1) They did not plan on so many subscriptions (no one would) and are opening new servers on an almost weekly basis.

2) Most of the issues are data base problems.

3) I agree there are no excuses and hope they get it together.

I don't think moving is the right decision.

1. It's bad everywhere, even worst on Central and West Coast.
2. Our server doesn't go down as many as others.
3. There is good compeition and friends built up here.

We'll see what happens.

EQ2 was the same way, they only opened with 8-10Servers initally, and well with 350k users logging on weekly, all the beginning servers were all overpopulated. 1-2Months later every server got the option to transfer to a pre-designated "new" Server. Which wasn't too bad because you were leaving one server community to start another. I would never leave because of the people and community I was friends with and i'm sure it's the same for you guys in wow. What still amazing is I know 10k people are still on my sever and because of entire zone instancing everything runs SUPER smooth even with overpopulation.

I dunno, there seem to be alot of problems with BH compared to other servers. The main problem with the server transfer going on is that, if everyone expects everyone else to leave, then noone is going to leave, and nothing is going to change. My guys like the friends they've made and the people on the server, but the server itself sucks. There is always tons of latency because of the huge population (I want to say it's like the third highest in pop PvP wise out of all of them), the server crashes with regularity, now, it may not be one of the servers that requires 18+hours of fixing per week, thank god, but still, I have yet to go a week without the server fucking up at least for a few hours one day. We might wait it out at first to see whats up, since I'm assuming that the server xfers will be one time and won't be limited to a specific time frame, but if the quality of our server doesn't increase we are probably going to find another server to play on.

I agree last night on a fucking weekday night the queue gets up to 400+ people. I had a problem where I kept getting DC'd and I spent about 2 hours in the queue last night. Needless to say it sucked balls. I know all our friends are here but we could try to convince them to transfer with us.

God, our server has crashed every night since the patch at least 3 times since I've been online. And right now it's one of the FOUR servers in the game that needed to be taken down for emergency maint. This makes me a sad panda.

Give Mythic credit, DAOC servers were never this bad, .even in the first couple months. And I don't think DAOC RVR was as laggy. Yes frontiers could be laggy initially, but only when we'd have zerg vs zerg. I don't think WoW can handle zerg vs zerg yet.
