Tonight is the first raid night after another Tuesday maintenance and last week of non-stop maintenance. God I hope you’re right and it’s all fixed!

Lag has been pretty rough for my guild on Silvermoon. We were already having attendance issues, but lag completely killed our raiding for a few weeks. We raid on Tuesdays, so are used to that night having problems after “maintenance,” but lately it’s been every single night of the week at peak hours. Sunday it seemed like things were finally fixed….I guess we’ll find out tonight!

In any other business, in any other walk of life, this buying experience (and we are buying game time) would ensure that customers walk away in their droves!

Blizzard, however, have always always operated on the assumption that we have no option. Fair enough, but it’s a dangerous game they are playing.

Get it sorted Blizzard! Your popularity score is in single figures…..

I agree about Blizzard pushing patches out too fast. I have yet to set foot in ICC, other than a few rep runs, while guilds are already taking shots at the Lich King. Maybe I heard wrong, but I -thought- there was suposed to be about a month in between the new raids. It seems like more like 1-2 weeks. Then people complain about the next part being too hard, when they have only cleared the previous part once or twice. There is no way any guild can get all the gear they need from a raid in a couple weeks. Personally, I would rather wait longer between patches, and have the time to experience the current content at my own pace, than feel rushed into things that I am just not ready for.
As far as the lag issues, I’m just very grateful I have characters on multiple servers. For example, I got so sick of the lag on Feathermoon that I switched over to Gilneas, and discovered there was almost no lag there at all. /Score

OMG just the thought that there might be Oceanic servers somewhere in the southern hemisphere (located in Asia, Australia, Fiji – I seriously don’t care) is somewhat of a relief.

I guess I don’t associate this week’s maintenance with fixing whatever is wrong with Barthilas – because it’s been in trouble for some time.

Better spam that Report Lag button more often, I suppose.

Blizzard certainly have a funny definition of “maintenance”. I often wonder how a company with this many subscribers couldn’t have a decent way of simulating how their servers will perform under load. It seems they just do whatever it is they do and then turn them on, oblivious to the fact that the servers have actually regressed. Very strange.

Another thing that bugs me is the way Blizzard lump multiple big changes into great big patches, I think this increases everyone’s burden unnecessarily. Remember patch 2.3 which got held back for weeks (months even?) because the in-game Voice Chat feature still needed work? That’s just unnecessary. I don’t use that feature still. UI changes, class changes, and new content are 3 things that they should work on releasing separately instead of lumped together.

There’s a big patch coming that will simultaneously change all the items in the game and change our talent trees and abilities. I’m willing to bet that even though it has nothing to do with it, these changes will be held back until Battle.net 2.0 is ready. Why? Because they aren’t related and Blizzard loves pulling that sort of crap.

I’ve heard rumours that they are preparing physically-proximal Oceanic servers for Cataclysm. If that’s the case (and it’s a big “if”) then we just need to hang in there.

That said, I’m in a bit of a similar mood. I just installed BioShock 1 & 2 and I skipped a few days of holiday boss farming without feeling like I missed out on good WoW time.

Luckily, I have never had lag on such as scale as you have to deal with (and for so long!)

I can easily see how that would suck all the fun right out of the game Hopefully things will start getting better soon, so you can enjoy your gaming time again!
