What server did you guys pick for this? I'm assuming a pvp server?

The reason is because Blizzard is telling people Herod as it stand right now will have queues in excess of 10k. Meaning you might have to wait hours before getting into the game. |

Blizzard adding 4 more servers on the 26th after they just added more a couple days ago.
Now they are saying that servers are getting so full that the amount of people might exceed the limits of the queue and it's possible you wont even be put in one. I would love to compare the launch numbers of classic vs their next expansion. |

I would be shocked if it wasnt closer to like 3 million. It's certainly going to die down and I would imagine more than half of that number doesnt even make it to purchasing the level 40 mount Last edited by jd1020; 08-23-2019 at 11:52 AM.. |

WoW made MMORPG's mainstream, partly by making it more desirable to play than an Everquest by making it less of a grind. |

39 classic servers..... as it stand right now and doesn’t count the influx that will happen at least at start.
Let’s say at least 15k per server, that puts population at 500k plus already |

Is it really Vanilla if you aren't in a 500 person queue for an hour?

My first character was a gnome on day 1 and I remember a bunch of world server crashes and a ton of lag because of all the people in Dun Morogh and trying to tag that one troll mob in the cave before the other 50 people sitting there doing the same thing. I loved every second of it though. That shit was crazy. And then that first moment I walked up the long windy ramp to the gates of Ironforge I just felt so ****ing small. The whole immersion with feeling like you are actually playing in a massive world has been lost since then. Now everything has a portal to instantly travel where ever you want to go and the addition of flying mounts ruined pretty much everything about the sense of adventure because you just fly over it all to get to your quest and then fly back over it again to turn it in. |
