World Server Down

[TeaLeaf]

What a great lag out on Aszune  :blink:

Even Valve would be proud of that one  :angry:

Aye

Again?  Wow-europe and game servers are down for me.  Anyone know if this is related to the short-notice reboot they carried out at about 11.00pm last night?

I believe they had several issues with their logon servers yesterday. The forum, account management and logon systems were causing big problems. Add to that a serious issue with Warsong Battleground and it wasn't as great day for them. That being said the stability is getting very good now.

Still doesn't make disconnecting from the server much un when you are in the middle of Stratholme !

We still suffer massive IF, AH and mailbox lag on Aszune...........

I was in UBRS two nights ago and was playing with a 2000ms ping for about 20 minutes; I checked my connection and it was not a problem at *my* end or at Hi-V's end - it was at their end of the routing.  Shortly after that and as we approached the boss we were after we got the 'Server will restart' message.  What a waste of time that was  :ranting:

Last night was horrible in IF, on AH and for mailboxes; we went to Scholo and lag wasn;t too bad, ping stayed relatively at about 200ms although we all suffered a couple of big ping spikes (sod's law, just as we pulled the boss mobs in both cases) and I also suffered a DC.

Blizz have some work to do still on Aszune  :angry:

You're describing something that certainly effects Argent Dawn so I'd guess it's not realm specific. The problems in Lagforge are renouned and worrying as Blizzard have admitted they have no idea why it happenes there.

However I rarely suffer from lag spikes elsewhere (except the last couple of nights as discussed).

Surely lagforge is the way it is because everyone is trying to access the same area at the same time?  Mailbox, bank, AH.  Plus the fact that the server is having to plot the movements of potentially a hundred different player characters at the same time?  It was always exactly the same problem in SWG whenever you went to the main capital city in Coronet.  I don't think you can ever expect it to change - It's simply a bottleneck.

I was soloing RFD the other day and that crashed - just the luck of the draw I think Tealeaf.  Sods law that it always happens in instances when you have a great group

Stick to Feralas - much prettier and quieter with none of those drunken dwarfs headbutting each other

Oye Longlegs, I'll have no bad words said about Dwarves. Unless you want to see what my Stormwind Sewer Beast Pet looks like, from the inside! Ye colth wearing flowersniffer!

Ironforge is a unique location. As soon as I get there I always have about 20 sec of freeze and then I can run about the AH/Bank area no problem. It's a pain but as long as you don't move towards the trench before the lag hits you won't find yourself falling in and getting a roasty bottom.

Hmmm, server seems to be down again this morning.  Or is it just me?

[Squonk]

Nope its not you its down

[JonnyAppleSeed]

Bugger no cs last night, no wow now ..... "honey hide the knife draw!"

[TeaLeaf]

After being up at about 6pm, the world server appears now to be down again

[Gandalf]

yup I've started another toon on Thunderhorn. Troll priest.

[TeaLeaf]

Most WoW webpages ground to a halt last night or gave 505 errors, this morning the realm status page shows Aszune as up but I have nto been able to connect.  Anyone else got any news?

[TeaLeaf]

Oh and overnight I see that Azsune has been relisted from a Medium population to a High population server.  :blink:
