Why are the servers so unstable?

I play on Moon Guard and the servers are stupid unstable. There’s a latency issue despite my latency being fine. Everyone is complaining about it in general chat. It just blows my mind that the servers are in such poor conditions despite us paying MONTHLY for this game.

I’m not going to crap on this game, I love the game but I’m disappointed with Blizzard. This is not the quality you would pay for… This is the “Can I speak to your manager” quality.

It’s a maintenance day that included a lot of changes.

I’ve not had a problem with server stability for years. Maybe the problem is you op? I assume you’ve run tracert’s and the like to make sure the problem isn’t a transit issue yes?

I have some problems now since 8.3 that I didn’t have before.

No issues with servers here. The invasions zones still lag on Tuesdays though. Geuss that’s just life at this point. Not a server issue though, at least not something you could call “instability.”

It’s not just me. Everyone is experiencing it and complaining about it. Considering there’s about a 5-10 second delay in things.

Yesterday the Horde attacked the SW portal room and nearly crashed our server. In my opinion, this is completely unacceptable.

Most be you because I played for about 3 hours today and never noticed an issue.

Neat. Would you please post the results of your tracert? If it’s a server issue, it’ll show up.

The moonguard problem is because some people are insisting on no sharding.

On Moonguard?

WRA doesn’t shard and I don’t experience 10 second lag.

Never had a problem on Moonguard or any of the servers I play on.

I can’t comment on your server but I play on Moonguard and there have been times during events in SW, that you literally cannot complete quests.

They have stated that they will turn on sharding to fix these issues though.

I will happily post it but how do I get it to check the connection to the game?

a route trace has nothing to do with the server - that is your connection route to the server. If there is a game problem that says nothing.

Didn’t they not enable it to preserve the RP element of the server? I guess they could shard them with other RP servers maybe.

They removed sharding because of RPers. However, many times it is needed.

Naz was the only place I was getting lag today. Lagging so bad that when I picked Zin I had a 50/50 chance for it to end up in the mailbox rather than my inventory.

RP servers don’t have sharding in older zones.

Most people. In fact, all of the roleplaying community asked for this. And we are very grateful for it.

Temporarily for large events, yes. But that’s all you’ll get.
