Population question

[Mophanges]

Hi guys,

I was just wondering what do you think the population will be in the first few weeks of the server, will it be like the molten was?
The reason i ask is, i am a bit concerned that there will be waiting queues like molten had in the beginings.
I know that there is no way to know for sure until the server releases, but i just want to know your opinions.

I think it's gonna be full on the launch day and have a lot of que... AT least 1-2k que if not even more.

If our previous launches are any indicator, it's probably best to try show up earlier rather than later due to everyone trying to get on.

What do you guys think, will the population settle down after the first week, or will waiting queues be for couple of weeks. Many people told me they think that there will be waiting queues first couple of days, but that it will stabilize after a week or so.

There is a big hype around lordaeron on all of warmanes realms and even outside so i think there will be a que even after the hype is over.

I don't think queue's gonna be a problem, I expect the server to crash under all the players.

Haha most likley it will be really unstable....

[Skuddy]

simple solution to the que, just donate and skip it.

This is why we need a stress test... but as always, people won't join unless promised some sort of reward...

I hear ya Rad... no reward = no motivation for the 'masses' :/
gotta say, after a good 100+ levels across many toons in many places on PTR > the REWARD is the realm itself.
...Cleary they are sparing no details - Warmane has done a splendid job...and still a month remains

Aww yiss. This is my greatest fear as well. I hope they implement a 5sec autosave interval, or something, to avoid rollbacks.

Or they could at least to try and keep the server stable or do a serious stress test on the server to see how it would handle a larger population.

I think everyone knows the possible results of a stress test, it would just be "Yup, under 7k players the server is crashy." Perhaps that's why they don't waste their time with it, though remember there are still 24 days til launch.

I remember a friend of mine ''multiboxed'' like 400 characters on Ragnaros, can't warmane do that?

How is that even possible? :D Wouldn't that overload the PC?
