there is no reason for blizzard to have a queue…the tech is available to have servers with handle things just fine. This is 100% on blizzard.

Oh stop it. Most people are not going to transfer their whole guilds to Angerforge. If this takes down Skyfury’s queues by half it will be a miracle.
I’m on Angerforge. I’m that person spouting constant positivity in the face of 20 trolls an hour saying Angerforge is dead, but…in every lie there is a grain of truth as they say. Angerforge’s main cities are as empty as Old Blanchy’s and Earthfury’s. We’ve got room to spare. And even at that, I’m hoping all the just-returning weekend warriors roll here tonight, Sat and Sun, and once Wrath launches besides.

They have came out and explicitly stated that the server tech was at its limits regarding mega servers. Check the wow community council thread. Imagine the entire wow community trying to play on five realms
The only hope is that they intend to merge these servers once the hype dies down. The only logical reason for keeping it in west coast

This is my thinking as well. Once the servers get stable a few months in, they can merge them and keep it 1 good sized realm

People said the same thing about Incendius… “lol nobody is going to leave dude”
Then 7,000 horde left in a single 24 hour period and well… that was that.

I think most ppl just want there to be some semblance of balance, which is why imo Blizz should implement a ‘faction balance range’, maybe to a max of 45-55. When you’re on a server that is 20-80, and you are in the 20, and you have a 2 hr queue on top of that… guess what’s gonna happen when they open up transfers.

Nah I blame Blizzard for lacking the foresight that a 4th grader would have. That they didn’t think this would happen a 3rd, 4th or even 5th time is beyond pathetic and the idiots in charge of server health and what not (if there even is such a person) need to be let go.

This is also a good option imo, instead of the usual ‘open up transfers to mega servers’.
On blizzard or not, if they want to hard server caps as part of their game design then that is their decision. Even if they used a cop out excuse like server limitations.
The truth is, several thousands of people flocked to a server clearly labeled as “full” and now are surprised when there is a queue.
Oh, also if you ask anyone on these servers, all 20,000 players have been there since day one

YOU check the threads…specifically this one
Don’t get me wrong, Blizzard’s handling of this server queue issue has been laughable at best. But I think it’s safe to assume that queues improving currently is only a temporary reprieve.
Once WOTLK launches, this problem is getting turned up to 11.

Why? It’s not serving just NA. It’s serving Australia, New Zealand, Asian countries outside China/Japan/Korea, South America, Central America and North America. West Coast is the closest to central ping wise for the OCX players.
Really blizzard…
Yeah, i read that, but having access to multitudes of perspectives and information I am inclined to believe that the current classic dev team has does everything in their power maximize server performance and max player cap on realms.
I go by occams razor on this issue. The devs are not banding together to lie about server s reaching their limitations. The simplest and easiest solutions is that the servers are full on players need to bite the bullet and take free xfers.
Come on man, leave the Blanch outta this one! 
well you are wrong…the tech is out there blizzard just wont spend money.
Rip angerforge fresh. 3 day lifespan
