Apparently blizz is doing some tweaking to the servers. Hopefully this will reduce the queue times a bit atleast.
With hotfixes that we are currently deploying to all WoW Classic realms, we are substantially increasing the number of players that can be simultaneously logged in and playing. We expect this to result in smaller queues for realms that have large queues, and some realms should no longer have queues at all.
We will closely monitor performance and stability throughout this process.
Thank you very much.

So let's hope for the best and prepare for the worst
Let's hope. Finally had a chance to use remote desktop from work to start WoW cause I'll be home in a couple hours. As of five minutes ago it's a 5000 something person queue at 171 minutes for Incendius.
If they add more layers, then how will they ever remove layering?
AKA... we're increasing the layers per server to the max which means if this many people stay long enough, layering will persist through phase 2 for the heavily populated realms.

Just about doubled in the past hour. Doesn't seem to feel like much of an increase.
E: May need some time to get functioning; will be able to tell closer to 6pm.
Come to Deviate Delight. We have no queue. And.... cookies. /flex

If it continues like this I might make an alt there just for fun.

Do it
For real though... I'm going to advocate the crap outa DD. It's been a great server so far.
I hope that too.
Current situation at Dreadmist:

My only problem with it so far on my very very limited play time on that server was that it seems to be a staging zone for people waiting on their actual realms. The vast vast majority of people I see on those realms aren't even trying to have RP names, especially in Mulgore. Good lord. Cow puns. Cow puns everywhere. Normally I like cow puns, hell look at my main, but on an RP server it shouldn't be like that. And I know if I choose to lose all progress I have made and go onto Deviate Delight, how long will it be before that realm is abandoned because everyone went back to their "home" realm?
Man, last night 2 hour queue on Razorgore so I rerolled to Dreadmist, now cant play here either -.- .
I'm getting teamviewer set up on my computer at home during lunch right now as we speak. Trying to set up the home computer so I can command it to log in for me from my cell phone 4 hours in advance while I'm at work. Hope this change makes it so I don't really have to do this...
Past couple days I've only been able to get in near midnight PST.

Whatever your progress in game is doesn't even matter anymore. You're almost 60 here!!!! Time to crank out some shitposts!!

This was a big concern of mine too as we tested it out with our potential mains. I can't speak for the Horde side, but over on the Alliance there was definitely some of the same. Night Elf females with names like Purrpurrkitty, and other crap. Thankfully, there's report names for non-RP. They were the ones jumping around at level 2 and 3 spamming the chat all night. The rest who were legit playing, felt like a large solid community.
There's definitely a non-vocal majority who wanted an East Coast RP-PVP, and don't care about 1 night wasted on Grob.

This seems like a pretty shitty outcome of everything being so full. The RP containment servers work both ways, they're supposed to keep the RP people off the normal realms, and it's supposed to keep the normies out of the RP realms. Seems like having so many non-RP refugees holed up and making a home on RP servers is going to ruin the RP aspect for the RP players that those realms are supposed to cater to.

It's just not the same though. There aren't any login queues here. I need Teebs to implement a 7 hour queue before I can get in and shitpost so it can feel just like the real game :lol:
