based on ques from yesterday seems the real time to get in is 1K people = ~ 1 hour give or take 30 mins
For those of you to get an idea of the movement in the 1000-1500 range:
10:30 PST: #9000
12:43 PST: #1418
14:07 PST: #1270
84 mins for 148 places, or approximately 1.75 PLACES PER MINUTE

does this estimate take into account when the position in queue increases?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttâs how the Medium labels work.
My experience today (Whitemane):
11:30 PDT - #10,120; 260 minutes
12:00 PDT - #5xxx; 90 minutes (something happened and a bunch of the line disappeared)
1:30 PDT - #4xxx ; 90 minutes (I took a shower, went to Target, grabbed some food and came home)
2:10 PDT - numbers start dropping by 20-30 at a time, on a pretty constant level. My âtimerâ fluctuates between <1 minute, 90 minutes, and 40 minutes
2:40 PDT - #1820; 41 minutes
My initial âtimerâ estimated 4 hours, 20 minutes (nice). Im at 3 hours in line now

This seems 1000% backwards.
I hope there is a compensation for the long queue because i donât have the feeling ill be able to play anytime this weekâŚ
Incorrect. All East PvP servers are 3000+ queues.
I know they said you should expect possible several hours for Herod, but I logged into WoW: Classic around 3:30pm EST to get in the queue. Its 11:09pm EST right now, and iâm still 395 position in queue, with a â20 minuteâ queue for the past 50 minutes. Thats just stupid, the server shouldnt have allowed that many people to sign up to it, knowing the kind of player experience people were going to have. Our guild reserved our names over here on day 1 because of all the forums saying Herod was a Non-Streamer Server, it was East Coast, and PVP. They wait for them to go full, which means HOURS of wait time, before opening new ones. I just dont understand that if you knew it would get this bad, why did it take so long for you all to open servers during the name reservation period? I mean Iâm almost at 8 hours for my queue nowâŚ

Been in que since 12pm EST, nearly 10:20 and about to go to bed because I have work tomorrow 
thank you blizzard for not listening ever to the community and constantly having the worst launches in history.
got to .v 22 classic was a fun game canât wait to see how TBC goes in 3 years
maybe by then they will fix the screw ups we are dealing with now
You can delete my names if that will help.
LOL, they built Classic from listening to the community, your logic:
ShockingâŚSHOCKING.
a hidden gem. i never even saw this post as people were trying to tell me that removing layering would not affect queues.
well hereâs proof otherwise.
I wish theyâd give us an idea about how big their ideal server pop is. is it 3k? is it 3k per faction? is it 12k?
Iâm on AR and the place feels like a ghost town. before they killed the census app I saw around 2k horde on during peak timesâŚ

well, with the cleave meta going on, a lot of people are probably hiding in dungeons. making everything seem like ghost towns.
thatâs the only thing i can think of anyways. because 2k horde is a rather large amount with no layers.
Oh wow, this thread has aged like warm milk now hasnât it!
Login queues in excess of 10k players, amazing, they couldnât be more right and it wasnât just Herod either!
Based on what weâve seen in the last few weeks, it seems like if anything, Classic is picking up steam and the ironic part is that the new servers theyâve added and free transfers they offered havenât done enough to combat things.
As the 1 month sub expiration date quickly approaches we will just have to wait and see if we have a net LOSS or net GAIN of players on Classic but I really think we are going to see a growing population over time and NOT a shrinking one. Classic WoW is the darn philosophers stone of MMO formulas, people werenât leaving WoW because they were tired of the game, they left because the game CHANGED from what it was.
Iâll tell you what, Blues, I do not envy you in the least. People talk about certain problems being the kind you want, but Iâm not sure that underestimating demand like has obviously happened is one of those kinds of problems.
Good luck!
