MMORPG fans have waited months for the launch of World of Warcraft Classic, the revival of the hugely popular online game in a guise close to how it appeared upon launch 15 years ago. And despite WoW Classic now being live, many are still waiting to play. The sheer number of players trying to get online at once means that developer Blizzard's servers cant handle the strain, leading to long digital queues to enter the game world. Now, Blizzard has responded to explain why the wait is so long.
Ahead of WoW Classic's launch, Blizzard warned that the queue times would be a lot longer than most people may think, and outlined ways for players to avoid having to wait too long. "We urge players on realms marked Full or High to plan to play on one of these new realms to avoid the longest queues, and to help spread the player population as evenly as possible and provide the best play experience for everyone," the studio said.

Since launch, Blizzard has released over 20 new realms, and the developers are continuing to monitor world health to jump in and open new realms if necessary. But Hazzikostas says the team still waits for a realm to fill before opening a new one because the main priority is a healthy population for the long term.
Hazzikostas also addressed some confusion over the queue sizes for some servers. Designations like “High, Medium, and Low” are determine dynamically, so even servers with queues of around 4k-5k will still be labeled “Medium” in comparison to even more populated queues. Blizzard is working to change the logic to be more intuitive. So, a server with a queue will be labeled “full” which should make it clearer for players looking to avoid a long wait.
