First off, this is not designed to be a complaint topic, but a thread to discuss what people's experiences have been in terms of queue times.

As many know, I have not been playing too regularly on Dalaran since we started a Horde undertaking on maelstrom. However, as I have mentioned in game, I am interested in partaking in Alliance side fun with y'all more these days, especially come BC.

However, the Dalaran queue times frequently leave me shaking my head in disgust and I find myself not having the time to be able to wait for the estiamted queue time so I hop on Maelstrom.

In you experiences, which days of the week (at nights since that is only when I log in) have the best and worst log in times?

I understand BC may throw a wrench into this for a little while til the hype goes down but.

I wonder if it is my mountain time zone vs. lots of east coasters that leads to my long times since they get home from work 2 hours before I do so eat then log in around when I am trying.

Any suggestions besides getting a non 8 to 5 job or moving down east are most welcomed.

What? You can't move East? You can't change jobs? You're going to have to make sacrifices for WoW Krynn. Come on. Jeez.

Sorry... I'm no help as I don't play currently so I have no idea about times, but I just wanted to let you know how disgusted I am in you and your lack of dedication.

Well isn't that calling the kettle black? In that light I consider myself at least one step up from you in that at least I am playing! :P Get yer butt back in game.

Weekend prime time is rough. After 7 CST is also a bit dicey. I simply log on and if there is a que, let it run and go do something for about 15 minutes, rarely takes longer than that.

Several guilds have moved to a new server, so it may improve some... but with BC hitting, I doubt it will get any better for a while.

I am on the East Coast here... and I am ok as long as I get in before 7-8ish... after that I do what Manni does, queue up and do some house work or something... For what it is worth, I think some others servers have it worse than us :D

Hard to believe but there are other servers that are way worse than Dalaran. We made a decent choice on server selection waay back in the day. I wonder if they would ever post how many peeps are on each server. Would be interesting to know.

Yeah, I would be very interested to see the active server populations, but in the cloak in dagger world of Blizzard, I fear we will never know.

When I log in after work around 0300 server time I get right in :P


Seriously the only times I see queues are Sunday and Monday nights when I try to log in between 2200 - 2400 usually.

Waiting? Queues? What is this you are talking about? :lol:

6-7 CST is pretty clear on weekdays, I rarely have to wait. After 8 is a different matter. It is rarely over 10 minutes though.
