Is your WoW server like this

Borzak · 01-02-2006, 11:41 AM

It started about 2 weeks ago - I guess the kiddies were on christmas break and we started hitting ques which I fully expected.

But about two weeks ago we started summoning the 20 man raid bosses in silithus and every time we did it the whole contintent would crash. So that went one for a while.

Last week we wiped on Onyxia because we had too many new people in fill in spots because of the holidays and when we zoned back into the instance there was horde there (I play alliance on a pvp server - azgalor) so there was some pvp in the instance (got hk's even) and then the whole server crashed.

Yesterday we cleared a few bosses in ZG and then the zone crashed - when we came back the instance had reset with all the mobs respawned etc...

So we blow off ZG and run off to farm some instances - then EVERY instance on the server crashed at once and everyone fell thru the world. You know that big open flat space you fall too when you fall thru the world - it was corpses as far as you could see for 200 feet thick at least.

So are we just the only server this has been happening too or is has this been pretty common lately?

Now that's something worth taking screenshot over. So, where is it?

I really thought we had the worst server ever.

Which server is this? I may have believed this about a year ago, but I haven't seen anything like this lately.

Borzak · 01-02-2006, 11:58 AM

I didn't take one I was too busy bitching over vent about it. I was already steamed because of our rollback on ZG which reset the bosses. Someone mentioned taking a SS I'll post soon as they do (our guild website is down today).

Azgalor - just started about the time we hit ques from people logging in for the holidays and stuff. Before that we never had problems even going back to when the game went public and they were splitting servers all the time. We're a pvp server but we're almost always listed as either High population or full.

Zehn - Vhex · 01-02-2006, 12:02 PM

That's pretty fucked up to have all that happen at once. Someone must be using your server as a footstool with their space boots.

Well yesterday we did Onyxia. Everything seemed fine. I won the Head - ported back to Orgrimmar - and turned it in. No dragonslayer buff or yell. So we go on to ZG, clear it, port back to Orgrimmar, and all of a sudden the NPC yells - but still no buff.

So I log on my DE bitch to get the dust for my shiny new Aegis of the Blood God. I'm stuck at the "retrieving character" list for about 10 minutes. I cancel out. I look in the server select screen and Mal'Ganis isn't even listed. I ask in vent if anybody had any problems - they bitched about lag but still were in game. I completely cancelled out of game and logged back in. Got stuck at the retrieving character screen again. 10 minutes later it popped up. I log on my DE bitch, take 5 minutes for the trade screen to accept, log off, then it takes 10 more minutes to finish with the retrieving character screen.

This only happens once every few months though.

Aggramar had insane queues last night (600ish). It has always been high pop, but I have been on there for months without seeing a queue until maybe a week ago or so. There also seems to be a huge number of new players on Aggramar. I take censuses quite regularly and there is a huge spike from about lvl 1 to lvl 20.

Stormscale is pretty solid. Haven't any issues there aside from holiday downtime etc.

Bixxby · 01-02-2006, 01:15 PM

Dragonmaw has been laggy as shit the last week or two. Also, retrieving characters takes 5-10 minutes every single time. Pretty piss poor.

elrich · 01-02-2006, 01:26 PM

Well, to show the other side, Destromath just recently started occassionally getting queues, sometimes as many as 10 people!

The server itself is surprisingly solid as well, never had any problems with it.

Kolle · 01-02-2006, 02:25 PM

they must have sold a lot of boxes and had plenty of account creations the over the holidays

6 new servers and I guess 2 more on patch day

Marauder · 01-02-2006, 02:47 PM

All of the 10 or so Nefarian killing guilds on our server have not passed Vaelastrasz this week because the lag makes it impossible to down him.
Probably another million got the game last week. Blizzard of course won't realize this until Thanksgiving.
