I remember those days... Bloodhoof queue never got seriously bad, but I do remember some long games of "Hold the raid up just a little bit longer, please!!"That's nothing. I remember seeing queue positions of 20,000 back in vanilla.
Blizzard has been posting hourly updates on steps they are taking to improve stability and reduce queues. Recent updates include:
- US and EU maintenance was completed and added capacity by phasing all of Draenor and upgrading server hardware.
- Realm population caps were raised to normal levels in the US and EU once again.
- Realm population caps were then increased above the old normal capacity in the US and EU.
- Realm population caps are now double what they were yesterday.

Absolutely, especially after Mists of Pandaria's 570k health mobs. Leveling in MoP was such a drag...I have finally reached 100, this was by far the best level experience of any expansion

They got DDoS'd and also forgot to set a server population cap when the update hit. That's why the servers had to go down.
As for the expansion, I keep looking over my shoulder and considering jumping into WoW again. I played it for almost a decade, but I know I don't have time to do end game raiding like I used to. It looks shiny and new and "better", but the last thing I did was get cooking to 600 and get the "Farmer" title. Not sure I'll ever have the patience for such things again. It looks good though

Like the recent US release of Archeage with 10+ hour queues. Got better after a few servers were added.
