People have actually started to form ques for the scorpion boss in durotar by standing in line. This is the most insane shit i've ever seen lol. Classic already changing the social rules.
I played when burning crusade came out and this happened for all the bloodelf starting zone quests that involved killing a single guy.
How many people have skipped the line so far?

My brother has an 800 minute queue getting into Whitemane LOL

My position is around 1900 now. It's been a bit over 3 hours since Herod crashed and I started to queue again.
Kind of expected this at least. I just hope I can at least get on for a bit tonight.

I got to play a couple hours on Bigglesworth before work... it was super crowded but fun. In the starting area every individual mob spawn was camped.
|
Yeah I got through the queue over an hour ago now but haven't made it past world server is down yet lol.

Many people did, but they got shunned & /spit on.

huhu queues are crazy, they had to add a FR pvp server but it's gotten on huge queue in less than 24h so they added another one yet. First one was very laggy when I got on it. I guess things will take some few days to stabilize a bit. FR pvp server #1 is on over 5 hours queue and #2 1h30 right now huhu

Atm 9X waiting time on the second, former low pop, german pvp server :D.
This somehow reminds me of D3 
|
I thought I'd be good on the rp-pvp realm, easy login this morning, but now it's 90min queue.
|
So how long before this becomes playable, I wonder? I'm holding out for now, will try when the servers aren't a total mess and you can actually tag a mob.
also surely at some point it's better to just go grinding in a place far away from quest mobs than queuing for 1 quest mob? I don't think the quests later in the zone have prereqs in the first area (as far as I remember).
|
The game has been fully playable for me since.... 3 hours after launch until now.
|
Yeah once youre past the queue its running decently now. Had no problems, but i still quit after making it to lvl 6. Too boring, especially if you dont have a set goal.

I've done my share of running through classic quests(got partway through loremaster in WOTLK), but the scary amount of time that I put into the game in the year that I played worries me now that I'm a decade and a bit further into life, and putting 4-8 hours a day into a video game just isn't in the cards any more.
Still super tempted to do it for nostalgia reasons though.

After a couple hours on Nethergarde it actually became very playable - only real issues that i had was the 1 hour level 1-5 time because of not being able to tag anything without having some instant-cast classes in your group. Lots of lairs kicked in, no queues on launch night.
I went to bed for like 12 hours and now that we're into day 2 peak times we're seeing queues of up to 7 hours on the big realms but only 20 mins on nethergarde which is totally fine.
Because of the lairing system being server-wide you'd usually get 90% of your lair filled with dudes in the starting zone so main cities and the 10+ zones were actually ghost towns when i logged off. They're probably stuffed with players by now.

well, i'm still in queue and it now says 8 mins for 6500 people, it used to be 90 minutes for 13k... I somehow doubt the 8 mins are true.
yeah... 77 min again :D

They've gone from 2 english-pvp realms to 13 and are still adding more lol :D
|
German went from 2 to 5 iirc...
Seems like they were a little bit unaware of how big this is gonna be... (and how much people hate what they made out of wow over the years...)

They were conservative but even then, too much margin for error i think. Distribution would have been much better if we started with 30% of the realms instead of 15%
