I get the sense this has been asked, but why so many various classic and SOM servers? I understand why the various expansions - but why not a handful of classic servers with healthy populations? I see 40-50 people.
What’s the benefit to keeping us all on separate servers? Original classic was about grouping and helping each other accomplish quests and dungeons.
Before the shine came off the apple Classic was responsible for a huge boost to megacorps bottom line and so they used their analytics to make their best guess on what was going to keep the money flowing in.
As usual their typical response is, “appease everyone” and then some time passes before we say that probably wasnt the best way to go. But I cant blame Blizz for everything. The players didnt hesitate to make a mockery of it all but thats not a crime and its WoW so who really cares?
Not yours truly.
simple: when there’s long queues, people do this:
OMG queue.
AFK bypass.
people demand more servers.
“world of waitcraft”
“pay not to play”
“cancelled my sub”
when you open too many… problem is solved.
