EPTA little off topic, i love the addon Carbonite (http://www.carboniteaddon.com/) but apparently the author is not planning to "update" to classic, anyone knows a set of addons and/or something that functions that way for classic?
Thx.

This might have some you are looking for. Azeroth Auto Pilot is very good and helps leveling if you forgot a lot of wow classic or just want to level a bit quicker and more effeciently. | ||

Some waited a few days and rolled on Sulfurus on Saturday - The other guys who were between 20-30 on their characters on those servers (and this was a significant investment) ended up rerolling to Sulfurus - Naturally the second time around they were almost twice their original pace. I wasnt going to play before the weekend and doing my retail stuff anyway. It was a great decision barely any queues and the population is high enough that it will maintain itself when the population drops. I gave it a very good go. Level 20 now and its been fine. I had to give it an honest try, but Ive decided I much prefer retail. Problem is the people I play with (many didnt do vanilla or barely played it) are so excited for it and its so new for them that I dont have much choice if I want to play with the people I play with. So I will probably be playing that over Retail during "free time" which there is alot of since I (like many other playing alot more classic) have hit the raid breakpoints they need to for their characters. I have to say though as expected the game is so slow and so mechanically unchallenging (is that a word?) that it feels a bit stale at times, were constantly doing dumb shit on purpose to spice it up. I kinda treat it like playing a board gaming online and mostly use it as an excuse to hang out with guildies. Yep, I gave it an honest try as well and I was actually somewhat excited at first. To be fair I am still enjoying classic since I never got to really enjoy the 1-60 zones when I leveled at the start of BFA, but at the end of the day M+ and mythic raiding is what interests me so retail really is the better place for me. I'll probably get to 60 and clear the raids with my friends before I quit at least. | ||

Also, forgot how to make cast sequence macros. Off the top of my head it goes something like this: #showtooltip /castsequence reset=3 windfury totem, strength of earth totem, mana spring totem | ||

I'd consider BFA to have a lot of real improvements that really do matter to me but then it's ruined by some core issues like sharding, consistently awful world server performance, economy being irrelevant & controlled by boost mafia, rushed and half finished development/bugs which can take multiple years to temporarily fix, awful CS, heavy timegating (spending 1 hour at 8am and 1hr at 8pm is often worth way more than spending 2 hours at one time) and so on which just make it a pretty shit experience overall. Modern blizzard would probably never be willing to take the steps required to fix these things, in many cases they're considered to be a feature that appeal to other players (just not to me) rather than a fault. Kinda sad that the solution to half of a great game is to just delete all development for the last 13 years but it is what it is, i've been having a lot more fun than i expected on Classic. I'm not really sure where to go from here, would love TBC and Wrath servers eventually for sure. Without new content the serious lifespan is only maybe a year or two. Classic+ sounds great but there are serious downsides to the oldschool runescape approach (years of somewhat flawed/biased development leaves players wanting an "old oldschool runescape" which no longer exists since it's been patched over) | ||

5 going to current servers 1:1 to even out populations between low and high pop realms 4 of the busiest pvp realms will pair off for transfers into two new pvp servers, bringing the english-pvp total to 17 (up from 2 at name reservation, LOL). Those new servers will have new character creations locked for a day so that characters transferring onto them will have first pick of names, although there'll still be conflicts since we're talking about merging partial player pools from two of the largest servers that WoW has ever seen https://www.wowhead.com/bluetracker?topic=81745®ion=eu | ||

I am not transferring to a brand new server. I'll take a 5 hour queue over a dead server any day of the week. | ||

You're free to take those queues as much as you want, any kind of transfer is obviously not aimed at the people who wanna play on the most full server possible | ||

In classic in particular, a thicc server is helpful. If you wanna run dungeons, you need a healthy population. I've been on low pop servers and you basically just can't do certain dungeons. I'd be happy to play on a "high" pop server, but low pop would be less than ideal. But with any luck, lots of people move off of whitemane and the queue ends up manageable. | ||

15 of those servers were not there when people originally chose servers, yet most of them have experienced queues and some of the most populated realms of all time are among them. | ||

Blizz stated that low pop realms in classic are as many people as a full server from vanilla, if not slightly more. Low pop is not many times more than the full vanilla servers, but the full/high pop classic servers are. | ||

Layers being too empty isn't a problem as they're trivial to merge. The main issue with layer pop is having people be spread out since it's server wide (you might have 200 people in the level 1-5 zone and 2 in the capital city for example, whereas BFA sharding will make it so that you see 40 in both) Every realm right now has Layers AFAIK, my realm is one of the "lower pop" ones and we still have a dozen layers and have hit queues a few times. | ||

When I had to reduce my "availability" for something around 1 hour per day at 21:30, the 400 minutes queues were not manageable. Was either rerolling or not playing at all. So I rerolled in Stonespine and the maximum Queue I experienced was 10 minutes. I'm still lvl 13 though  | ||
