WoW EU is unplayable since WoD release, I managed to reach level 93 just because I can play in the morning. After that? 4000 and more positions of queue. I'm in queue since 4 hours now, and I probably will be for at least 1-2 more. Not impressed at all by this launch. And it's a shame because the game itself is really great :(

I have no queue times at all now since the maintenance this morning. Everything seems perfect too.

Yes its still terrible. Oceanic still has queues since maintenance and I spent 8 HOURS in the queue yesterday. Sorry but thats beyond unacceptable. I agree with Adam the cross realms and mergers are probably the cause - my server was merged with another medium pop oceanic and yeah ergh. I don't normally complain about things Blizzard can't control but this well and truely their fuck up. I think some sort of compensation may be in order else they will lose alot of players over this. I would of though 4 days later it should be fixed but mmm....

That sucks. On the EU servers I play on (Steamwheedle Cartel and The Sha'tar) I haven't had any queues and only minor lag (though thanks to my crappy computer I always have some lag anyway). I also haven't seen any bottlenecks. Sure, it's a lot more crowded than usual but still nothing too dramatic.

The only problem that's been plaguing my servers is that the garrisons are broken and so you keep getting stuck in limbo when you try to get in. You can't take the flight path cause there are no npcs (though you see plenty of other stuck players), hearthstones don't work and if you run too far away from the garrison you simply get ported back. At one point I even got stuck on a flight path that unfortunately went *over* the garrison and my flying mount just sat there in the air not moving. Every time it happens it takes about an hour to get unstuck. I'm really dreading going into my garrison because I never know if it will work or not. Really anoying.

Still, best launch I've ever had. ;)

We are really happy on Azol-Nerub. We could play all night yesterday and no lag and plenty of mobs to kill. REALLY happy about this move

It's been perfect here on Draka since the maintenance Saturday morning. It wasn't really bad before it though. Only the queue times which are now completely gone.

Part of the biggest problem is the huge population increase. In June, the Sub base was close to the same number as it was back in 2006. Sept you saw a small increase up to 7.4 Million. Then then day WoD came out, it shot up to 10 Million. The game has been very stable for a few days now. I don't have to fight with the game to get back in, when it would randomly lock up because it was bugging out. Here is something I grabbed from MMO Champion to show the decline in sub base.
