was too busy shooting folks to check my ping but 40+ when I was watching it after the initial inrush
Your own ping is not affected by server lag
Shush up now little one, the work is done.
lol, the ending was greatā¦ I managed to stay alive until shut down!
That was a lot of fun!
Yes any large pvp in wow has 100% always been unplayable. This is pretty much a known limit in wow. 500 people in one spot pvping is just a lag fest of waiting on spells to cast.

It was definitely a lot of FUN! I did both days of Launch Test. Only thing I personally did not enjoy at all was that it took place on a PvP server. And the huge amounts of lag at the Dark Portal.
On the first day I came in as a 58 Belf Pally, died 6 times just trying to reach the Dark Portal. Then all these Fel Reavers spawned in Blasted Lands at the Dark Portal, definitely making it challenging avoiding them to finally step through. On the Outland side of the portal, seeing all the bosses at the flight master from Hyjal raid, and then in Thrallmar having Hakkar from ZG, Illidan Stormrage, and more Hyjal bosses around was pretty epic! I even saw that KelāThuzad was out there in Honor Hold in my chat window. I took all kinds of screenshots to save.
On day 2 of testing I copied this same Alliance warrior Iām responding to this thread with over to the Launch Test realm. Staying alive before the portal opened was easier this time around. But what made the time excruciatingly LONG before the portal opened were morons posting in LFG channel to āinv to asmon layerā every nano-second, ruining the experience of even finding a group to do any content with. Which was probably their point/objective. 
There did seem to be a pre-patch event quest available at the dark portal to kill 6 Felguards and 6 Voidwalkers, but when I tried to work on it (despite the PvP), the Felguard kills never registered to the quest. I should have submitted an F6 bug report and screen-shotted my combat log, as I saw that I had killed at least 3, but it never showed up in my quest that I had killed them. Then going through the Dark Portal and trying to work on the Outland quests (that Iām very familiar with), it was PVP HELL to deal with. Others might find that type of PvP griefing fun, entertaining, making themselves feel ābadassā, but I personally have zero desire to play in those reindeer games. So I went and checked out Shattrath, The Exodar, and some other new zones before returning to Honor Hold for the Fel Reaver and KelāThuzad show. And this time, they didnāt bring KelāThuzad in. Just Emeryss. I was really looking forward to seeing KT. 
All-in-all, I enjoyed being at the Launch Test though. Thanks for having me! Itās going to be super crazy! Iām a deep prot warrior tank over on the Pagle realm, so feel free to hit me (Korvaine-Pagle US - Alliance) up for some dungeon runs. Iāll be following the Attunement Guide from Wowhead, but using this video to work on rep while leveling. Iām not in any T3 gear (more T2 gear), but Iāll be putting even more effort into TBC than I did in Classic.
