Great to see blizzard working so swiftly to resolve this mess. Hope it has the intended effect as soon as possible

I dont see the ‘S’ word in there at all though

[Merlinda-deathwing]

sounds promising “hotfixes being deployed now” sooooo instant queue?

[Vandeleur-argent-dawn (Vandeleur)]

Yep they gonna get you all on the servers, ram you in like sardines and get rid of the queues. But then you gonna lag like a good 'un and Hogger will have 25000 people camping him.

But then I can still farm some boar a*ses for XP

Also this:

Maximum Realm Capacity Increased – 28 August

With hotfixes that we are currently deploying to all WoW Classic realms, we are substantially increasing the number of players that can be simultaneously logged in and playing. We expect this to result in smaller queues for realms that have large queues, and some realms should no longer have queues at all. We will closely monitor performance and stability throughout this process. Thank you very much.
