World of Warcraft Dev Tracker

With hotfixes that we are currently deploying to all WoW Classic realms, we are substantially increasing the number of players that can be simultaneously logged in and playing. We expect this to result in smaller queues for realms that have large queues, and some realms should no longer have queues at all.

We will closely monitor performance and stability throughout this process.

Thank you very much.

In order to deploy an improvement to the game service, we will perform restarts of all WoW Classic realms in this region 2019-08-28T15:00:00Z.

Realms should be unavailable for about 15 minutes. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The following realms were opened in this region today, Tuesday, August 27:

We recommend that players looking to avoid queues on Full realms move to one of these new realms for a smoother experience.

Thank you!

Thank you all for testing Classic Alterac Valley with us on Thursday afternoon and posting the feedback above! It was fun to reminisce about the Alterac Valley of olde while we got more information on issues that we can address:

• There were some NPCs (notably Durgen Stormpike) who weren’t the correct level. We’ve fixed this issue and other related bugs players have reported.
• We hear you about the item-level of rewards from Classic AV, and we’re working on increasing them. We’ll let you know what that looks like once we’ve made a final adjustment.
• We really appreciate your feedback on specific NPCs you thought were too easy or too tough, and we’re going to take all of it into account as we make a final tuning pass.

We noticed some players had questions about the specifics of this event battleground that haven’t been answered yet, so here are some additional details:

• Players can queue up from level 10 to level 120, and will be s...

We have opened a new realm in this region:

With many PvP realms currently experiencing significant login queues, we’re bringing an additional realm online to handle demand. We recommend that players looking for a smoother experience move to this new realm.

Thank you!

With a hotfix to WoW Classic a few moments ago, we’ve changed how the realm population labels work in order to display realm populations in a more meaningful way.

How it worked before this hotfix

As we explained here, the system previously calculated the population labels by comparing all realms to the most-populated realm. This could result in a very crowded realm (with a lengthy queue) showing up as “Medium”, since it was being compared to the realm that had the highest population and a potentially massive queue.

How population labels work now

This system now measures each ...
