I have no idea tbh. If you had a source on this, that would be good to know. But even if I saw something official saying that that was the case, I would say that either its not working properly or its designed to be too aggressive. And also, that would mean it wasn’t working on the first few hours after launch.
Its the first weekend of MoP. There can’t be THAT little people that weren’t able to play much until now. There should be a lot of players just getting off work, and getting on to level their main or their alts, or to do professions or what have you.
Also if we’re still on the question of whether or not there are ANY layers, I can safely answer with a yes. Now, if the question is “is it too many layers?” then I’m not quite certain, but I feel like the answer is also yes.
All I know is I logged in on the 21st, went straight to Jade Forest, everyone was saying how awful the lag was, there were sooo many people running around, and then a few hours later, my lag is completely gone, but there’s almost no one to be seen. Only one person every 20 minutes or so. The only benefit is that my mining of ghost iron went pretty unchallenged.
And again, /who tells me there’s a way more people in the zone then what I see. Now, maybe I’m wrong and /who doesn’t show you people in other layers, but if it does, then that pretty definitively proves that they split us up into a few too many layers.
Same. I’m quite certain the population is reaching at least half of its peak, if not much closer. But I guess she was just going off of Ironforge population statistics, which thinks Grob is still only at 1000 pop.
But, again, that’s only based on max level arenas and raids… Are arenas even available yet? And as for raids, I wouldn’t base anything off of that only on not even a full week after launch day.
