Blizzard adds two more realms to the WRATH OF THE LICH KING classic.

The most chaotic release in WoW history occurred due to widespread bans,

bad wait times on overloaded servers, and delayed user response time

[{"selector":"#anim-5f90bb19-924f-4fb2-8d0e-c18211420e9a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4e67dace-0b5c-491f-b3c1-e36650944902","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Long wait times remain the largest unsolved issue with WOTLK Classic,

[{"selector":"#anim-e5cd2ad0-d75b-4ad6-8edf-811896cf7578 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.179687404002955%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5d927ec8-4d03-4448-b743-1856aa401d3e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-86de91bd-ef6e-45c9-93da-e6aba5c8f369","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

since many players pay for a membership so they can play all day.

Blizzard announced Sept. 13 two new WOTLK Classic servers

While European servers make Angerforge, they'll create Jindo, a troll world

Blizzard still has work to do until WOTLK Classic achieves the minimal wait times.

[{"selector":"#anim-a582ceac-6246-4945-bd7b-a0fe3fc7d38e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.179687404002955%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9f629a7a-ab5b-435f-8b94-02ddc3f613fa","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-08ad6ddb-d45d-4d53-85ef-4f4d939ff290","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Since Blizzard indicated the wait time could get worse and the price tag for the official global release on Sept. 26 will reach an all-time high

it was vital to fix the long queue and overpopulated servers to ensure a smooth launch.

With good intentions, Blizzard will weigh community complaints and stop this deal-breaking question.
