what a shitshow but totally worth it

We wanted the authentic classic experience - there isn't a much more authentic experience then sitting at a login queue :lol:

Now comes the realization that we still got 2 weeks to go.

Celebrate with pizza

That's lovely and all, but you had me at Mankrik <3

Got in fast & someone already had my main name I wanted. 30 minutes to get my other two names. i feel pretty good & now I am a Classic player on Pagle.

For some reason in 10 min I gotten my nickname on 3 servers (I still don't know exactly where I will play).

The internet gods has spoken to me yesterday.
I think the stress caused by this experience has taken years off my life.

I also made a character on a wrong realm thinking I was on the right one, thankfully I realized that pretty soon :mrgreen:

It's funny, we're on the internet, yet we are in line! :lol:
Instead of showing a number and loading Queue on the screen, they should show us literally in line behind 500 people and when people leave the line or get in we move forward :lol:

It was a glorious mess

Well atleast you got the names you wanted ^^

I had similar experience.

-Log in (probably the first 100 to get in)
-Create character and choose name
-Get error that Only players who already have character on the realm can create one.
-Message says that for like 5 mins (I pressed ok and then tried again over and over)
-Get disconnected after those 5 mins
-Gets put in 10k+ queue
-Get in, name is taken. Notice that it put me on Mirage Raceway server for some fucked reason
-Switch to Golemagg, another 10k+ queue.
-Name taken

Fucking pissed, goes to bed.

Wakes up and log in and take "Erik" but with accent. So final character is Erìk.

What pisses me off is not that I didn't get the name, but what pisses me the fudge off is
that they were not prepared even though they hyped this and EVERYONE in any forum
or social media said that there are too few servers. If they had been prepared and not fucked
up I and alot of others who patiently stayed up to reserve a name would have gotten the name
we wanted.

Of course they weren't prepared, because this was the real stress test :lol:

I got in at 3:00 in a queue of around 30 people, and then I got kicked and it proceeded to make me wait until like 3:35 to get in, fuck Blizzard and all their bullshit.

Of all my friends, i'm the only one that DCed on the load in :( RIP Time, i'm now Times, and i'm so salty I could kill all the nearby freshwater fish

Not necessarily. If more than one person wants the same name then only one person is walking away with it no matter if the login went smooth as silk or if everything is on fire and there's a mile long queue out the virtual door. The fact that the name was taken within a several minute period meant somebody else was also chomping at the bits trying to get the same name. It still would have been a tossup even if there was 0ms lag and no queue and everybody tried clicking submit at the same time.

It's just more frustrating if you didn't get it and you spent time staring at a long queue.

- i'm on MANKRIK. OMG WTF WHY AM I ON MANKRIK?

This same thing happened to me, but I wasn't able to reserve one of the names I had hoped for. I'm a bit miffed, truthfully.
