Insane que times

[TheBigBB]

I'm getting a queue, but I'm sure Blizzard will handle it if it continues. I'm just happy that the server's very stable and lag-free once I'm in. Better to wait an hour for a stable server than have no one playing.

After watching my wait times go UP for half an hour, still showing over an hour to get in, I gave up, and created five new characters on the new server. {Fizz????) I rolled them Horde, as all my other toons are Alliance, just for something different. Having NO gold, and no bags is nasty, but the server was really smooth. Of course, leveling was slow, and there were maybe a hundred other players doing the same thing. Stand in line to wait for a quest mob to spawn type of thing! Still, it beat staring at a motionless countdown/countUP screen

The actual "wait time" indicator is just an estimate based off the current rate of how fast people are logging off multiplied by how many are in front of you. This will shift the time estimate dramatically the longer the line is. Technically, your wait could never actually go up, as you're always moving closer to the front of the line.

The Queue on our server didn't start until peak playing time. It was probably safe to assume that most people wouldn't be logging out any time soon.

after reading these horror stories ... I guess I'll keep quiet.
