There's a Normal and PVP realm for both east and west coast US coming up, but only like 5 hours before the game is live. There probably won't be enough time to assess how populated they will be until it's live.

I would give it a month, many people will jump ship fast once the hype is over.

I’m positive there will be more players on classic than current expansion within a month
|
Is it today at 00.00? Or 00.00 going into Aug 28th?

Yeah there are a couple of times when the struggle is real to level up.

Naa i doubt it, Twitch have those paid things for streamers bounties? Where the offer money to pay a game, WoW classic is going to be one of them. After Method world first race to 60 and kill Onyxia etc happens it will be dying down. Then when the hype is dying down Blizzcon will be announced alongside a new expansion for live as well as the final raid information, thus that will get people back.
I do think it will be successful but i don't think it will out do live at all. Blizzard won't care either anyway, a subscriber to them is a subscriber!

smh smh, US advantage as usual on race to worlds first with a nice casual 3pm pdt release time! (lol joke) Would be so sick having a 3pm live time though damn!

but you login at 12 and queue and get up after a good nights sleep and check queue, eat breakfast, read the news, walk the dog, check queue, prepare lunch, see if you got in yet.

The hype is real, I am itching to participate in Barrens chat

The queues will be insane for sure. If i'm on a populated server i'l be getting a lot of game time in at 4 in the morning
|
How soon should we expect to try and get in a queue? My friends and I are going with Blaumeux or whatever the lower pop server is but I mean, should I try to log on more than an hour out lol
Edit: and isn't there a risk that once you get in if you idle the character select you get kicked back out?
|
The smart Thing to do is don't play at all on at least day 1, probably better day 1-3  .
Lower pop server won't mean shit if entire guilds/friendsgroups are all sitting in a queue for Server XYZ and just jump over to the one with lower pop because they are tired of waiting.

Yeah they have a disconnect timer on there which is relatively short. I'm not sure how you can pause/reset it

They forgot to raise the character creation limit on EU so it was a bit awkward to grab names on the new servers. We couldn't create more than 3 and the servers where i have some of those characters are refusing to load so i can't delete them or make more atm
edit: Came up now, 25 mins late

My understanding is 30 min time-out at character selection screen. So gotta login at 2:35 PST to not timeout.

Just called bfa raid a bit early to log in classic, 3k 4k 6k 8k 10k 19k queues (still 1hr before it opens) climbing fast. Here we go bois and grills :D
Mograine (one of the new PVP servers) has exploded to Full as well after being added 5hrs ago. The other three new PVP servers and the new PVE server still have room if EU-English are willing to move to them.

WoW passed Fortnite on google trends for the first time in years (since fortnite's ascension), the EU bnet shop is currently down and WoW is #1 by a mile on Twitch with 600k live viewers, all numbers still rising sharply during launch countdown. Looks like a good night (:
