Nostalrius goes one step forward

I'm pretty sure that if such insane queues happen, they'll do something about. How about we wait and see how it turns out?
I'm also pretty sure they have a few backup plans for different scenarios. Even if that makes it hard to come online in the first week, does it matter? If the, in a worst case scenario; "trial and error" results in a steady server, I'm good.
So far I'm really happy with the results on the PvP server. If they are trying to make it even better that's fine by me. If that fails in the end I'll say: "Good try". Have a little faith, people.

The hype's gonna be back when they announce the release date. And about the video, it's just a matter of pride. They've seen what quality videos kronos has and they want to have the same if not better. That's all.

oh really? the superduper videos helped chronos alot... NOOOOOOOT

Look , if you don't have the time to wait in queue for 30 mins , maybe you should check out another expansion. In Vanilla time commitment is the smallest requirement .

Who says there's going to be queue, don't lower yourself to a doomsayers level Cortana, we don't know anything yet. No where do they state that the 2.5k cap is not a subject to change. I'm sure that they'll raise the cap if the interest persists through initial hype. Might as well talk about 2 pve servers if you want to go ahead on things.

If there's 30 min queues, just come home, log in, go do dinner.

We always had queues on my live server back in classic, made us want to play all the more! (which we did til 4am :p)

Of course I have time, but it's not funny to spend it waiting. Im not saying that I won't wait, I said that it's not funny.

PS: It doesn't matter if we can't login if there's no herbs/nodes or mobs anyways. That doesn't make any sense, why would I play a game if I cant even play it because it has to cater to as much people as possible at all times. I hope that if they EVER tinker with the player cap, it'll be after at least 3-4 weeks of constant 2hrs+ queues.

Edit: I seriously doubt it'll ever become that bad though, also I believe that what happened to the PVP server was a first in the private WOW server scene; expecting 5000+ players again is quite silly and not normal at all.

Quality > quantity.
IMHO, Nostalrius Begins is so much popular because of the PvP feature. Take away that and see how popular it will be.
On the other hand, we, the PvE'r know exactly what we want/expect from the PvE server. PvP gameplay is by definition way more competitive than PvE. That is the main reason why people love it, it is like a sport, challenging in it's own way, while PvE people have their own goals, and like to play in a more laid-back way.
And, you doomsayers, do you realize that taking out the queue takes jus a small fix?
When....no, IF the queue will be a mean one, the devs can rise it bit by bit as they please. Still prefer the queue and 'normal' population than a mob. Currently playing on Primal with ~ 300 population. No problems getting in parties and people do raid, mostly semi-PUgs (more than one guild for 40 raids). Ok, cross-faction RDF makes things easy but still more than playable. On a PvE server, without wPvP, why is it fun to play with 8000 players?

Not on the PvE server you ganking scrub

That sums it up for me. I like to relax when I'm playing, and that is not possible on the PvP server, having to always look over your shoulder.
