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.



Yeah I've done the same thing. Just stand in one spot and wait for yours to respwan while killing the mobs around you, beats looking around for them and competing with the other players. If someone sees you camping one, they will just leave you alone and go look for their own.


I am not sure If they will turn everything down to normal once the rush is gone, but I am very happy to see they had enough insight to start all the spawns as high as they are.

No idea, haven't started leveling yet. Finishing up argent tournament on my final alt and just getting everything ready to level after the crowds disperse.

haven't gotten to play until late each night, so it hasn't been too crowded for me, but there are definitely a few more people on than norm.

I've only taken my priest into Vash, she's 81. Was early this morning, so there were people but no PvP at all. Everyone just seemed to be in a pre-coffee state, questing mindlessly lol

Once I hit Deepholm it stopped slowing me down, but Hyjal was Macy's on black friday up to and until I finished it.

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*.

Area 52 is up for free transfers.



Yup, just announced today, looks like Blizzard read my mind. Well, that's not true, there's no free beer and strippers in Stormwind.

Crowded in Hyjal but after that, free roaming.

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 have enjoyed the stacks of named mobs...helps locate where they are sometimes without hunting them down.

people move a long pretty fast the way the mobs respawn and the way the quests are lined up you really don't spend a lot of time in one area of each zone to see a crowd. At least that's what it seems like.
