Your progress

I'm having a blast man. The game is so smooth, the graphics are so polished, everything just feels like a blizzard game.

The queues suck. Logged in today at 1PM on a Monday and was greeted by a 4200 queue. Granted today is a holiday, but still. A week after launch and the queues are about 1/4th of what they were on launch day. The queue was 16,000 on launch, and now is ranging from 4000-6000 depending on time of day. I can manage that.

I'd probably be somewhere around level 25-30 by now without the queues. Lots of lost time spent staring at a screen. But I'm level 21 now, so I'm not getting too lost behind the crowd. I'm in Redridge now and the place is packed. That's all I ask right now - the rest of my guild is already 45-50 and I'm not going to make it to Molten Core on time. I still plan to join them as soon as I can, but until then, all I can ask from the game is to remain busy. I like questing in zones full of people.

I remained in night elf territory until nearly level 20 and while there were players it was never packed. I thought I was getting stuck on dead layers. I might have been, but Darkshore isn't the most popular area to quest in the first place. When I made it to Redridge I found myself surrounded by players and it feels good being in busier zones.

So far the game has 100% lived up to my expectations and has been everything I wanted it to be. I didn't farm private servers for the past 5 years so the difficulty of mobs and dungeons not being turned up a bit isn't bothering me. It is a valid complaint for others, but it's not bothering me right now. The game is still nice and fresh for me.

Until this weekend, I havent had any queues. So Thats nice. Friday, Sat, Sun and Today, queues (Why I am on here right now and not on wow...)

So far, I'm level 36, 225 skin, (cant afford the training to get it higher), 150 fish, 150 cook, 100 echant. Completely broke.queues really take a chunk out of your play time, I think i would be close to 40 if it wasnt for queues.

No queues on Hydraxian Waterbros, I’ve been posting my progress in my journal in this topic https://barrens.chat/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2388

Currently level 13, broke, and loving every moment.

I'm being indecisive and stuck between two characters, level 19 alliance druid, level 18 horde shaman. It would be easier if I could just make a dwarf shaman but I'm told that wishing for such a thing is heresy :)

I am still floating the idea of going rogue, as I don't mind playing one and its the least played class on the server.

Hit 50 on my warrior. Almost have max proffs, all primaries and secondaries. The queues made cleaving almost impossible so I often had to sit around for 4-5 hours at a time waiting for one of our guys to log on. So I spent time leveling proffs because I had nothing to do but wait. While cleaving was as absurd as we thought it was (actually even better when we realized you could level in a raid as a 6-8 man team) it was reliant on everyone being on at the same time, so it had its drawbacks with the shaky launch and long queue times. During our grind I ended at 50, with my mount and about 150g to spare. I still need to sell about 15 blue BoE items and split the gold for my group, I still have about 1200 silk to get rid of wholesale, I have a wardens staff to sell (first on the server) and a BUNCH of other stuff to slowly get rid of.

Overall this was a super unique experience. This has been completely unique from my vanilla wow and private server experiences and in a lot of ways has been A LOT more fun. The biggest difference I have noticed between Classic and Private is the level of investment I have in my character due to the permanence of Classic.

My goal was 60 within 2 weeks, which is obtainable. Going forward I'm going to prioritize dungeons and collecting pre BiS this week while knocking out my raid attunes later on this week. Hoping to create or get in a pug MC by end of week 2-3 and get some bosses down but we'll see.

Amazing class quests, poisons, lockpicking, pick pocketing, stealth ganking... there was a lot to tempt me as well!

I'm levele 28... having fun running dungeons with my friends... leveling up my alchemy as much as i can... fishing... ive been running razorfen kraul for the axe corpsemaker... i am happy with my progress

I am sitting at level 34 currently, with some pretty high professions and even 140+ lockpicking. Just taking my time and trying to help guildies when they need it.

I'm having a fantastic time. Got into a guild that I really enjoy and everyone is working really well together. Helping each other out with mats for professions, gear upgrades, dungeon runs. It's just been a really great experience so far.

Not to mention that I have had a ton of fun with random world PvP, ganking, etc.

Level 31 with engi and mining keeping up with the level :)

I'm level 13, with all RFC taken and ready to be done. I'm waiting for a couple of friends to log in, meanwhile i'm leveling a solo farmer hunter. Queues still suck, but i'm playing RDD2 on PS4 while I wait the log in.

I have a wardens staff

Dang bro.... jelly. Want it on my lvl 18 Druid :lol:

You'll be surprised to hear I haven't seen it drop in the Barrens yet hahaha. Good luck with your 50-60 push, almost there!

Never really been into wow before classic , but now I'm hooked.
