Will we ever be offered free transfers off these high population servers? Whatever is being done is just a band-aid unless these servers are brought to a manageable population. Offering free transfers to low pop realms would help with this immensely.
Been in queue for 3 and a half hours now as well, 1.5 hours estimate remaining.
This issue is massively overlooked. I suggest whoever is monitoring this issue take it up with the boss upstairs, its time. A solution exists, its time.
This is $@“&ing ridiculous. Last night I didn’t even bother playing because of the server queues. 15 minutes is tolerable but 4-5 hours? This game has been around since 2004 and you guys still can’t handle maintenance like this. This @$!& doesn’t add up.
Maybe, just maybe, their first maneuver was to not release SL just before a holiday…
Actually i just watched their stocks and it DOES add up. Nothing to change here as long as shareholders make money.
Their response was to polish the game but I’ve encountered bugs and things like this.
^ True, I agree completely. The accountants run things. Nerds in suits.
Yep, do this please. I can always transfer back in a couple of weeks to raid with my guild. I just want to play my main!
thanks! This 2+ hour wait is not pleasant in the slightest
well you have to give this small indie company some slack, this the first year of wow and activision pushed them to release the game before their intended release date, what, it’s not like they’re SE who has to man power and money to do things like cut off new character creation (even alts) when a server nears congestion, doesn’t give influencers priority queues (coincidence only goes so far), give bonuses for rolling on low pop servers and priority queue if you were kicked from the game (I SWEAR wow had this)…
so you know cut this tiny no name dev some slack… they have a lot to learn
ok so 3 hour plus que times and you said they had increased realm capacity but currently the que times have not changed since release 5000 + people in 268 min que. So please stop blowing smoke up our ***** and actually do something to address this issue
They actually said the increased the realm capacity but then some realms had too many people log in and cause performance problems so they lowered the realm capacity.
I even heard they were underfunded =(
I dont see anything fixed in Illidan. Im in a 2h queue worse than yesterday… looks like i aint loging today cuz in 2hrs im going to sleep cuz im already tired from work…
My queue time just cut in half, did they scour this forum and kick everyone making dumb comments?
Thanks for the update. While the 4 hour queue is not fun, I do realize that you guys are working on it. I only ask that you don’t work your people too hard and let them enjoy Thanksgiving. In the end this is a video game, and peoples lives and families are more important.
This is not right Blizzard…This is agonizing and torture…Please, why after so many years and expansions I am being punished like this? Why are you against offering free server transfers???
You have a perfect solution but youre not willing to do it…WHY?
God I am so angry and upset right now…Probably more than I have been all year…
Just got in after 5 hours of waiting, loaded into Ardenweald. Disconnected immedietely T_T. This isn’t fair
I wonder if it is one of those situations where they don’t want to communicate what the real problem is. For example, if they anticipated this and asked for and recommending more equipment, but the funding was denied from the Bean Counters. Possibly creating a situation where the game folks don’t want to throw their “Bosses” at Blizzard/Activision under the bus publicly in fear they may be reprimanded. If more stockholders played this game, I believe it would be a different story.
