What is the point of posting the population of a server if everyone one is going to have a queue time anyway? Even lower pop servers still have queue. This is extremely frustrating for those that are on high pop servers. Not only do they not say “full” so of course everyone wants to be on a high pop server, they of course have the longest of all queue times. Classic is about having 1 character because there is so much time and detail into farming everything. So we can’t just move on to a low popular server when alot of us are already 10 that took hours to get too. It’s extremely frustrating the lack in response blizzard has in at least addressing this as an issue. Now I have to sit in a queue time for 2 hours just to play my level 10 character because classic has no transfers and all my friends are on this server. I never see issues with servers as much as this game has seems to have since it was first started. Fortnite has 100000x more players playing yet their servers seem to never have issues with “population” and that game is FREE. It seems blizzard takes the cheapest route and has the lowest quality servers out of any game I’ve ever played.
I imagine the reason for the queue is server stability. I don’t really get it, I’m on one of the largest servers and there was not only no instability, but no lag. Until a random DC last night I had zero technical issues.
I kind of wish they’d just increase the player cap - I’ve sat at around 3k in queue for an hour.
Can’t agree more. Honestly, I’m on Whitemane, already invested 25 hours in a character and have no hope of changing servers. I can only play either at 11:00 PM or get on at 7:00 AM. I’m so tired of 9000 queues but it’s a sunk cost. I can’t start again on a new server bc ALL THE TIME I’ve invested already. I just want to play the game…
i went to make my family dinner only took 25mins. was afk logged out. tried to sign back in and was hit with a 4hour que. so i went afk for over 2hours before coming back to check and i was removed from the que. re entering another 4 hour que
Absolutely horrendous. I made the gruesome mistake of logging in and out to add another add-on that was mentioned in global. Now i have a 46 minute wait time to get back on, after only being online for 15 minutes after the first 25 minute que.
I am not even on a full server, and it has offered me a character migration, but of course to the one and only oceanic server I do not want to be on.
What a crock of S$%! @ Blizzard.
The only Oceanic server with a queue right now is Arugal and it is most definitely full.
im on Bene and the queue is 4+ hours every day all day… Its absurd… Who runs this “business” ? cause it seems they really need to get off the golf course and focus on making their products usable by customers… Forcing customers into Waiting 4 hours to play a game they pay a subscription fee for is not a smart business plan…
