Over the weeks since several high-population realms were configured to allow two layers, and therefore twice as many concurrent players, we’ve carefully observed and tracked the player populations on those realms. Our goal has been to reach a conclusion – a time at which we could safely “delayer” and return those realms to the same population controls as every other realm.
Today, we have done exactly that. All realms in this region are now operating without layers.
I’m sure it’s pure coincidence that this was done a few weeks after the release of phase 5, on all the layered servers in Europe and the US at the same time.
Would it really have been so bad to tell people that you would keep them layered until after the gates had been opened?
Nice blizzard ques on classic again because that was so great the first time! Who cares about layering as long as you don’t have to sit in a que, I pay to play the game not wait 3 hours in que after work.
