There is another ocuker leveling a mage, but anything is welcome, shadowpriest currently isn't being mained.
I know I said in the original post no more pallies, but we could now use a holy paladin.

That'll be me I think! Just hit lvl 21 and must admit it's probably the most boring class I've levelled, playing frost and it's just spamming the frost bolt button. Does it get any better? I'll keep plodding on for the time being though as all my other toons are lvl 90 split across about 6 realms.

A little, but not much. I got incredibly bored with my mage that I boosted to 90.

I have 6 90s on silvermoon, happy to join and possibly raid but I doubt I can commit to it anymore.

I believe Silvermoon is now locked so cannot join this server

Think it's "Full" atm. A mate made a character on there last night.

Locked stops new characters being made if you do not currently have some already on that realm.

Woogie · 6 Nov 2014 at 12:41

I have no characters there so cannot create any. When myself and my brother checked last night it was definitely "locked"

Major issues on certain servers last night, they might have locked it because of that. I play on Draenor and last night the World Server was down all the time and I kept getting rollbacks. Draenor was locked too.

Woogie · 6 Nov 2014 at 12:52

Ah in that case I will check again. I am apprehensive about moving servers again simply because I did this for the OcUK guild that started on CoA which promptly fell apart. I am mainly a horde player so have no characters to transfer here and do not want to "waste" my time as it were.

Indie · 6 Nov 2014 at 13:02

How is the server? Don't want to have to wait in line to have to log in every night

Woogie · 6 Nov 2014 at 13:07

It is Full... so a queue is pretty much guaranteed.

I haven't had any issues with queues on Silvermoon since I returned in September. I think the night of the patch there was a queue in Battle.net but there wasn't anything to get onto Silvermoon after that.

Indie · 6 Nov 2014 at 13:43

If there was queues on patch day there will be huge ones on WoD release. will give this one a miss

I assumed locked means character transfers are also out of the question?

I'm sure blizzard will fit you in if your paying.

The queues do worry me a little but it's only been on 1 occasion so I'll see how it goes.

I only get limited time most evenings though so queuing daily isn't really an option for me.

You really don't want a low pop realm though, even with the new Xrealm stuff. It makes certain things like pugging, guild recruitment moving items on the AH etc much much slower. Been there done that, it is a MMORPG after all.

The reason there is Queues is because of 7 day freetime offer, and obviously pre-expansion patch. Give it a week or two after the expansion and it will be fine.

The time you spend queuing once in a blue moon will dwarf the time spent waiting around on a low pop realm looking for players to do grouped content with you

Tune · 6 Nov 2014 at 17:47

It's not once in a blue moon though, its going to be the first month of WoD, like it was in MoP.

I do agree with you and it can suck on a low pop server but at the same time, with limited time, if I had the choice between queuing and running a couple of dungeons/dailies on a low pop server I'd take the latter.

Mark3h · 6 Nov 2014 at 18:23

Silvermoon has gone back down to full, instead of locked for now.
Not even low pop servers Spenj, early mop I had a friend come to silvermoon, as on Thunderhorn, Galleon would have been alive for hours on end, even when he was current content. It being a medium pop realm.
