World of Warcraft Classic Players Are Forming Giant Lines to Complete Quests

World of Warcraft Classic is now available for a number of folks, and the excitement for a new, old MMORPG apparently cannot be contained. In addition to reports of hours-long queue times just to log into the classic version of the game, there's apparently been some unfortunate side effects throughout: quest clumping. Thankfully, this has seemingly largely led to players forming orderly lines rather than all-out chaos.

What's "quest clumping," you might ask? Well, the game's starter areas have a number of quests that new characters have to progress through in order to continue, and that means that every single newly created character has to go through the exact same steps. This normally wouldn't be a problem, but World of Warcraft Classic has only just launched, and one of the most important details is that it will only accept new characters. Thus, everyone is doing the exact same quests, and clumping up to get them done.

As previously mentioned, however, this appears to have created an amusing side effect where dozens of people line up in order to get there chance at whatever necessary spawn happens to be next on the list, be it a specific character that needs killing or a pitcher of water or anything else. On the plus side, this waiting in line is also liable to be shorted than the wait time in the login queue, so that's nice.
