Yeah cuz alliance players love moving to a realm that is 99.8% horde. Their realm choice was idiotic.

As a loyal Blizzard shareholder, I feel the queue times are beneficial. I feel I am getting a solid return on my money invested.
In these tough economic times, it is more important than ever to safeguard your investorsâ equity and I have full confidence in Activision/Blizzard leadership to do just that.

if cubicle races as reinstated as acceptable work practices , can a person jump ahead in the queue? asking for a friendâŚ
They did this a lot, and were actively commenting on it as it was happening - explaining why they were adding the layers even though players were saying they didnât want layersâŚ
For once, I agree with you - I canât fathom why it worked ~16 months ago with almost no repercussions but now it just somehow isnât even talked about as something that could possibly ever work.

Can you quote any Blizzard official saying that layers were intended to mitigate the risks of their servers crashing?
Also, Iâm still waiting on a response from you regarding our conversation! Unless providing any explanation of your extremely aggressive stance is too big of an askâŚ
I was on Benediction day one when they released classic. When TBCC released, I couldnât stand it anymore because the server was overpopulated and I couldnât play with East coast players anyway because of my weird schedule. My friend (and a bunch of his IRL and game friends) rerolled on Grobbulus at the beginning of this year in anticipation for Wrath Classic. It was a âHigh Populationâ realm at that point, but a lot more chill than Bene imo.
So am I supposed to transfer off of it and leave my friend and a bunch of the new friends and guildies Iâve made on that server??

How do you sleep at night? Itâs people like you that are the problem by giving these wealthy corporations the confidence that they can treat their customers the way they do. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I sleep on a pile of money with many beautiful ladies thanks to my investments.

Capitalist pig. Itâs people like you that give people a bad name. This is toxic masculininity at itâs worst. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Grobbulus isnât in a state where it makes any sense to transfer off because of wait times. Something you need to understand is that everyone is logging in during major content releases. Even if you were playing on a much smaller realm, this would still be the case.
Just one more reason why all of this incessant whining is ridiculous. This is basically the equivalent of all the Karens flooding the forums every time scheduled maintenance goes an hour over schedule even though weâve had almost two decades of experience with this.

I donât need to quote them to understand what layering solve on a technical level.
And I donât know what âservers they are usingâ, only they know, but I can make assumption based on the issue that itâs either old technology that canât do proper scalability or that they are purposely refusing to scale their servers for money reasons.
The likelihood of being anything else is close to 0.
A better solution? Spend money on modern online services and use software that allow scaling and donât have a limit on how much it can scale, just on how fast it can scale, so long as the scaling time isnât longer than the industry standard.

No offense, but everyone defending Blizz at this point basically has Stockholm Syndrome. Yes, the game has been out for almost 20 years, yes we have been through multiple expansions with extremely long queue times, but this is why a lot of us are annoyed. Blizzard shouldâve learned from their past mistakes and had a fix for it. They had plenty of time to brainstorm ideas for a smooth release for Classic, but they obviously didnât plan for it being so popular. This goes to show they do not listen to the players, like REALLY listen to them. They only care about the bottom line.

Oh, so Ion Hazzikostas saying that layering was intended to keep the game playable when specific zones were packed with people⌠Not a credible source I guess? You and your assumptions on this topic are more credible source?
Oh, so you donât know what technology theyâre using to solve these problems, but youâre absolutely certain that itâs dated, and specifically dated because of corporate greed? That seems like really weak grounds for such aggressive stance on this topic.
Iâm still curious and waiting for a response on what you think layering is, specifically, and why you think it doesnât affect server population, but also think it somehow affects the likelihood of server crashes.
Mispeled you are getting trolled man. My friend who is in tech said the same thing as you are saying btw.

I donât think heâs trolling. But I am wasting my time trying to explain networking to someone who probably donât know the difference between a modem and a router.

Wouldnât be dead if a bunch of you dogpiled into it like you did with your âFullâ servers though, would it?
Success is toxic?
Iâm sorry you have failed at everything in your life, maybe change out your face diaper and get some fresh air. You may like what you find.
Xerxy Itâs people like you who make it impossible for good people like me to succeed. I bet you believe in male and female genders too. You are so toxic. Itâs not my fault. Itâs yours. How do you sleep at night?
