Honestly I do suggest sitting this one out until it has blown over if you’re worried about having to reroll.
If not just stay with one of the lesser populated realms there is equally high chance that we will get transfers as there is for a medium pop realm to die
Fair enough, think ill stick it out and stay on Ashbringer

Blizzard stated that medium pop in 2019 is still way highter than Full/locked realm back in vanilla. Medium is an ideal population
Thanks for the extra servers, Blizzard.
It’s a tricky one: I started on Shazzrah, but the queues were terrible. I could not get to my characters. Then I tried Mograine, but again the queues were terrible. Now I’m on Stonespine, and that’s started to get a lot fuller. I don’t mind a queue time of around 15 mins or a bit more. But when the queue time hits hours, there is a problem!

If almost every server have queue then 2 servers are not enough to fix this mess… but many people wont reroll to a new servers because now they are at a high level or they are at a specific server with their irl friends.
so open up transfers it will help alot
I started on Firemaw because when I was reserving character names Firemaw was the “New” realm where Blizzard told us to go. When new realms started popping up, I was following their population, seeing how Mograine reached queues minutes after it was launched. Other realms that followed had the same fate.
Because of that I felt like queuing from lunch is still better than hopping on a realm that might have a 10k queue tomorrow. I have an 8lvl char on Firemaw for playing with my brother and a 16lvl char for playing alone, so I’m not going anywhere at this point. At least not without free transfers. You could say “but these are just 8 and 16” and I would answer with “yes, and I waited 10 hours every day to have a chance to play with them and with my brother, so duck off”.

Good morning all,
Too late the damage it’s done.
You started with too few servers, and i by myself was expecting this
This way you gonna have later issues with some low pop servers and dysfunctional others .
I and my friends will not change again.
ZT doesn’t have long queues. Besides launch day where I got a 1h40 queue, I got 1 hour tops since then.

I’d rather play on another RP-PvP realm than wait 1 hour every time I want to play
Could you, like, please open them NOW instead? Gehennas is already at 8k+ queue lol. I’ll never get to play this weekend xD
How many players is “Low” and how many is “Medium” and how many is “High” ?
Blizzard is really in a pickle here, and I can’t claim to have the solution.
On the one hand, I plan to reroll on one of the new realms for a fresh start and I’d be absolutely incensed if the devs decided to allow free migrations and all of a sudden players 30 levels above the curve start showing up.
On the other hand, most people got to play and make some progress despite the queues, so I can understand why someone would be just as incensed if they had to abandon that progress in order to play without 6 hours queues.
Thats why they should make 1 of these servers for transfers ONLY and the other Fresh Start ONLY

They are opening at 5pm as it’s the end of the week and friday evening will be peak time.
Open up new realms just as everyone comes online to play, so there are available realms when people log in.
I am sure glad I have better things to do on a Friday night than play videogames LOL. Queues will be fun! Good luck!
Wrong approach.
Just open ONE spanish PVP server, allow FREE migration from any high+ realm to any medium- realm. Problem solved.
Is it that difficult? can’t you just do things right for once, blizzard?

By the end of this weekend all 3 of them will be full including Netherguard
Unless they answer this question, I will not even CONSIDER moving. Answers like “it’s more than it was before” mean nothing.
Why would you schedule this when everyone is still at work? Please try and think these things through a little more.
5pm server time is time people start getting home from work. Obvious if you are in a different time zone maybe not. But Friday early evening is home time for work for most people.
