Guess I'm working from home on Monday to snag names on Westfall, lol.
Mein Fragala, you are the best! I bet by the time we hit Westfall it will be filled too.
I really don't expect this interest in Classic to last, because, for a lot of WOW Players who never played Vanilla before, it's going to seem "too hard."
What do others think?
Tell you what - if I start seeing streams of World First's for Ragnaros on YouTube, I'll have to eat those words.
I am aware of at least 6 guilds that are already planning their race to be first on a Rag kill. One of those has this idea that they can get it done by day 7 live. They are an extreme minority thinking that it can be done that quickly. The more believable groups are thinking that it might done in the 8 to 10 day time frame.
i am also expecting the Westfall server to reach a full cap prior to launch. but the question will be how many of those that cause it to cap are going to due to players hedging their bets as to which server will end up with better queue times.

The first hour of this video has two of the lead developers answering some questions about classic. There are several questions about the launch, queue times and expectations about player load on the servers. A quick rundown of some points are that the queue time will get better after the player base begins to spread out. Even half the player spreading out from Northshire Abby to across Elwynn Forest is expected to have a significant reduction on the server load and the corresponding queue time.
