man I guess the WOW server process really does not scale since even after all this time there are still massive queues. Is Illidan unique in these super long queues? Are all the older realms showing this?


I have never seen a queue like this - this early in the day.

Illidan currently has the second highest queue behind Warsong.

We are offering free transfers from both of these realms at this time: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=14133099279&sid=1

Q u o t e:
I was wondering about Burning blade since the queue is about the same, Anyone heard of free transfers off it?

Free transfers from Burning Blade are available right now.

Q u o t e:
What about DRAENOR!!! We have a queue starting a 2pm and progressively getting worse by the time it hits raid time (upwards of 600+) when will we get free transfers?!

Transfers from Draenor and a number of other PVE realms will be made available shortly.

Uh huh...Because transferring from a high population server to a slightly lower population server will magically solve the problem?

Stop treating your players like this, you are making incredible sums of money off of us, your game is one of the most popular in the entire WORLD, and you're telling people to jump from a high queue server to a...well, slightly lesser queued server?

The destination realms are low population and have no queues, which is why we're allowing transfers to them. It's certainly not going to "solve the problem" as you put it, but having a select number of players move from the highest-population realms to the lowest-population realms is certainly a start.

Q u o t e:
Where does Kel'Thuzad rank on the queue scale? We have to be way up there, we see 1300+ every night.

It's in the top five for highest queue right now.

What about Shattered Hand? We generally see 300-600 a night.
