I have heard of people who used to play everquest and would leave there characters logged in all the time. I'm just kind of wondering if people are doing this with WoW too or are liekly to start doing it. It strikes me that if people start doing this, that it could make some of the servers really jammed up. All it will do really is make the queue situation worse. Probably not an issue if you play on one of the less busy servers, but it could be an issue on the more popular ones.
I don't actually own the game and so can't notice for myself if people are doing this. Of course, since I can't play, it also doesn't really affect me. Still, I was curious and so I'm asking. I'm also wondering how the rest state stuff would work with this. I figure that if they leave there character in a town then when they come back it should at least be rested. I don't know if you can get to well rested while being logged in, but it doesn't seem like leaving their characters logged in for extended periods while they are gone would really hurt their progress any.
