Open Question: An Alternative to Queues?

No. Faction restriction and free realm transfers. End of story. Fix the server sizes and populations.

got a super SWEET 4 hour and 45 minute queue to log into whitemane right now, feels good

Not enough people take the free transfers. Banning the bots and addressing the idling multiboxers would help more.

Yeah like whatever the solution, I just wish the answer wasn’t “layering” every time we run into a problem.

So… queues?

I am of the same mind. Layering is a band-aid, and an obnoxious one at that. But necessary when you are literally bleeding out because of 2 hour queues.

They need to have a more long term solution to prevent this from happening in the first place. It’s 2020. Blizzard has had years of experience dealing with these very issues. The only reason they are dropping the ball now would be that they are a completely different, wholly less competent company. Hmm.

FACTION QUEUES. Limit the server to X number of players PER FACTION. This would help balance the in-game world population.

Im so curious, why is the player limit so low? It’s 2020. Surely you have the hardware to support much more than you did 15 years ago.

It would not. Whitemane is almost a dead even 50/50 Alliance/Horde split right now, and is suffering from the longest queues. The amazing faction balance here is part of the reason it has become so much more popular than the multitude of broken 70/30 servers out there.

Yes, oh for the love of mercy, god please yes. Literally DO NOT CARE how many layers there are lol

Yes, definitely bring back layering for Faerlina. Our guild raids have been heavily impacted by the queue times. Layering will likely be required for Phase 5 anyway.

Another suggestion would be to add Black Lotus spawns to instanced dungeons so a small percentage of players can’t corner the market.

Oh please, 5 hour que on Whitemane is too much, i cant hold even over 30minutes

Megaservers are a private server meme

Yes, but the meme has caught on and proven to be wildly popular amongst the general Classic playerbase, most of whom never played on private servers. It turns out that having a massive population of players to group up with, recruit for raids, PvP against, and buy/sell with in a game designed to be socially driven ends up being a better way to play for a large number of paying customers.

So, the queues are just as bad now as they were before you brought back layers, so can you just bring back layers already?

90 minutes queue in Arugal. What are you doing Blizzard?
