It was like this with BC, as well. More people logging on. People who haven't played in ages are logging back on to check out the expansion pack. Transfer servers open up, their economies suck for ages, and then they balance out as well. Everything boils down to login-as-usual after a few months, IIRC.
This for sure. They did it for TBC. They don't want too many people in one spot. Anyone with WoTLK can hop a boat or blimp and go to NR. If you wait an hour you are less likely to do this on your bank alt or on your level 63. I am sure there are lots of people coming back too. But with all the other issues recently with lag and server propblems. I would rather have a queue and a stable server then have loot lag and crashes.Quote:

I sort of feel better now. Now server, Vek'nilash, I never had a wait time even when BC came out and didn't have one when i fast started playing yesterday at around 4ish. But when i logged out and tried to come back in at 9pm there was a 5 minute wait... yea i know 5 minutes isn't as bad as 1 hour but when you never had to wait before it is a long time... it turned out to be 20 minute wait... that last minute took 10 minutes
I clicked to log in my 5 toons. 2-5 logged in right away, 1 got hit with being in #382 position... so that means 381 people clicked at the same time I did right? :p
I gave up on it after watching the wait time increase while my position decreased for half an hour. :thumbdown:
I remember back when I first started playing, it was common for people to log in to the queue and go watch a movie, the waits were so long.
Come everyone, join us on burning legion. I had 0 queue times all night Wednesday and all day thursday, and played a total of 14 hours or so and had 0 lag.
Beware of another new trick blizzard had for wrath release. I got the wonderful one toon not moving on everyone elses screen bug. Logged out only to find that logging back in instantly did not avoid waiting in queue. You used to have a min or two (5-10?) to relog in before being succeptable to queue times again. I then proceded to log my other 4 toons in every way i could thing of (even Alt+F4'd one) and it is not possible to relog in without waiting in that monster queue again!
If you think it was bad yesterday and bad today... tonight and this weekend will be the worse.
Luckily Madoran has never had a que time. Roll here! :_D
usually sunday night is drama, or busiest part of the weekend, hopefully that will stay the same at our server ;(
