I so love playing tbc classic, and i really wish blizzard would keep the momentum and create more capacity for firemaw, im afraid that it soon will be too late and create a negativ spiral of loss of momentum.
I remember back in original tbc, servers would eventually struggled with high
population. The solution which i think Blizzard was hoping for was that sometimes a big pack of different guilds (also some of the best) would coordinate a move together.
However in classic tbc this is not possible since all the other servers is either german, or have hugh faction imbalance. It is simply too risky for guilds to coordinate a move to a low pop server. What if an amount of players wont join them, even if they just miss a few players will they even be able to recruit enough competent players on a low pop server? This could destroy the guild and therefore i dont think it will happen.
thanks for reading our posts im looking forward to WOLK but really hope you would fix que times really soon!
Just came home from work, wanted to login (its a Monday at 8:30pm) and its a 8500 Player Queue with 3hr estimated wait time. Played on FIremaw ever since and its just so unfair.
This sums it up pretty perfectly. Already last week the queues were so long that by the time I finally got in I didnāt even feel like start something up ingame, du to lack of time left to actually play the damn game.
I do love wow. But if this crap keeps going on when my sub runs out in a couple of weeks I wont be renewing it.
There are other, non-blizzard, games good enough to keep me entertained that I donāt have to pay a monthly fee for and will be able to actually play and enjoy.
This is pure denial of service. If you remember Blizzard encouraged players to move with a free transfers to Firemaw because the player base was spread on many servers and players were complaning of lack of people for PVE/PVP content. But there was no moderation of the process. Free transfer was open for ages, nobody took the time to actually calculate how much is the optimum for the server and nobody took the time to stop the free transfers in time. And now we are faced with a situation where you pay for a service you are unable to receive. I will not be surprised if Blizzard (Microsoft) introduce a āpay to log-in fasterā system ā¦ sitting in the queue now hoping i can log-in before wrath is out ā¦ no light in the tunnel tho. Transfer off the server is not a valuable option also since it is the same denial of service going to a empty server and playing solo PVP* with the farming bots on empty servers. Only hope for classic players is that the next expansion of retail is actually worth it and some player base moves to play retail ā¦ again far fetched ā¦
Some people I know literally use teamviewer at work to login their char before the 9to5 workers come home.
Firemaw should have been locked for server transfer months ago. But the fact that its STILL NOT LOCKED is nothing but a slap in the face for people that have grown their communities on the server over the last couples of YEARS.
You canāt be polite about this anymore. There is no constructive criticism left on this topic. This is shameful and an insult to your customers.
People who are responsible for this mess should be fired on the spot
That wont do much if everybody buys that pass, there wont be much faster logins will there?
Another thought though, mentioning Microsoft. Someone should really point them to what is going on here. I mean they should be pretty interested in keeping their paying customers in this company they just aquired.
It is clear, that Blizzard will not fix the problem. But thereās a solution from community side. It is to make a transfer event for alliance (as theres more ally on firemaw) . The queues are usually about 5-9k. If around the same amount of people agree to transfer to Gehennas for example, (pop is around 1000/6000 a/h) that would make gehennas decently balanced, therefore appealing to newcomers. Currently Firemaw is the only ONLY en server somewhat balanced and with decent population.
I would be crazy if you didnāt complain here, we live in 2022 and you ignore us like fools, like we donāt pay anything to play. Everyone should write a post, to be heard far away !!
atleast i can appreciate that since i got in queue at 8pm i had the time to go back to university, get a diploma, find a girlfiend, marry her, make 3 kids, get a mortage, pay it out, plant olive trees, make my own oil and i was still 50 min in queue.
Your completely free to move server if you donāt like these āgehennas ratsā as you call themā¦
Iāve seen your posts on several occasions now and they always reek of bad langauge and insults like that. Pure ignorance.
If keeping queues on Firemaw (while the only offered solution is FCT, even officially stated on Twitter) is supposed to be some sort of a tool to save dead realms, itās a really bad one.
