Ah, they must have done this for Moon Guard as well. I just logged out after finally getting on a few hours ago, and I immediately logged back in to see the queue, but there was none.

Yep they announced the additional population test was successful so all realms getting boosted. Of course for some servers its still a bandaid especially as people get off work
 
i'm not currently subscribed but i'm in a medium populated server in eu. should i get in and play without any issues?

might just wait another few days or so until everything calms down.

still trying to figure this game out. i feel so lost and clueless. this is my first expansion. well i bought MoP but wasn't there when it launched. only started playing a few months ago.

On the server browser there should only be queue if it is listed as locked.

No reason to deal with headaches from WoW right now. I'd give it a week or two. Preferably two.
 
I got lucky and managed to get in this morning right after server maintenance - no queue. Played for about an hour. When I came back around 12:30, the queue was at 5500. I've been in queue now for 4 1/2 hours and it just ticked under 2k.

Goddamn, lol.
 
Draenor is fucking beautiful after MoP they stepped it up even more. Also the music a lot of cool stuff from TBC and Eastern Plaguelands/Wotlk woven in with the dark and fel energy being done in the end with ner'zhul yeah it feels good to be 'home' again in a alternative universe. Also Akama is boss he was that in TBC but seeing him before the corruption he is very cool.

Shadowmoon Valley.

Just keep doing the quests you see after getting off the boat. It's not that much. They pretty much throw you in to the garrison as soon as you're off the boat.
I didn't exactly go on a boat yet, just went through the dark portal with a freshly boosted chatacter

Speaking of, is there a GAF guild?


I picked mining and skinning and realized I can mine anything no matter my mining level is that normal?

If you logged out and right back in you don't have to deal with a queue, that's your grace period.
 
everytime a new WoW xpac comes out I'm so tempted to start up again, but with school and work it's a hard sell because I know how much of a time sink it is with daily heroics, daily quests, weekly raids... I find it hard to make time for any other games when playing WoW

I played BC and Wrath but fizzled out in Cata once I hit 85, do I need to purchase Pandaria in order to play Draenor?

Dunno about a GAF guild. Check the community thread.

The mining thing means you can skill up on any node but you won't get the actual proper resource unless the skill level is high enough. Was introduced in MoP
 
Blizzard said:
1:00 a.m. CET

All North American and Oceanic realms have now had their population caps increased. We are continuing to monitor realm stability, and plan to begin testing the increase on European realms soon. In addition, we’re making progress towards correcting an issue that would occasionally cause players to get stuck on flight paths when flying to their Garrison. Our next update will occur in roughly one hour.

After the dark portal you'll go in to the starting zone. Like an hour into quests on there you'll get on a boat to leave. So just keep questing and you'll make it.
 
God damn, I was done for today but decided to check something later and hit the queue. ;_;

Currently 97, I think SMV is still my favorite zone so far. I hope Nagrand won't disappoint me. :< (was my favorite one in TBC)
 
Looking through the server updates on the WoW forum from the CS crew makes me cringe. I do not envy them. They've almost updated hourly for a full 24 hours.

They update with the exact same message and it is all meaningless, there is practically zero difference between Thursday/Friday/Saturday night.

Grats, spend 5+ hours in queue.
 
I guess i am on a fairly vacant server because the highest i've seen a queue is 700. And most of my guild is already 100.

I've put in a full day today and no issues. Seems like normal wow expansion for our side
 
Man, I'm gonna have to install some remote access software on my computer so I can queue before I leave from work. That way I can play when I get home.

You're right.

The only way to combat this is the personal foresight of creating a character on a realm that has a completely different timezone.

Rest assured, it isn't a normal expansion experience. If I hadn't already purchased it I would seriously consider canceling my account.

It seems like a normal expansion experience to me since it is the weekend after launch. The queues always sprung up even after big patch updates back in the old days. The population caps have been reset and given a boost, there are people screaming through to 100 on lower pop servers, and anyone sitting in a queue has to deal with the fact that they knowingly rolled on a high pop server.

The perfect storm scenario of having an expansion give a free boost to 90 on a character with no new race/class only makes it even more fun for the English. The fear of AFK for those already in the realm doesn't help either.

It's a shame Blizzard didn't "borrow" the server overload systems that were put in place for Guild Wars 2.

Joining a high pop server when the last 'big queeus' were 2000s at the absolute highest isn't really the same as being stuck on said high pop servers then the queues are in the 6000s.
 
It has been a longtime for long queue's and looks like Draenor puts a lot of people back in swing it fucking sucks yes i understand it but i can say MoP wasn't super smooth also i had the experience when going on the gunship from the alliance went off to pandaria same thing happend stuck on that ship because everyone want to the same thing. It happens and i there working on it hey at least there transparent what there doing every hour. They will give us gametime just wait.

Overall i have a good experience with the expansion the questing is damn fun and draenor is beautiful.
