I knew about the vanilla server getting closed, but after a few weeks it didn't seem to have much effect, then suddenly, huge queues overnight...and oddly after I read something about increasing the capacity, which if anything should have reduced queues. Yes, I can't imagine playing retail now. It is just really bad, boring, pointless.
Anyway, sadly, I can not play here because of the new queue. I wonder how many others are like me and will just move on and if that will have the reverse effect on the server and cause it to dry up, go empty and blow away.
