Realm is full

Why is there a queue for my realm? Blizzard communicated in April that it wouldn’t become a problem.
Now I’m sat here in 2024 and the game is asking me to wait for almost 30 minutes in order to play.

Where did Blizzard announce queues wouldn’t be a problem in April?

Well that’s a good healthy realm. Atleast it’s not the excruciatingly painful 6 hours at Classic HC and SOD back then :smiley:

Oh the infamous Saneko in my thread, what an honour. :slight_smile:

Announcement you must’ve missed: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/free-character-transfers-–-wrath-of-the-lich-king-classic/1827305

Referring to “Classic HC and SOD back then” to imply it “could be worse”? That is such a good faith argument, thank you. :grinning:

I’m not sure why I’m infamous, but I should be known around these parts as I’ve been MVP for a very long time yes :smiley:

It doesn’t say there won’t be any queues, or any expected problems by the blues. The below is the EU one as the above is the US one.

It does say it will “hold a far higher number of players than was previously possible” with realm queues at 30 minutes, this seems to match expectations.
