630 que on New Hardware?

The new hardware improved performance and stability across all realms and as a result, we've been able to increase the player capacity allowed per realm. Unfortunately, with the expansion's release, numerous realms are filling up with players beyond what this new player capacity allows.

We anticipated that the launch of Burning Crusade would be bring about an extremely active concurrency.

With that being said, it should be noted that while it will be very likely that our peak hours will bring about queues on select realms during this busy period, we are in the process of addressing the matter and plan to offer additional free character transfers to players with characters on highly populated realms.

Additionally, we're going to continue to open new realms for those who wish to start fresh. Please bear with us during this time, as we're closely watching all issues that could potentially affect players.
