Since everyone else at my office has this mystery flu which only prevents them from showing up to work, but doesn’t interfere with their home life in any way (and thank God for that), I have to do ALL the work around here, including making the coffee and answering my own phone line. It’s brutal.
The slavelike conditions don’t prevent me from posting this screenshot from the weekend, however (and thank God for that!). Lag in Warcraft is degrading, almost by the hour, despite Team Blizzard’s assurances that they are upgrading the hardware and streamlining the software and whatever hell else they *think* the IT people are doing.
Ironforge is almost impenetrable now when more than 12 people are milling about; the auctioneers are spawning in these goof-ass locations, like in the middle of the room or behind their platforms; and even the chat system grinds to a halt regularly. I don’t want to live if I can’t hear the noobs begging for spare gold.
Really, whatever tinkering is going on over there, stop it. Please, please, stop it.
Ironforge should be instanced.
Ouch – the new hardware on the damned batch of servers seems to be working nicely. Maybe they’ll have to revamp the rest in the same fashion then . . .
In a bitter twist of irony, the low-pop players could start begging to transfer to the newly invigorated hi-pop servers. That’ll learn us for snickering about your problems these past few months.
