How determined are you to play World of Warcraft at the moment? It seems like the servers are showing long queues<\/strong>, with players finding inventive ways to get in on the action. Apparently, the best strategy is to enter the game in the morning, move around every now and again, and start playing when the server lets you in by evening time.<\/p>\n\n\n

This delay is causing issues with Classic World of Warcraft on two major servers<\/strong>. The first one hails back to 2019, which is the original one that\u2019s more or less unchanged since it launched. The second WoW server is a more recent one with fresh data, which is better for newcomers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how are World of Warcraft gamers dealing with this queue issue? With some days showing a queue of more than 14,000 players, it\u2019s a challenge that boggles the mind. The solution: start the game in the morning and wait until the evening to begin playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, this strategy only works if you\u2019re unemployed or working from home. The trouble is that you need to keep moving your character to prevent being kicked from the server. These gamers have much more patience than me, who logged out ten minutes after waiting for Elder Scrolls Online<\/a> servers to let me in.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least gamers are having fun joking about it<\/a> on the Classic WoW Reddit thread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other recent news, Blizzard laid off about 100 employees when they canceled World of Warcraft mobile<\/a>. However, I don\u2019t believe this is the reason for the massive queues, as it\u2019s a different project.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think it has more to do with the new balancing system where you only connect to servers where there\u2019s enough member distribution in factions. To ensure equity across factions, you\u2019ll have to wait until the server has enough members. For now, Blizzard hasn\u2019t indicated if they have a solution for the long queue time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
