I will never know, I intentionally took the 1st month of expansion off, as I have always done

It really hasn't been all that bad. Not as bad as I expected anyway. There have been a few times where I have looked around for a mob to kill and sighed but as far as spawn rate it seems that Blizzard did have a little bit of foresight when creating these zones knowing how flooded they would be at first.


Especially with things like named characters that you have to kill. Often times you'll see piles of the same body underneath an already spawned mob. This is what I like to see, no one should be waiting around 5-10 minutes for the next boss mob to spawn.

I agree, Syrus.

Blizz has become much better with named mob spawnrates than they were in the past.

Ha, glad someone remembers. I remember sitting and waiting upwards of 10 minutes for a named to spawn back in vanilla.

I tried the first two nights and Hyjal was too crowded for it to be fun for me to try and do the quests. I actually enjoy doing quests so doing the race 10/15 people to tag a mob game isn't my cup of tea.

I did not try the past couple nights so hopefully it has cleared out some tonight when I take my newly dinged 80 Paladin there.

Area 52 is packed (the server, not the zone). I was #1257 in the queue Wednesday night. Hyjal was doable, but barely. I'm hoping Blizzard will be offering free transfers soon, as I want off Area 52 for a variety of reasons *cross fingers*.

It's been alright on my server, haven't had to wait very long for most mobs, named ones included. I will admit I've stolen a few due to frustration, as I don't like waiting for through two or more spawns of a named, to have someone swoop in and steal it.

Though I noticed that Blizzard designed a lot of the major quest ending mobs to be completed for multiple people, even if not grouped or on the same faction.

Kind of been shocked it hasn't been that bad. Even for quest where you have to kill just 1 named, it's usually not longer than a couple of minutes to have your turn. Plus, the re-spawn rate on everything seems to be incredibly high, lol. I've had some quest where you have to kill 8 of this or collect 10 of these things off a mob and I have just sat at the same location as they re-spawn every second it seems.

But overall on my server it's been nice.
