Overcrowding is a huge problem in World of Warcraft's Cataclysm as players try to fight to race to level 85 to begin the long campaign against Deathwing. Avoid the crowds with five helpful tips and more as we look at overcrowding, the return of the queues, and more here at Ten Ton Hammer.

The first thing to do is to say to yourself “I will not be the server’s first to 85.” I do not want to be a major downer, but if you have the time to read an article online then likely you won’t be able to race past those who haven’t slept since launch or you're on a server where that title has already been given (much like mine). The next thing is to understand that if you’re a few days behind others in getting to 85 it doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t be raiding. Everyone needs time to gear up, get settled at their new level, and work toward the new content. So the race is not nearly as bad as most think it is.

Five Ways to Deal with Overcrowding in WoW is now available here at Ten Ton Hammer.
