Sharding will be in the game forever. It's going to be worse at launch, but a year from now it's still going to be a regular feature in the game. You aren't just going to notice it on launch.

Sharding has been in every classic version. Launch is the only time zones will be as packed, eventually things like this will stop happening.

You guys don’t understand the tech, and because of that you don’t understand the obvious reasons why it’ll be a nonissue like a week after launch.

Sharding has never been in classic wow. You're thinking of layering, which is the whole realm being split into a layer. Sharding is each zone. They use sharding in retail. Maybe go and research the tech you seem to know so much about brotha.

Functionally it’s the same thing twin. This doesn’t happen in retail. Pontificate on why.
