No matter what i hope they fix them all. Im on the Kargath server and last night was insane. I am not lying my latency was +120,000ms. It was horrible i couldnt chat or anything. I guess ill find out what they did in about 3 hours and 20 mins.

Imo, you are saying that rolling out the game in more countrys is tied to the ability of blizzard to patch the game.

Rolling it out in Asia only costs Blizzard money to setup servers, maintence etcetc. over there. Theyre not trading in programmers/patchers for the ability to roll out the game in a new continent.
So the rolling out in more countrys doesnt mean that patches take longer or bugs will be fixed slower.
You do dont know **** :P

Argen Dawn is not listed, but I can get in neither, so I am assuming is also down for "maintenance". It logs in, but then it gives me the Realm picking window and stays there. Pretty upset just about now.

Being that it's maintenace day that would be a good assumption so not sure why your upset. lol

Well apparently blizzard has succeeded in confusing people... People forget that it's maintenance day and think that ALL servers are going down... Mmm.. How funny.

I'm glad my server will be up... and at the same time, not. We had some crazy problems Sunday night trying to get a group into UBRS. Our raid had done 10-man LBRS earlier in the day, and a few people stayed in the group while we grabbed dinner and found a few more for Drakkisath. When we tried to return to the instance, a few people went in to find it empty and booting them out, or found themselves in Uldaman O_o

Took a few tries of switching the leader and such before we finally got it to reset, and unfortunately had to clear out the trash mobs again. I hope some of the less problematic servers they can fix during normal maintenance, and the 24-hour downtime will just be for the tougher cases that are left unfinished after the regular downtime.

Well It all takes resources,

Wether it's training the server ops, training CS, managing localization of the client & server, configuring your global billing network,,,,, oh wait, don't some of the lead Dev's go to these rollout parties over seas... well hot dam they do.

I don't know where they got that idea. Oh wait, yes I do.

The following list of realms will be taken down tomorrow for a period of twenty-four hours starting at 5:00AM PDT. We realize that this is inconvenient; however, this downtime is necessary to address the recent issues adversely affecting performance for players on these realms. All World of Warcraft players on these realms will receive a one-day time extension for the downtime caused by this maintenance. All other realms will be brought back up at the normally scheduled time of 11:00AM. We thank you for your patience and understanding.

How much more do you think they spend on bandwidth every month than they do on plane tickets and hotel rooms every year? I'm gonna say 23 times as.

man...
I stick to my statement and you proving it more and more with each post you make.

Wow, whos sock are you btw?
In the work that i do it is one of my functions to roll out software, and a big company would like to do that as efficiently as possible. That means theyll be setting up a entire new team to roll the stuff out, so none of the extra workload comes back to the developers/programmers. It's common practice, ITIL stuff.

And coming to a release party takes so much time! Next thing you know developers want holidays too o.0

- Greater then usual lag eveywhere. Nothing more fun then fighting people and having 'you're facing the wrong direction' when he's right in front of you only to have him reappear 20 yard behind you 5 seconds after.

- Ghost Form issues. Nothing more fun then your corpse not showing on the mini-map and even if you find it, not having the option to rez! And then you try to logout and the game freezes! After login in with a new toon and sending tell to your alt, you're finally able to log back in with the rez option.... only it rez you 5 minutes after you hit accept. Yesterday was the first time I was afraid to die in WoW ;p.

Same things happening to me on Terenas (/wave Blindio). The Zeppelin worked just fine though. I got Aqua form for my Tauren! Yay!
The boats are kinda hit or miss right now. Sometimes you get lucky and arrive at your destination, sometimes not. I actually had that "falling from the sky" experience when I was riding a boat...wierd eh?
Didn't seem so bad yesterday, so maybe it's not that big a fix to need 24hours.

yay woot woot uldam isnt on the list but it still down but i bet itll be back up at 11:00

I have read all the other problems mentioned on the other servers that haven't gotten the 24hr shutdown award and would like to post some things that have been happening on doomhammer and maybe you will see a difference in why it was chosen or perhaps chosen first for super maintenance =P

Several times in one day all of Kalimdor gets logged off and then when people start logging back on they are in a place that they were in about 5 minutes before they were kicked off. (I noticed that it was all of Kalimdor when about 20 people from my guild logged and the ones remaining were on the Eastern Kingdoms)

People have been getting Internal Guild Error messages while trying to open both their mail and Guild list.

I actually fell through the ground in Un'goro Crater after the server was restarted due to all of Kalimdor being kicked off for about the thousandth time. Along with this, several people in my guild have been complaining about getting stuck on a ship and the auto unstuck button doesn't work and also getting dropped off of ships in the ocean where they are left to drown.

After a restart some people decided to go into the Stockades and their Chars got stuck and they weren't able to log onto them anymore so therefore were unable to leave the instance.

This week has been horrible since the last patch. These problems listed don't even include the 20 minute wait to get in every night. This is the first week that we have had a wait list to get into server and I'm not sure what it is due to.(if any1 knows what this is about please tell me =P)
If any1 finds any more problems please post them in reply. Thanks!

I love it how the servers with issues have had them ever since release.

I've had to put up with one of them.
#46 Jul 26 2005 at 10:46 AM Rating: Decent
Once the rest of the servers come back up, I want to start an Orc Shaman on one of the functioning realms just to pass the time and explore another class.

But all my characters are on Alleria, and when I open WoW, the login section says Alleria at the bottom.

Will I be able to log in even though my realm is down? All my character slots are filled and they are all in Alleria, will this be a problem? Can I still delete a toon I never use and start another on a WORKING server?

As bad as it is on the Terenas server, I guess these other servers are having worse problems than us since they are being addressed first.
Either that or they just forgot about us :)

My wife will be happy with this forced break. :D

Specially when I played until 4 am last night (morning?) doing a 5 man run to kill the Baron.

I think I will have a little bit of RL today, maybe watch a movie or so.

My biggest complaint is that I only get Tues. & Wed. off, so every Tues is maintenance day. So I always lose half of days play. Why can't they rotate maintenance days? (just dreaming I guess). And yes Lag has been a killer (Lightbringer server) Boat drops, AH lag, Dying and not being able to find body let alone rez. Lets just hope that they fix these "Minor" problems. LOL
