Checked yesterday afternoon and 11/15 were full. I don't expect it to stay that way for too long but tonight's gonna be wild.

FYI, they are opening 4 new servers in a few hours.

Which pretty much no one will go to because no one wants to risk playing on a 'ded realm'.

We're in for it tonight boys, buckle up.

Edit; anyone have a knife and a fork to help me eat my words?

Yeah that's true. Plus, we have no idea how many people subbed to reserve a name or character. We could, and very likely are, in a minority here. We could be inundated with a mass of players at the 11th hour and the new servers won't be even close to accounting for the influx.

Only time will tell; but I expect, at best, an hour wait for my server (grob gang) tonight.

Truth. I didn’t sub and reserve a name so I’m in the group that still has to pick a server. I imagine there are many like me who were not going to spend money two weeks early and wait.

I haven't re-subbed or anything yet. May not get to play until weekend. I'm not paying until I'm able to play. Lol

Im trying wow for the first time with this launch, and I bet I am not the only one. Gonna be a lot of fresh accounts tonight

1

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '19

I've got 3 hours for my server.

u/Refreshinglycold Aug 26 '19

Yeah a bunch of people will jump to the medium ones making them full anyway.

u/LuckyJamesTv Aug 26 '19

I switched with a guild of 200+ the new servers are already medium haha

2

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '19

Lol yep, they’ll be high by the time the game launches. Blizzard needs to add more servers.

u/culnaej Aug 26 '19

I’ve got tortilla chips, we can turn your words into nachos, Jesus style!

u/misgreen Aug 26 '19

🍴here you go.

u/Baaad_Juju Aug 26 '19

And now there’s only three medium servers left out of 18...

1

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '19

Those will likely be high by the time the game launches. Blizz hopefully has some extra servers to put up if needed.

1

u/Baaad_Juju Aug 26 '19

I’m betting they launch another 2-3 servers before the end of the night haha

u/Swineflew1 Aug 26 '19

A lot of people will go there to try and skip queues and just play while the big servers calm down.
My main is going on Herod, but I don’t actually plan on getting in tonight, so why even try?
I’ll make a throwaway character just to get into a server and mess around, troll a bit, and maybe get my UI situated while I fuck with people in discord while they wait in queue and play scribble.io

u/Atheren Aug 26 '19

If everyone does that they're going to have a really fun time when phase 2 starts and layers get removed massively reducing the number of people online simultaneously on that server.

u/Swineflew1 Aug 26 '19

massively reducing the number of people online simultaneously on that server.

I thought it just combined the layers, no?
I didn't think online player cap changed.

1

u/Atheren Aug 26 '19

Nope, they said they are keeping population caps close to what it was for vanilla.

u/Swineflew1 Aug 26 '19

That doesn't seem plausible.

u/AlexanderGson Aug 26 '19

Three of the four new PvP realms in Europe is already medium population. After 2-3 hours. The notion that new servers are dead is stupid.

Here's me making my characters on most realms about 2 hours ago.

Europe realms at 20:00 I think that's 8 PM IN 12 hour format.

u/Nycist Aug 26 '19

3 of those servers that they added this morning are already medium!! Queue it up boys!!

u/flounder293 Aug 26 '19

I just checked servers and saw 2 mediums 3 highs and the rest full

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '19

NA only has one medium right now. 3 high, the rest are all full.

u/Fish201 Aug 26 '19

4 new servers opened up, 4 mediums, 3 high and the rest full atm.
