It will pass, in less than a week any queues will be a long forgotten distant memory.
This is not the mountain you’re all making it out the be.
You simply need better discipline and patience.
If you took the day off for launch, well your dumb, taking a day off work to play a video game doesn’t entitle you to anything.
Any inconvenience is your own fault from your lack of foresite and constant disregarding of warnings from players telling you exactly what a typical day 1 launch looks like.
I suspect all the queue whiners arnt even classic fans, just dumb hype beast boys that have to be there day 1 because of HYPE.
Once hype goes so do they.
Basically the players complaining about needing a perfect day 1 are cancer player’s that will end up leaving anyway.
No one that plans on playing long term gives a crap about launch chaos, it’s a good metric to see who is a real classic player and who’s a zoomer just here for twitch hype.
I’m in for the long haul. If I can’t log in on launch day, I’ll try again the next. I’m far more concerned about keeping a healthy population after the drop off.
The blue post seems to directly contradict your idea that it’ll last only a week for the Herod realm. People need to move or the queues will possibly last months.
“If all existing players on this server remain there, login queues in excess of 10,000 players are a certainty, and possibly much higher than that.”
“with severe queues when we turn off layering permanently before Phase 2 of our content unlock plan.”
I’m quoting what Blizz said. Take it or leave it. They warned you. They specifically mentioned severe queues once layering is turned off, which won’t happen until phase 2, so that’s a time frame of a couple of months, give or take.
They even mention this here, which seems to indicate that there is a possibility queues will be so high that you might even get disconnected from it being capped.
