I'm surprised that an engineer wouldn't understand the effect of not having a queue

Downloaded the 1.12 client, and got Elysium server going to try out a few things. Rolled up each of the 4 classes I was considering, and will probably roll up more just try them out.
Priest - Pretty straight forward, but was fun multi-dotting with SW
and then just popping a heal on myself to stay alive and watching them all fall over. This probably won't be very viable or even able to do it on Classic due to massive population. Having heals though was pretty awesome to use as a tool to level faster. Mana management was easy and maybe drank 1 time?
Mage - The most boring of the ones I've tried so far, despite their power later on. No "tricks" to play, just Frostbolt, Fireball, Fireball, drink. Spells hit hard though, and shit dies quick. Just little things, but it was nice starting off with a staff that could melee for 5 damage.
Warlock - Was nice getting Immolate at level 2 to mix things up. Instant cast SW from Priests is way cooler though. Having the Imp helps out a lot of course, and then getting Corruption is OP. Once Voidwalker kicks in, and you get Drain Life for a little bit of healing, along with healthstones, I think Warlocks just will have so many tools at their disposal it'll be fun.
Hunter - Just like mage, it was nice starting with a 5 damage hitter Axe. Went Tauren, but then read up on things and would go Troll if I was actually going Hunter due to racials. Dead zone sucks ass, and Raptor Strike is super weak. No surprise there. Once you have a pet, and you can just range everything down that's where Hunter obviously shines and is the mega super awesome leveler everyone knows. Of the ones I tried, Hunter was the only one that I felt like it was too early to tell.

I feel like you didn't get high enough to fully justify your thoughts. I feel like classes don't open up until 15

Completely agree. Some classes don't open up until much later than even 15. Druid for instance doesn't have all its forms, Priest doesn't have shadow form, etc. Many talents and abilities change classes quite a bit and can even change the overall feel of the class.

I don't disagree with you or misery, but I was trying to not make end game statements or final statements on the class. I guess I did a little, but I kept my low level in mind. I don't feel like I'm really any closer to picking a class, which is unfortunate. Lol
im pretty sure this time around they will be cracking down hard on that, and you seem to think i botted my way through classic, i did that at the end when i had BiS and nothing else to do so botting and getting an alt lvld while i farmed or did stuff on my warlock or whatever toon it was ok with me since leveling in vanilla is the worst and yeah i needed anherb/alch bot so i did what i did
you dont see the pros of having a bot farm mats for you, while you concentrate on gearing your main toon? idk what to tell you bud i was already 60 and playing for years, you act like its something i did during release, nah i did that shit when i came back periodically and had to catch up

If you've got a server farm that can handle 10mil active users, the only bottle neck is the login servers. With layering, you're splitting utilization across a server farm, rather than having a single unit handle all of the traffic (and even then, some fancy hardware and code can attenuate this, too). Database lag can be equally distributed across multiple mirrored database farms.
We use backend queues for several things on server farms not intended for mass, continuous utilization. e.g. You push out a product promotion and expect several thousands of users to place orders at the same time, the order system and manufacturing facilities can only handle so much, so they're queued up. Doesn't stop users from placing orders.
Explain to me how a queue benefits the end user here, when tech is available to circumvent and balance active utilization.

Oh man, it's like an actual rpg, where the class at an early stage doesn't represent its capability or funfactor long term. Jesus christ, you're a goddamn genius.Downloaded the 1.12 client, and got Elysium server going to try out a few things. Rolled up each of the 4 classes I was considering, and will probably roll up more just try them out.

oh warrior definitely was the huge fucking pain right on level 5 already that I remember. Especially since some clown at Blizzard decided back then to put a 2h AXE on the final newbie Quest for Taurens and I still had to use my level 0 scrub hammer in Bloodhoof Village.
If servers are really *this* full, it's definitely a blessing and a curse. regarding the whole ever-repeating dungeon finder and LFD discussion, those tools aren't even that convenient when there's so many players around that it doesn't take 30 minutes to fill up a group.
On the other hand, good luck with Arcane Crystals and those rare flowers when you have 30 people competing with you at any time.

At low levels you best learn stutter step, it comes up later in endgame content. Install a shot timer for hunters like Aviana/YaHT

10k people is "massively overpopulated".
There are over 100k subscribers to the classicwow subreddit, but they don't even have ten servers
