I’m trying to play on Shazzrah since the launch day. I did wait on que for at least 15-20 hours. Have not played a single minute ! not a fascinating single minute… I’m paying my subs for just classic. And I want my game time extended. I dont care if your servers are leave a lot to be desired, incapable of running what they made for… I will cancel my subs and go play on a decent private server or play another game rather than having struggles here with my money !
I know you are milking the new comers and hype followers, but you are losing your core players while doing that… I know you guys talking to eachother that the overwhelming newcomers will stop playing and you guys will get away with that, but this is not fair for us.
Why did you want to play on Shazzrah since launch day? Blizzard warned you for days, if not weeks that that server would be INCREDIBLY crowded and HUGE queues would be expected.
Blizzard are continiously adding new servers to try to make up for their shortcomings, so you could’ve spent those 20 hours playing instead of sitting in queues.
I do feel bad for you and I think maybe blizz will do something for people but I wouldnt say it was deserved.
This launch has been crazy, I dont mean by issue but by popularity. I knew it would be popular, I said it would get 1million views on Twitch but I expected it to be similar to vanilla launch where it grew from word of mouth. Didn’t expect it to be so popular day one.
There must be millions of us just in the EU trying to play.
It was clear as day this sh*tfest would take place at launch. I am just pretending that WoW classic is going to get released in two weeks from now. Waited for two years anyway… Any hour of gameplay stolen until then is a nice bonus. Just pick an “empty” server and keep your names reserved on the overcrowded ones, in case you want to transfer in 6 months.
To anyone who took days off work for launch… well, I feel you folks, but what did you expect? Have you never experienced a WoW expansion release before?
I made char on low pop realm, now its full… iam not starting a new char… blizz could have just put up more servers but no now iam stuck on full server.
@Lugrub why u trolling? what free game? Man. You pay for service and you demand. Doesn’t matter if you play retail or classic. At the end, its business. I really don’t get ppl who just want to be like sheep and attacking everyone who is demanding their rights as a customer!
Classic servers were created only because Blizzard realised they actually can make a money from it, but they didn’t expect how many customers really want to play in classic. Hence all the issues.
Regarding OP. I fully agree. Blizz should add extra time to everyone due the issues with the launch.

agreed. If it is free, then it should not require an active subscription. If someone makes you pay for a service even in a roundabout way, it is paid in the end, not free. so stop trolling. This sht is not my fault since I’m only paying and want to play what I pay for.
Unfortunately private servers are not the real vanilla experience. I have already seen one person who streams his gameplay saying he went back to private server as classic was to hard.
Laughing at the people who clearly have no friends saying “Just move bro”.
Yeah brb convincing my entire guild to ditch their progress and roll on a new server, which will also inevitably get queues.
Huehuehue
You people are drones and need to understand that Blizzard aren’t your friends, they don’t need you to defend them here. They messed up and as a consumer it is in your interest to demand better from them.
I said many months ago… Mark my words, the numbers will go into the millions during the launch phase… People told me i’m stupid, told me to ‘gtfo’, told me i didn’t have a clue. I’d like to see their faces now…
Another thing i predicted months ago on the forum, again something people called me stupid for. Told me i had no clue, told me to ‘gtfo’.
I also told people from when the Classic forum first launched that PServers are not an accurate representation of the original game. Again… ‘idiot’ ‘gtfo’ ‘you’re clueless’ etc.
Ah… I can already smell their salty Pserver tears and it makes me so very happy!
Well… I don’t know what to say man. A few of my friends have been playing on Pservers almost religiously and they’ve been playing on LH and Nost.
They say that Classic is a step up and much harder.
The main reasons being that AP/SP is more or less spot on in Classic.
Abilities work properly in Classic.
And the big one which everyone should know about by now, which is the boss abilities on said Pservers that either doesn’t trigger, or does no damage at all.
Thanks for the insult.
First of all, you need to understand that Blizzard are developers.
Second, this has got nothing to do with defending them, but trying to make you angry people understand that you were warned way ahead of release about how much of an impact a full server would have on queue times and server stability unless people made new characters on the new servers.
Sure, they may have underestimated the power of nostalgia and popularity of the original game, but there’s no reason act like a bunch of angry, children because of it. If you’re going to demand stuff, at least do it in a mature fashion.
