If server disconnects, all players get disconnected not just you. Afterwards there are 0 online so, if you log in fast enough, you'll have no queue. If you're afk, however... If you get disconnected, it's pretty likely your internet is unstable. You can't blame Warmane for that.
Also (@Roobyx) are you able to play here for free? Yes.
But what happens when too many people want to use the same free service? People have to stand in queue. That's logic. Now, as logical is Warmane's decision to award those who decide to donate to Warmane.

Yes I do play for free, that is quite obvious. And no my Internet connection has not been unstable, since that is something I pay for (if you get what I mean). And how do you imagine all 2-3k ppl on the que to stay and stare their monitors for more than 3 hours so, when the server goes down again, you to be the fastest to log back.
Well couple of things could happen. With the "donations" they are getting, they could have kept the 2 servers and merge RDF and BGs (Strangely the company that has created the game that you are not paying for to them, has done exactly that and it works). They can also make quite a few improvements on the server taking examples again from the company they are leeching from. Like having the raids/dungeons and battlegrounds on separate smaller machines, which are not he ones that keep all the continents population. Or have an infrastructure with shifting loads, since "The Nexus" does not have that many players in it, opposed to FoS/PoS.
There are solutions and improvements that can be done if the staff actually waned to do them instead of forcing you to pay for something they have not actually created.
The biggest problem of all of that is that they are forcing you to do that. The merge, not making any of the above solutions is exactly that. I can be proven wrong if they actually addressed the community with answers and explanations - none such are present (except that you can obviously skip the que and be added to the already 12k people by paying). You do realize that if there are 12k players already online and the servers cannot take more load, you should not be able to connect, but you pay and you connect - that would have been fine if they actually announced it (but its a hidden scheme).
If it is a "donation" it has to be done out of generosity by the people that want to (I would if I am not forced to). The amount should not be fixed and put against certain benefits. Thats pure payment, not a donation.
Noone can complain if they say things are they are (or give explanations to problems and posted questions):
We offer: Queue skipping for this much money
We accept donations from happy people that want to donate and help us maintain the server.
Simple as that...Edited: June 14, 2016

Skuddy in which way having a private server of a game which is not yours and clearly forbids that, charging money for it and says that is "donation" to avoid even more legal problems is not a scheme ? Furthermore I would still gladly pay that if the servers were actually stable and everyting was actually working.

Member
First off, what Skuddy linked. Second off, I am paying money to "that company" since I still play on retail. Thirdly, it is understandable that members who help are treated better than these who don't. Last but not least, if you had donated, you wouldn't have queue. Only people who have to stay in queue want another realm. That means they don't want to donate, else they wouldn't have this problem. Therefore the realm wouldn't be able to fund itself (and it's upholding shouldn't be paid by players of Icecrown).

they're not scheming anything. donating is entirely optional.
and if your waiting for bug free than you may as well leave now. no private server will ever be bug free. also servers seem stable enough to me. crashes once in a while are to be expected. i've yet to see a game that didn't have server crashes.

What did you try to say with this?
All I understood is you dont know what you're donations go for, on what I can give an answer - to fund upholding the servers and to pay developers for their job.

I like how some people who have donated, want to be appreciated and be put on a pedestal, but don't want the situation to change...
Matter of FACT is... "donations" MUST be put into server before anything else. Meaning...
1) Server Machines
2) Staff
In that order.
Having to wait 2 hours to join a game is really stupid, and people have quit RETAIL games for less. Rent a better server machine ffs. I can't imagine warmane not having the money for it... they're just milking donations for premium memberships. Or so it seems...

I forgot to mention the fact that there is not a single official update on the matter. Not even acknowledged that there is a problem. Which spells "If you ain't talking money I don't wanna talk..." in my ears at least. Do something about it please. At least make an announcement or something...

I love how most donators only have one thing to answer to 'freeloaders' : "Go donate and skip queue".
You do realize that if everyone donated to skip queue, the serv would either crash a lot more, or donaters will start getting a queue to log in (if 14k people have premium access, but only 12k people are allowed in, 2k premium will still have to queue)....
This is clearly not a realistic option, Warmane is fine with the way things are, they're just making loads of cash through people donating (and to be clear, I don't have a problem on that, good for them), but don't be surprised when you see people complaining about it; restricting access to non-paying players on (what is shown as) a non-paying service is just twisted and laughable.

There is no problem - people are donating, the money is flowing.
And being silent whenever there's a ****stom is a typical thing for them. They can't be all honest and stuff, because that would be bad PR, they can't tell you "son, donate or GTFO", no - that's their fanboys job. They're doing well so far xD

Que is not a problem, that is the normal thing, did you ever play retail my child?

What if... But such possibility is simply way too small to consider.
To those asking why better machines arent bought, anyone knows retail server cap? Because then we'll be able to compare Warmane's machines with Retail. Knowing that Warmane's income is way smaller...
