Subject: Queues on a medium pop server? |
| |
Well, until today apparently (going from what has been said by guildies mainly, only suffered the queues tonight) azjol-nerub was still a recommended server with queues. After trying to log on tonight i got stuck into a queue, so before getting far in i decided to check the realm population for it. What do i see? A medium pop server with queues =/. I assume that blizzard lowered the pop cap since it wasn't such a hugely populated server, but with the new games out over xmas, isn't it possible for the population cap to be increased?

The cap is the same. The Medium status is relative, not absolute, meaning a realm with a short(er) queue can have a Medium tag if many other realms have longer queues.

Q u o t e:
It does seem pretty foolish. Shouldn't a realm that has queues be given full status, simply so people realise they can't immediately connect?
We add the "Full" tag on realms that have queues during peak hours, disregarding peaks where extraordinary matters (e.g. several other realms of the same type being down) have influenced the numbers. The tags are changed each Wednesday, but we were cautious about the tag changes this week due to the slightly unreliable holiday numbers. I'm sure we'll see some changes next week based on the coming weekend.

Q u o t e:
Yet people are still directed to Argent Dawn when they click 'recommended RP realm'
Sending people to a full realm with weekday queues of 600+? I truly hope the 'recommended' tag gets changed and new people stop coming to Argent Dawn....we're full!
Do these people testing it have characters on the realm already?

Q u o t e:
Blizzard crew closes the thread on Stormreaver realm forum without even replying to the the 19(!!!!!) pages long reply post?
Are you suggesting the number of replies to a post (in most cases pure spam) should decide whether a matter receives a reply?
I said we're very aware of the issue. I could also refer to the migration chance you have soon, but there were two threads about it on your forum already. I can't say more than that right now.
