Dear community,
since the last 2-3 weeks we are working on a solution to improve the server performance to a point where basically no population based queue is needed anymore and things like server sided lags should be history.
Wow Layering
The solution for that is “layering”. You can find all available information about layering here: https://www.apollo-wow.com/layering/
Layering will be a temporary solution to the current situation and will be disabled again once it is not needed anymore.

Today we could finish our internal testing and we reached a point where we now need a “population” to determine the functionality. Since we are the first private server to ever implement such a mechanic, there is not much data available. Therefore we will need YOU to help us with that and getting rid of the long queue times in the evening.

We will need as many people as possible to make sure that the implementation of layering will cause no issues for your gaming experience. The more people take part in this testing, the faster you will have no queues anymore. 🙂

For a while, I thought that sharding and layering were the same until Blizzard clarified the difference in the WoW Classic AMA a few weeks ago. Layering will be a temporary solution to the current situation and will be disabled again once it is not needed anymore. Today we could finish our internal testing and we reached a point where we now need a “population” to determine the functionality. World of Warcraft Classic players are asked if they would like to see a return of server layering to help fight the game's long server queues. By Denny Connolly Apr 13, 2020 Share Share Tweet Email. Layering in Classic WoW Recently, Game Director Ion Hazzikostas talked about layering in Classic WoW. This is a limited form of sharding, invented specifically for the launch of Classic. Instead of sharding the zones, their plan is to shard the entire continent at launch.
