Although World of Warcraft has been difficult to renew its past glory, although Blizzard was once accused by the players, it is still difficult to hide the popularity of WOW Classic. World of Warcraft Classic has opened the role name pre-created some time ago. Although the official opening time is August 27th, there are still too many players in the previous period, far beyond Blizzard's expectations.
Last week, we already covered that Blizzard is expecting severe queues due to extremely high demand after Blizzard kicked off name reservations on the upcoming Classic realms. The WoW Classic team is now warning fans that various realms will be massively overpopulated and urges players to move to other realms. According to Blizzard, they already raised the player cap on Classic’s servers.
After players were able to reserve their character names for the new-old version of the classic MMO, Blizzard released a warning that players should be wary of the game’s login queues.
Based on name reservations so far, the Herod realm is looking to be massively overpopulated. If all existing players on this server remain there, login queues in excess of 10,000 players are a certainty, and possibly much higher than that.
Blizzard seems to be taking every step necessary to ensure a smooth experience for players when World of Warcraft Classic launches August 27. This includes maintaining strict realm caps and balancing populations across different servers to ensure stability. "While we are able to fit several times more players on a single realm in 2019 than was the case in 2006, we are not going to raise that cap any further, even though we have the technical capacity to do so," Jordan writes.
It is reported that the Herod server of the US service has been a large number of people, Blizzard predicts that the number of queues of the server may be as high as 10,000 when the service is officially opened. In this regard, the developer advised players who have already pre-created the role in the US service of the Herald server, and turned to the new server "Starr" to play the game.
Blizzard officials also said that before the official reopening of other PVP servers, players can go to Starrag to establish a role, players can be evenly distributed across multiple servers before the game is officially opened, thus providing players with the best games.
Previously, the World of Warcraft National Service Operation team said that in order to allow more players to reserve their favorite role names before the classic nostalgic service is opened globally, we expect to add three groups as early as August 15 (Thursday) at 02:00 am.
