Ahem. Yeah... I see Tharfor already corrected my post. ;P
Q u o t e: we recently had 2 free migrations away from our realm, unfortunately it only made things worse. we had a 600 queue last evening during raid time, very nice to wait 30 min for a tank when you want to do MH.
The migration is hardly the cause of the queues. Without the migration the queue would probably be longer.
Q u o t e: Got stuck in a queue of 360 or so yesterday.
Wy not turn off the PCT to Outland. When the queues go down, turn it back on. At the moment, there are people migrating every day, it's just getting worse and worse.
PCT has only minimal effect on the queues. The increase is on almost all realms, showing that the overall activity has gone up after 2.3 and the start of Season 3.
Any chance I could get an answer to my question too Thundgot?
Q u o t e: Does this mean we shouldn’t be expecting a free migration any time soon despite you mentioned something about (free migration @ end of s2 + @ start of s3) > (free migration @ start of s3)?

Believe me that I play on both: Outland server rocks in many ways and so it attracts a lot of people.
On the other side my older server sucks HARD and even those days is never above medium and instant 2v2 arena. I suggest you PCT to Genjuros where you'll find all the few queue possible, I'll stay well gripped to Outland, it's 15 times better in every aspect bar my old friends.
Q u o t e: Due to first the 2.3 patch and now the start of Arena Season 3, the World of Warcraft realms are experiencing increased activity especially at peak playing hours. On a few realms this has resulted in (extended) queues, delaying players' entry to the particular realms.
Be assured that we're closely monitoring these queues and the population trend on all realms. However, due to the feedback we've seen from players in the past, we do not wish to take any knee jerk reaction on what may very well be a temporary issue. Should the queues persist we will come back to you on the issue.
Tharfor edit: fixed!
I think someting is serously wrong with Arena - 2v2. Last time I played with my mate 2 things happened:
1st. Queues were 6 - 7 minutes long. Nothing special one would say, but it we were playing at 01.00 am!
2nd. It happened 2 times that during entering arena either me or my friend lost connection and was not able to enter arena (though there was still some time left for arena match to begin) resulting in loss of 2 games :/
Blizzard, can you please take a look at 2v2 arenas, because there is something wrongw with it since new patch and I find it hard to belive that it's such a increased popularity. I can see this as explaination at peek hours but calling 01 - 02:00 am peek hours is a bit of missundurstanding
As said by other ppl in this thread bladefist needs ppl . Why wont you just give free migration from all the over populated servers (Like al'akir) to all the recommended servers?
As you have many ghost servers (wich is the big reason for people to use your PCT), why not merge some of this and get that overflow hardware to back up the bigger, more popular servers like Kazzak and Outland?
Also, as we have not felt any lag or massive disconnects yet, does this meen your current hardware is not maxed out yet, but still has "room" for more befor we see a new Daggerspine?
