39 classic servers..... as it stand right now and doesn’t count the influx that will happen at least at start.

Let’s say at least 15k per server, that puts population at 500k plus already

Let’s say that population is accurate, blizzard already made 8 million on Classic WoW

Is it really Vanilla if you aren't in a 500 person queue for an hour?

yeah, but i rather play how Everquest used to be during the up until about Planes of Power. Once GoD was "finished" it was alright. Alot of them brutal mechanics in game is what made it fun for me! I dont know how many times i didnt go to bed because i was on corpse runs (i was a necromancer) Sometimes it was a pain in the ass, i would just say **** sleep! lol I cant do that anymore, well i can, ill just be super tired! I just miss alot of that group interaction. it was fun!.

So, we have switched, still going to be playing Pagle, but now HORDE~

if anyone else is going that route PM me for a good time~

I dont remember being in a queue but I rolled on a medium pop server.

My first character was a gnome on day 1 and I remember a bunch of world server crashes and a ton of lag because of all the people in Dun Morogh and trying to tag that one troll mob in the cave before the other 50 people sitting there doing the same thing. I loved every second of it though. That shit was crazy. And then that first moment I walked up the long windy ramp to the gates of Ironforge I just felt so ****ing small.

The whole immersion with feeling like you are actually playing in a massive world has been lost since then. Now everything has a portal to instantly travel where ever you want to go and the addition of flying mounts ruined pretty much everything about the sense of adventure because you just fly over it all to get to your quest and then fly back over it again to turn it in.

mmo-champion has a poll taking info on server, faction, and language.

Pretty funny to me when looking at the results how all the pvp servers have a horde bias and the pve servers are heavily favoring alliance, considering how ****ing broken human racials were in the early days of WoW.

I just realized that I have to do The Green Hills of Stranglethorn quest again with no AH to bail me out.... I'm skipping it.

Scared of a little world pvp? Just have to get in and get out before everyone is level 60 and camping the zone for the arena trinket.

Not scared of PvP, just collecting all those pages and hoping the drops come out. I'm going to be tearing it up tonight as far as I can before I go to bed, maybe a good 7 - 8 hours depending on launch night overpopulation and crashes. Unfortunately my co-worker is out due to his child swallowing a battery, so I can't take time off so I have to make the best with what I got. I might burst out of the scene quick, but I'll be lucky to get to mid teens tonight and likely questing in Barrens before I go to bed. Hopefully get max level by this weekend since I have a four day one.

Got to the pc 3 min late and i was in a queue that said 34,000 lol no wow tonight for me! lol

I actually thought servers open tomorrow at 5 not today:rolleyes:

Been in queue since 7pm

So me and a couple CPer's who joined guild got in. It was ****ing wild. Got to lvl 11 last night before 2AM and logged in the Barrens.

I put TeamViewer on my home PC so I can RDP into my computer and join Queue. I suggest you do the same.

No joke, took me 5 hours waiting to get in last night, got to level 10 with my Druid and got to TB then logged out. I'll get in alot of time this weekend, I just hope the PvP doesn't set me back too much during leveling because of the Alliance blowhards will be looking to grief.

I'm not worried I got guys who are still going right now since launch (No lifers) who are all low 20's right now.

I cannot wait to pick a fight.

What server are you all rolling on? I made a toon on fairbanks, but looking at wowhead data, that looks like a fairly busy server.

If it were me I wouldn't want to be on a low pop server, assuming you have legit interest in playing for an extended period of time, because the chances for the player base to take a nose dive in a few weeks is probably really high.

Stalagg

We all rolling Pagle.. all your old dayz buddies. me, buck...


well me and buck and about 10 other dudes we know.

Welp, imma take the dive. Told myself i wasn't...but i am. As soon as i get home i'll install.

I take it none of you are playing on a west coast PvP server?

Also, are your addons working? I have a 110% custom UI that ive grown accustomed to and dont really want to change if i dont have to.

lots of addons will work, lots wont.

check out www.willitclassic.com

Hrmmm ok thanks. I'll just have to update all my shit, log in and see what works and what doesn't.

Gah i have to download the "Classic" versions of these addons. Mother shitter. That means i'll have to re-configure my UI. Mother **** you Vanilla.

might as well get it done. Retail is now dead.

Wife and I played last night as UD. It took us about 3hrs to get 5 levels thanks to the overcrowded starting quests and low spawn rate. My wife was complaining and i had to remind her, "Hey YOU wanted to play Classic...."

We left Skeram due to 10000+ queues and went to Sulfuras instead, at 3000+ queues. We don't mind if we have to wait a bit, but 3-5 hours is unacceptable for alot of people who just want to get off work, sit down, relax, and enjoy some WoW.

Dang. I jumped on today. Undead Lock on Pagle. Went fine. Took me about 45 minutes to re-sub, make my toon and get to level 5, grab proffs in Brill, d/l a quest-helper addon for shits and giggles.

If you dont have one, we have a guild. Includes a couple CPers and a lot of our gaming buddies. plus some other folks.

Casual guild, raids in NOV, weekend raids, people with lives and kids etc. HMU.

I'll make a toon on Pagle, and when the queues die down I'll join ya!

I am on Sulfuras, Alliance. Username is Cheezball.

****ing server my guild is on, has the most insane queue. lol but im already here, no turning back!

I tried taping my mouse keys down to try to stay logged in while I left the house...didn't work, I'm back in a 4-6 hour queue. Anything more than that and I'll risk a ban. :shake:

We may be adversaries then! :evil: Rynehart Orc Shammy

That sounds perfect. My playing time wildly varies. I'll be getting on tonight again.

There is a fishing script (or used to be) that maps keys and works independently of WoW. Undedectable as far as I know.

The first level 60 will probably come tomorrow and I'm chillin at 22. LMAO

Damn private server players been practicing for this moment for 13 years.

The whole cracked out feeling is coming back. All I can think about on my business trip is going back to my hotel and playing till midnight.

Honestly, trying to speed race to 60 in Classic sounds ****ing awful. No thanks.

My old Guild leader hit me up yesterday asking why i didnt make a toon with the guild on the server.

I made up some lame ass excuse, but the truth is because i don't wanna feel rushed, pressured, or feel the need to "keep up with the Jones'"

Still on Stalagg,

Haven’t had much playtime but I’m lvl 26, most of the guild is 30+ with couple 50s but I’m not racing. I’m for sure going to take at least month and a half.

One thing I noticed is that I am going to have to turn my spell effects graphics WAY down during dungeon runs. Not that my pc can't handle it but there is so much shit going on visually during fights that I get distracted.

Yeah I'm 36 atm and just got done in Desolace and about to move to the shit show that is Stranglethorn Vale. Max toon in my guild is 45 and doing Uldaman.

I'd love to just have played it all weekend but I had to get up and around and do some things and spend time with that pesky family I got.

im 27, i should be higher. I had my sisters kids this weekened it slowed me down big time. once i got kicked for being afk cause i had to make food for the kids and bam, 5 hour queue. lol just a bad weekened for me to try to level. so many people on Stalagg its insane. Think the guild i am in have about 15 people in their 50's and about 15-20 more in their 40's im way in the back.

I’m not rushing because we have at least six months till BWL...so just running MC with average of 3 epics per boss your looking at 729 epics before BWL. And that doesn’t include Ony.

BWL is were the real race starts.

Logged on to Pagle yesterday and got the notification that Blizz is offering free server migration. I play at odd times so I don't get hit with a big Q very often but I thought that was interesting, the offer.

yeah, im not playing 10 hours a day. This game doesnt excite me that much. Plus there are other games i still enjoy playing alot. Ill put in my work and get to 60, but its not going to be right away! I just enjoy other games to just want to play 1 game.

I got to 40 last night on my Shaman, it's a grind for sure. I don't think I could level another one anytime soon because I got other shit to do. Finally got Stormstrike though so now I should be able to pick up the pace a little bit and the rotation won't be so much as waiting on auto swings to proc Windfury, which will be nice.

Anybody still playing this? What severs/factions?

me and GF leveled horde on pagle.

Problem is pagle is like 80/20 ally horde, so when they opened up server transfers all the horde left moved off. It was tough getting groups before, now, impossible for the way we play.

So, we did what any sane person would do... we rolled ally

so now leveling as Ally on Pagle~ Just hit 20 last night now we gonna aoe duo with lock/pally

i took a month off, and i been playing again, im almost 35. Im just glad one of my old gaming buddies is leader of a raid guild and they let me just hang around and when i hit 60 i can raid if i want! So, its been fun, but PVP has been rough when you are trying to solo level. Alot of deaths.

My month sub ran out when I hit 44 in classic and I have no interest in starting it back up while the honor system is out but BGs arent.

Leveling through Tanaris, Ungoro, Winterspring, etc just sounds like a terrible idea right now.

I have a toon of every class on Pagle. All on the Horde side in the Tree of Life guild, which is a pretty nice one with about 900 characters in it. I also have a Pally on the Ally side just to fart around with the class in a throwaway guild called Taco Vendor because I like the name.

AV is out on the 10th i believe.

I'll be too busy playing the new POE league that comes out on the 13th. Probably wont be playing WoW til the next expansion comes out.
