World of Warcraft: Classic

So....can they get away with charging a sub to a game that you cant play? I'm sure the answer is yes. I'm just salty.

As their lawyer, I'd argue you can play BfA without a queue, but with an uneasy feeling. What if the judge is looking at a classic queue right now? Who would want to be the first lawyer to be disciplined with the death penalty for contempt of court?

Good way to avoid AFK is to have an auto clicker search the AH once a minute.

Lv13 now, I'm kinda in the pack so lots of competition but I'm getting all the mobs I want mostly.

Experience is very classic lol

Judge logs in before jury duty starts, and 8 hours later gets home and gets in queue

he has no idea the evil that he is working to uphold in this world

Petition to rename this thread Queue Simulator 2019. You log in to wait in a queue for 4+ hours just to get to queue up in line to shank a quest NPC.

Well I can pay for game time now, sold off my options at +83% this morning for gain of almost $71k. Bought back again to ride up as the announcements on numbers come out. Thanks Classic WoW!

You should have sold Activision Stock, they got a big bump.

The team really really wants to avoid having to offer transfers or merging Classic realms later.

They should have just used a masked form of real phasing. Wanna log on to Whitemane? you log into Whitemane on your character select screen, but on the backend Whitemane is actually Whitemanes 1-10 with a shared character list, chat channels, and auction house, like a battlegroup on live. a guy in WM 5 gets invited into a group in whitemane 7? phases him over to 7. As hype population shrinks, IF it even shrinks, they could shift everyone to 5 whitemanes or 1 whitemane, shrug, it'd be transparent. They could even optimize it with shifting members of a guild onto the same server-phase by default. Zero-queues and high population. >;p

You've just described the layering tech they are using RIGHT NOW.

I've not seen that anywhere but I've seen multiple posts that it is not being implemented to its full capacity.

It's just that it is not an automatic system. They decide how many layers there are. And they decided they wouldn't allow more layers than X (for whatever X they picked) because if they do, thet will not be able to drop to a single layer ever since the population of the server will remain "too large". So they're betting about the player drop rate to cap their servers.

Layering definitely works. I played levels 3-12 in Durotar and Barrens last night after a 3k 30 min queue. Saw like 5 players all evening.

Theres definitely something broken with their queue lol

Took me 3 hours to get in from a 8k queues even though Blizzard said it would only take 90 minutes.

Is Faerlina the streamer server or something?

Yeah it may work too well? I don't know but Teldrassil felt kind of abandoned. I couldn't find any tailors to make linen bags over the course of 2 hours of "High" population and there was just almost no chat going on in general. It did not feel like an exciting launch period or anything. I dunno what I want or what the solution is, but it's detracting from the classic feel for me, big time. Maybe it gets better once I get off of this island..?.. I hope.

Yep, that server is AIDS.

I think there are some popular global chat channels. Not sure if you were in them or not. Not sure if this is the case, but it could be what the "kids" are doing these days.

Uhhh that’s what I did?

I'm not sure how I feel about Classic.

I got to level 11 and the game just came to a screeching halt. This was fun 14 years ago because the alternative mmos were EQ GoD or EQ2 (to me) so WoW was a breath of fresh air.

Also I'm having a hard time convincing myself to put time in to Classic when I know it will never get any new content past Naxx and I really dont have the patience to do 40 man raiding.

The nostalgia is nice tho. Seeing some pre-Cata zones is cool.

This will be the resounding thought within a week for 90% of the folks playing this. I’d be surprised if over half of the people in this thread make it past level 30.

I wonder if Classic would've done as well if Blizzard had never touched the original zones? I feel that Blizzard fucked-up massively with Cata.
