[quote name='Roufuss']Ever since they upgraded their servers about 2 months ago, I haven't experienced this stuff at all anymore. I can get into high population servers without a line 95% of the time at peak hours (I play on Warsong, one of the biggest), and I believe that PvP lag people are experiencing is simply their comps choking.
I've done 40 vs 40 PvP large scale battles in Tarren Mill and have barely lagged.
The problems you listed were a big issue at launch, but they are largely fixed now.[/QUOTE]
Yes, i will have to admit (at the risk of being flamed), that they are improving things serverwise. Months ago I couldn't even play on the weekends due to server problems, now that has largely changed. Whole servers that would entirely crash for a day or two after routine maintainence patches now rarely happen. Lag has been greatly reduced.
I find a majority of the people who have quit this game did so because of server instability problems in the early release of the game. However, they never seem to take into account that all MMORPGs have issues like this in their initial release...its the price you pay for being the first ones on a new game.
Also, alot of people are complaining about endgame content being nonexistant in WoW, comparing it with games like EQ, FFXI, and don't take into account that those games are years old, unlike WoW which is just starting out. It will get bigger!
Also, I've heard people complain because OMFG IT DOESNT HAVE CUTSCENES IN IT. So what? Every MMORPG I've played that has cutscenes in it, i've always been annoyed by people in my party messaging me during it, "are you done yet? hurry up! why are you standing there?" or random party member: "why can't we skip this stupid cutscene?" Cutscenes are overrated.
Also, I think Blizzard REALLY needs to change thier minimum/recommended settings for the game that is listed on the box. Everyone I've know that plays using these settings often cause other people to lag because their underpowered pc chokes. The specs need to listed higher...and 56K? WTF? Why is this even allowed? Is this a joke...i don't even see how this game is even possibly playable over dialup with out tremendous lag for the user.
