WoW Classic May Suffer 10K Player Login Queues from freemexy's blog
World of Warcraft Classic is set to launch later this month, but
depending on the MMO realm you select to play in, the wait time to login
could be ridiculous.To get more news about WoW Gold Classic, you can visit lootwowgold news official website.
As Eurogamer reports, in the run up to launch Blizzard is allowing players to reserve a character name and choose a preferred realm to play in. The problem is, one realm in particular is proving to be extremely popular. It's called Herod and there's so many players selecting it Blizzard believes the login queue will be "in excess of 10,000 players."
A login queue simply means waiting to be allowed to login to the server to play. If there's a handful of players waiting ahead of you, then there's time to go make a coffee. However, 10,000+ players in the queue and you might as well go play something else and try again another day.
Blizzard won't solve the problem by increasing the number of players each server can handle. They could, but rather than solving it would just delay the same problem. Instead, Blizzard is calling upon players to choose another realm to play in. A plea was posted on Battle.net by community manager Kaivax requesting this:
Kaivax also points out that the realm population estimates of "Low, Medium, High" are set at 2019 levels rather than 2006 levels, meaning many more players per server today can and will be handled. Blizzard intends to run WoW Classic for years, so it's very keen to establish strong communities per realm, but is also "cautiously opening new servers to meet demand."
If you've already reserved a character name and chosen Herod as your realm, go and pick somewhere else. If you don't, it's likely playing WoW Classic on launch day will prove impossible. Anyone yet to sign up should pick whichever realm Blizzard is recommending at the time.
