two they made, became full? I hoped, but with reservations, seems I was rigth in my fears.
They stated that they had extra servers ready for launch. Seems they did not bother adding them. I do not think more is coming, olnly if in the next 24 hours there’ll be a massive influx of players - which I do not find entirely likely.
… two servers full and the RP one still also full. Think again.

This isn’t true. I’ve played Ark since 2015 and haven’t stopped much but to play other games like this one. Plus I’ve played WoW off and on since 2009.
I also regularly go back and replay some From Software games like Bloodborne or Elden Ring.
Generally when they have opened “more servers” not long after most of those are dead. There is such a historical list of times this has happened… this is probably why there are two servers in this region.

2 servers. More than 10 layers/phase each.
The classic team is the best team at Blizzard, they know what they’re doing. Just play the thing and have fun.

They only have 2 servers as this trend will die out. Look how it went with Bloodsail. Really can’t please anyone it seems. They make too many servers, people cry. don’t make enough, people cry
