Depends on where you are from, server is based somewhere in Western / Central Europe, I believe.
And yes, the queue is a permanent thing.
You either sign on before the peak hours which is around 2pm Server Time (or you're stuck in a long, and i mean very long que) or you pay $10 to skip the queue forever.
So is it better to play in Outland then since there is not permanent queue out there?
Well, IF you want to play Burning Crusade expansion and not Wrath of the Lich King, then sure.Quote:

Icecrown has more than double the ping Outland has

If you are okay spending next two months, 8 hours a day leveling go with Lord. However, if you’re interested in raiding and pvE endgame and you can donate some money to skip the queue go Icecrown.Quote:

Icecrown has larger population and is mostly end-game but there's still people joining everyday and doing the grind so it's not too late or anything.
If you can skip the queue, icecrown is great or if you play at off hours, but if you don't plan on atleast donating, it is hard to get into the server and raid at peak times. It's been a little laggy lately too, but it's playable and being worked on. I get 100 ping from NA on icecrown.
