World of Warcraft

Remember, WoW has an in-game mail system.  You can right-click on any mailbox (found in front of inns and banks) and send a letter to someone even if they are not logged in at the time.  Its a good way to let someone know you are trying to contact them or to let them know when you are planning to be on.

It does take an hour for them to recive the mail though.

Heh, looks like the MT servers wont be as empty as we thought, Blizz sent all the Auzzies to the MT servers and I guess they've been down for the past few hours and the times they're up have horrible lag and waiting time.

I had a pretty good evening of play until around midnight, when it got so laggy that it actually crashed my computer at one point. I don't think this is related to population, however, because it was still list as "Low" every time I logged back in. Eventually the whole world was just empty, and all you could do was run around and chat with invisible players. It looks like they've fixed that problem this morning, but they definitely need more servers.

The mountain servers were down from about 2 am to 5 am.

I think i'm going to try playing on the new PVP server they brought up today for Mountain Time, its Nathrezim or something like that, should have lower population, hopefully that will help the lag issues they are having now.  I'm not going to erase my toons on Kel'Thuzad just yet...but if the new one works out...

[Spriggan]

any word on when they're adding a RP server on the Mountain servers?

[Nytwalker]

OK, didn't help to switch to another server.  A Blizzard forum post stated that current lag problems were not directly related to server population, it is a database issue.  So, back to Kel'Thuzad I go.

My PQ character is up to lvl 75, and he has a +58 dancing, stabbity pole axe!

(I just wanted to take part in the conversation, and I figured chastising you all for buying ANOTHER mmorpg was probably a waste of time.)

[Spriggan]

Hey, I haven't bought it yet.  Though I probaly will sometime.

Weird, my PQ level is 75th level, and has +75 Stabbity, dancing pole axe. do you think they did that on purpose?

Hey, some of us have hobbies besides writing (I know that is a hard concept for you).

My brother and I have more or less plotted to buy each other the game for Christmas, so I won't be around for a while. Hopefully by then things will be a little more settled.

I feel for you Nyt, just found out goon squad from closed beta in on your server, so ya let the griefing begin (they were one of the worst in CB, behind DIE).  It's also lame when 3/4 of a servers population is all the same guild.  Also Blizz said today the dishonarble system only works with NPCs that are lower level then you, killing a low level PC does not effect a high level in any way.  The flood gates have oppened.

I started an undead warrior on Azjol-Nerub, a non-PVP that seems to have fewer lag issues than Kel'Thuzad. We'll see how it goes.
