ZetZek Report post Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) Last stress test started. Logged in got 4600 queue, no problem waited like 10mins got in. Game run so smooth. Hosted in EU so had good latency and zero lag. Just watched people logging in to starting zone. Then started messing with my graphics settings. Game crashes. Back to queue which is 11000+ at this point and estimated wait time over 30mins. Hopefully getting my addons set up during this test. Still got tomorrow I guess.

ZetZek Report post Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/wow-classic-realm-names-and-types-europe/67930 Quote Starting at 00:01 CEST on Tuesday 13th August, players with an active subscription or game time on their World of Warcraft account can reserve their character names by creating up to three Classic characters. Please note that all of your characters on a PvP realm must be the same faction. Before creating a character, you’ll choose the realm where you want to play that character. The following realms will be available: Name Type Language Golemagg PvP English Hydraxian Waterlords RP English Mirage Raceway Normal English Pyrewood Village Normal English Shazzrah PvP English Zandalar Tribe RP-PvP English Name Type Language Auberdine Normal French Sulfuron PvP French Name Type Language Everlook Normal German Lucifron PvP German Name Type Language Хроми (Chromie) Normal Russian Пламегор (Flamegor) PvP Russian Relative realm population will be visible in-game to help in choosing a realm so you will see “Low, Medium, and High” in the realm selection screen. If there are high numbers of players congregating on individual realms during name reservation and character creation, we will post warnings about the potential for queues on those realms, giving you time to choose alternate realms. WoW Classic releases worldwide on Tuesday 27th August at 00:01 CEST. So.... Golemagg or Shazzrah ?:D Edited August 9, 2019 by ZetZek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muuman Report post Posted August 9, 2019 Doesn't matter I guess, but we gotta make a decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cogency Report post Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) Go Shazzrah. Top named server still gets more zerged then lower ones. Also what is the change they will open up more servers? Classic might get zerged to hell? I will try to reserve my name (monday right?), unsure if I will actually play. Got alot going on atm but will try to pop by.

ZetZek Report post Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) Everyone can make 3 characters and we got 2 servers so it's not a huge problem to make one character on both realms and decide later where we start playing. Unless you have like 3 very popular character names you want to use on your main and alts.. then it's maybe a problem 😛 Edited August 9, 2019 by ZetZek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emmx Report post Posted August 10, 2019 People seem to indicate that Golemagg is targeted by non english speakers. So Shazzrah seems the best choice if that is correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Targetmemore Report post Posted August 11, 2019 I wont be able to reserve my name since i m on hollydays untill 24/08.. I fear that they set a number max of slots allowed on servers and i can t create on same server as everyone... someone know ? I also wouldnt be fked if they block cration of faction to balance both sides ( even if the risk to see horde more numerous than alliance is very improbable ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZetZek Report post Posted August 11, 2019 I'm leaning towards shazzrah.. Many ppl I know going there and then there is the rumour about big spanish community going to golemagg since they are not getting their own language server. That could lead to stormreaver situation but this time instead of finnish it would be spanish in general chat 😛 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emmx Report post Posted August 11, 2019 Well now its seems the British, Scandinavian, and the Spansish community has targeted Shazzrah, also some eastern european countries. Seems like noone ended up targeting Golemagg after all. Not sure what is going on, but the server discords are on fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tumble Report post Posted August 12, 2019 looks like the wipe was extended to Wednesday 14th. Some extra time for anyone wanting to test anything and/or set up addons etc. Guess that means the name reserving is later too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have anything official because doubt there is any blue post about it but auction houses are server wide(inside each faction) just like chat channels, character names etc. Only way layering would affect the auction house is if people can abuse the system(they totally can) and f.ex layer jump to get same ore/flower/whatever over and over again from different layers. Just hope they remove the whole system as soon as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just hope they remove the whole system as soon as possible. That is basically what I am afraid of. In Vanilla you had 2-3k people supplying an AH. Meaning you, in the first few months, could not just buy gear off of the AH every few levels. With potentially 10k+ people, that is not going to be the case. With a fully stocked AH almost from day one, Classic will not be any thing close to what Vanilla was. Not for me any way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZetZek Report post Posted August 12, 2019 I would recommend not buying any gear from the auction house on your first character while leveling. Having 100g for mount at lvl40 is more important than having some extra gear. Also noticed during the stress test that having skinning while leveling is totally awesome. Vendoring all the leather is lots of money! So I'll be skinning my way to lvl60 and getting rid of the profession then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackster Report post Posted August 12, 2019 Skinning is best... Other gathering is more difficult cause everyone hunts that copper vein or flower, while you shoot some thousands skinnables on your way to 60 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZetZek Report post Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) Well at least I got Zetzek reserved. After that been just constant disconnects without been able to create any characters. Kinda wanted to get some of my alt's names there too but will see.. don't feel like staying up whole night 😛 Edited August 12, 2019 by ZetZek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muuman Report post Posted August 12, 2019 Yeah... got my names on Shazzrah reserved: Muuman -Warrior Trenix - Druid Trenixen - Warlock Won't bother with Golemagg for tonight, leaning towards Shazzrah anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
