Remember queuing back in the day to play World of Warcraft? Classic fans sure do, because that’s the experience everyone is having today.
It’s almost too perfect, really. As Blizzard winds back the clock to 2004 — or 2006 really, given the version of World of Warcraft that’s been restored in Classic — players have found themselves with an experience that many had scrubbed from their memories. But when the World of Warcraft: Classic servers went live early this morning, so did the wonderful joy of seeing that “Realm is Full” message.
After nearly an hour in queue, still can’t play due to world server being down, don’t think even Blizzard thought the nostalgia would be this strong. #WoWClassic pic.twitter.com/yitcSKHY4l

Usual launch day queues… not too bad actually. Was happy it downloaded quickly! Needed an #MMO fix – #WoWClassic pic.twitter.com/LBwFZYmL3o

The most common complaints showed queues of up to an hour and a half, although one poor player was hit with a queue time of 456 minutes:
Well. That’s a fairly big queue. #WoWClassic pic.twitter.com/VtNpTgaHSW

Started my queue for #WoWClassic at 6pm. It is now 9:05 pm and I’m still sitting at approximately 122 minutes before I get into the server.

It is doing exactly what I predicted. My queue has went down maybe 1k in the last two hours….now my wait time just bumped up to 90 mins which is bs because it said an hour two hours ago. #WoWClassic

@Blizzard_ANZ @Blizzard_Ent @Warcraft 15 minutes in on Arugol. Oceania needs more servers. #WoWClassic pic.twitter.com/BleiElrqll

To be fair, at least those last two had better luck than me this morning.
