Rumors say that they have lowered the cap of players allowed in certain servers due to crashes... I havent seen a blue post but 1400 in queue seems weird when it usualy reached 600 on sunday at 19:00.. Even with a patch im realy in doubt!
This is my guess as well. I know for a positive 100% sure fact they have in the past. I also know that before TBC they did all the hardware upgrades then slowly raised the population limits.

So, because of the software instability issues, they have lowered the population cap, hopefully temporarily, until they can fix everything.

I know this sucks now. But, I would rather go through all this now as opposed to after we get the expansion. TBC was crowded, but fairly smooth. If they fix everything, I have faith they will, WotLK will be smooth as well.
