Service Update -- 3:00 p.m. PST November 25

I really want off this server please offer people to transfer all their characters off the server to another server please. Wait 2 year for a expansion to come out and get 3 to 4 hour que times because 3 big streamers come and all their viewers wanna play with them.

I dont think they are doing anything, frankly. Probably just waiting it out, hoping people stop logging in after launch excitement dies down.

Tbf, they are a company. Literally everything they do is “pocketbook minded”. Their whole purpose is to make money.

I remember a time where they at least pretended (and pretended well) to care about their product and consumers.

Except a DDOS is unexcepted demand. Blizzard has full numbers on how many individual subscriptions exist for the servers in question. Yes they don’t know 100% because some like me have toons on multiple servers. But the majority of my toons are on Stormrage and Area52, followed by Sargeras. So if they looked at their #s of how many toons belong to unique bnets on a server. then used the historical data that they should have to say that in the previous two launches, X % of them tried to log in and take a small percentage off for those that may try to get on a different server for once, then they have a pretty good idea. But based on the actual results, they literally didn’t apply any standard statistical model or properly planned. They’re relying on Blizz apologists to make excuses like this for them. That it was like a DDOS… which is actually just ignorance hiding behind fancy terms.

are we able to get free transfers from Area 52?

Nope. According to Customer “Service,” Blizz will NOT offer free realm transfers. But they will refund your expansion purchase price. Just got confirmation of my $79.99 refund.

Free character transfer. Please!

Some of the full servers only became full when they completed server connections. Frostmourne wasn’t full, only high, until it was connected to Jubei/Gundrak, now all three are full and nothing but issues.

got booted, now in an 80 minute 1760 strong queue for area 52. Guess I will go do housework.

Caring about consumers is “pocketbook minded”. People are more willing to spend if they feel the company cares. What they are balancing right now, assuming they are debating free transfers, is if they would lose more money from people unsubbing, or from doing transfers for free.

Thanks in advance but reallly please do something, +2hrs queue from 5pm are crazy U_U maybe the scripth that allow you guys to kick afk should be check it i dunno :heart: im just talking about something i don’t manage but,… i’m so so so desperate. remember that for some of us,the game is like drugs xD Say NOT to drugs tho :V

Conveniently posted 4 hours after I paid for a Character Transfer to one of these realms… they kept the money though KEKW

That’s great and all but the important issue right now is people who left their characters in torghast cant log in or get the error “world server down” and also trying to get a new character to start the shadowlands questline it says world server down.
Would love some sort of information about this issue.

Thanks for the update, Kaivax. Hopefully the queues for Area 52 will become shorter in the near future here.

Logged in just a few minutes ago to a (2) hour average queue again, With a queue of of 1,500 waiting to login to the game server.

A little better than earlier this week where the queue was well over 3,000 waiting in the queue. Hopefully the queue will continue to get shorter over time. :slight_smile:

I think Area52 is the only server left with a Q

2 Days later still a 3+ hour queue anytime after 1pm PST “our number one priority

I’d love if Blizzy took people who speak like this to their head qtrs and tossed them in the mess.

“Since you are so well informed, go ahead, fix the issues yourself.”

— This stuff isn’t an easy fix. Taunting and crying won’t make anything go faster.

I think it has been years since I have posted on the forums. I have read a lot of posts about A52 since SL launch. A lot of anger and frustration as well as a lot of disdain for some reason towards folks that call the server home. I can tell you I have been on A52, as many of us have, since BC. It has always been a high pop server with some queuing when xpac’s are released for the first few days but in all the time I have played this game, since original beta, I have never seen a situation as bad as it is on A52 right now. A 500 queue at 3PM server time on a Saturday is just crazy. I am sure it will be 2-3 hours again tonight. Almost a week post release, there is something very much wrong and it is disheartening that Blizzard has been silent about it for 3 days now.

And before some start the “just move”, I have all my toons on A52. I shouldn’t have to move especially someone that has been here since BC.

I think we would all appreciate some type of update Blizz. Silence is almost as bad as dealing with the queues.

dude they clearly dont care. Your post wont make them care. Just saying that you a preaching to a deaf audience.

I was ok with the first week. We are into week 2 now. I am not ok with it. My sub ends soon. I am letting my sub run out. I will not resub until this nightly Q is gone
