World of Warcraft: Forever players are reliving 2004 with hour-long queue times to get into the highly-anticipated beta
Blizzard says it's working on getting everyone in as soon as possible.
Blizzard released the WoW: Forever beta today, but players are encountering significant queue times. After a live Q&A, the servers were turned on, and some players experienced a nine-minute wait before being disconnected and placed at the back of another queue. This issue appears to be affecting multiple players and streamers. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a workaround for the queue, and players must simply wait patiently.
WoW: Forever operates differently from previous iterations as it does not utilize realms or servers. Instead, players select a ruleset (normal, PvP, or Roleplay) and join the same server as others. This design choice may contribute to the current queue problems. Although Wowhead and others have been analyzing the game's files, detailed information about WoW: Forever is still scarce.
Players can explore the new class talent trees and preview reworked armor sets while waiting for their turn to play. The beta is set to remain available until October 21 before Blizzard refines it for the November 4 launch.
