Whats up with server queue time?

Hey,

Just came home for a stressful workday, wanted to play some WoW classic which I pay 15 euros a month for and got faced with a +40 min queue time to even log in. If this is going to be a thing then I might as well subscribe, because thats the amount of time that I have to play per day nowadays.

Queuing just to log in was never a part of the deal, was it?

Its been more than 2 weeks since release so I think its safe to say its time to up the servers a bit…

Ok, you seem to have no idea what the situation is right now. First of all the server caps were already increased. Secondly the high pop server have ques of up to 4 hours every single day. You are lucky with 40 mins tbh. Also maybe go to a lower pop server there are plenty of them available. Maybe you even got a free transfer option tomorrow. Check the latest Blizzard forum post!

What are you guys saying, i fail to understand your reasoning…
Are you justifying not being able to deliver the server capacity necessary to meet the number of people willing to pay and play on classic servers while there are literally empty servers on retail?
In my point of view, this is pure laziness and/or incompetence being displayed.
Or am I severely misunderstanding something?
Did Activision/Blizzard run out of money so they cannot provide for their own game and their subscribers anymore?
Please explain

They want to brag about how HUGE their queues are.

You are able to play the game though, they aren’t breaking any laws/ToS

You’re the one deciding to play on a FULL server.

There’s literally free transfer atm, use them?

The reason I joined this guild ^

waiting for 50 minutes already. And 54 more to go.

Lots of people have transfered to servers like Dragonfang to avoid queue times

Show me a server that is not classified as “FULL” and I will happily move my characters there (for free obviously), but when I created my characters there were no such options.
Furthermore, there still are no such options when I am checking the server list - so perhaps you can share a recommendation of servers without a login queue?

“You are able to play the game though” - this is such a strange way of reasoning.
For any service that I pay 15 euros per month to use, I expect immediate access whenever I want to - and honestly, I fail to see why you people are defending anything less than that.
Do you also wait 1 hour before you can use your internet connection?
Justify why you think that it is reasonable that you have to wait for something that you already paid for (in advance!)?

Dragonfang for example. even at primetime, no queue

Uh, there’s literally most of the servers now aside from the big 3-4?

Avoid Shazz/Golemagg/Firemaw(I think?)

And pretty much zero queue time.

Okay point taken - you guys enjoy paying for queue time.
Nothing more to discuss here.

I don’t even have a queue time on my realm…

IF I do, it’s for like 5 minutes only.

You’re just somebody that just wants to stick on the top 3-4 FULL realms, right?

Like I said, I only see full queue times on any and every server that I look at.
I dont know if the difference is that you log in around 6 in the morning and stay logged in during the day, or if I always try to log in during the peak times…
All I know is that today around 21:00 I could not find a server that did not mean queuing for more than 40+ minutes.

Are you even looking further than the few full ones…?

Nonsence. I´m the one decided to play on LOW pop (medium max) server but from yday it´s full with queue. It was not my choice. I would like more medium pop PvE servers rather than few full with queue. Why should I transfer.

Not sure what is worse OP your ignorance or entitlement.

What queues were exactly full?

At 6pm, only the big 4 were full for me?

There are free transfers, use them.
