I worry about transfering to a realm that might be dead in a few months.

In the first four days of launch? Several. Weâre about to spend thousands of hours in this game over the next few years. Repeating 20 of them at the start isnât that big of a deal.

flip side. a low pop server is 4x the population of a vanilla locked server.
blizzard will get down to 1 layer by phase 2. which means that a low pop server is still extremely populated and is in fact still overpopulated.

Hear hear. My guildmates and I moved from Herod to Stalagg to Sulfuras and weâre rolling deep now. It wasnât ideal but it got us playing and it got us together.

Next theyâll be asking for LFG (oh waitâŚ) and flying rofl
Geez louise they even said hey might have some queue times at the start gaiz
Westfall is consistently medium throughout the day. Low in the mornings. High with a very very low wait time (8 mins) during peak nighttime hours.
E: not pvp. New PvP servers are releasing today, arenât they?
And itâs almost like plenty of people were telling Blizzard that the majority of people werenât going to abandon their characters and start over. Look, the fact is Blizz didnât have nearly enough servers. But whatâs done is done. They can fix this situation, but it requires free realm transfers.

Okay, so people refused to listen to what the company was telling them and were stubborn, now theyâre demanding that Blizz makes it up to them for not listening.

No. Wanna know what is mind-bogglingly crazy and utterly infuriating? EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE ARGUMENTS FROM PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF KEEP BLAMING PEOPLE FOR THIS AND UTILIZING REALMS LIKE HEROD AND FAERLINA AS AN EXAMPLE!
Guess what? Not everyone dealing with Queueâs plays one on of the high pop servers that were available for name reservations.
A huge portion of players did exactly what Blizzard suggested. We waited until more PvP realms became available at launch(myself and friends on Incendius) specifically to avoid queues like Blizzard mentioned. Guess what? We have absolutely brutal queues. 4k plus queues after capacity increase as soon as 3PM hits.
How about the people that rerolled post-launch to other âlow-popâ servers and still have to wait in queues huh?
Iâm so sick of reading the same non-sense from Blizzard apologists. This is completely unacceptable.
Also, did the people reserving names on Herod and Faerlina know what they were getting into? Yes.
Did Blizzard warn servers like Faerlina/Herod would be insanely full and people should think about joining other realms? Yes.
Did Blizzard continue accepting name reservations for servers like Faerlina/Herod when ALL OF THE DATA AND EVIDENCE SUGGESTED the servers were completely incapable of handling the amount of traffic from name reservations alone? Yes.
Did Blizzard open a bunch of additional servers pre-launch to keep up with the insane amount of demand for this game there was which was extremely obvious based on name reservation data? Nope.

The thing is we rerolled but still on a new server thereâs 7k plus queue they add 2-4 servers and 2 days later they are the same as the other one. So I should restart again on a fresh server or wait 3-4 hours to play because when I get off work at 7pm EST thereâs no way I can playâŚ

I made 6 characters on one realm, that ended up full a few days later.
I rerolled on another server and one that doesnât seem to be getting a lot of attention. Iâm at 8 characters now.
Easy, done.
So I can tell you their are literally 20 servers that have 0 queues as I have tested it and made alts on them to see the queue times. There are lots of servers that do not have queues.
Youâre fault for picking high queue servers Iâve literally done testing and I have found over 20 servers with 0 queues after 3pm.
Whitemane -> Fairbanks -> Rattlegore.
Not ideal, but I havenât experienced a queue in 2 days and Iâve out-leveled all my other characters already.
