We were hoping you wouldn't find out and you'd log on to an empty guildchat

Mal'ganis had a login Queue tonight as well during primetime.

Good luck with that.
We had queues of over 1000 immediately after our server transfer finished.

We left an extremely old server, EU Burning blade was a closed beta server and frankly was falling to bits.
It was originally a 600queue but we had TWO outgoing migrations that pushed the population down to the point where we didnt have queues. Unfortunately we noticed that even with no queues the server would lag and crash incessantly, it could take up to 15 minutes to retrieve an item from the mail box even at midnight and no queue, it was very comman for more than half of a raid to crash on entering the tunnel from Huhuran to Fankriss as well.

Essentially the hardware was completely borked so on the third migration the entire population left lock stock and barrel to a new server and new hardware. When I say everyone left I mean there were 8 people in IF at primetime immediately following the migration, every single guild capable of runnning 20 or 40man instances left. Blizzard were given warning of this, infact there were several posts on the realm and the generalm forum of the EU Blizard forums, and despite repeated warnings time and time again they still acted suprized when they had to close the migrations a day early with queues at over 1000.

The really sad thing was that, even with a queue of 1000, the new server ran 100times better than the old server.

Given that blizzard cant manage to control migrations even given weeks of advance warning, I would not hold my breath over them limiting migrations to popular servers until far too late.

You guys are slow, I already made that joke.

sargeras is now seeing ever growing queues each day now also. Does anyone know if they are going to continue with free transfers or will this be the only way to get off of servers with 30 minute log in queues?

kayakyakr · 07/07/06, 1:39 PM

rumor is that the player limit was temporarily lowered to control lag during transfer and world event moments. Or something like that. It's no biggie.

oh yeah, hi jerks, let's be friends again.

Are you the same GS that infested Kel'Thuzud Alliance side right after release?

Falcon24 · 07/07/06, 1:49 PM

Considering that he listed his server as Mal'ganis I would be tempted to say no. I don't know the internal politics of Goon Squad these days, but I'm fairly sure that GS Alliance on Kel'thuzad and GS Horde on Mal'ganis are completely separate entities.

kayakyakr · 07/07/06, 2:15 PM

separate entities... we share website space, but that's the extent of it.

occassionally our hunters go and invade their hunter's message board and post some crappy thread about drugs, but that's another story.

to be fair, we're much larger than they are, though, sadly caught somewhere between a hardcore raiding guild and a casual kill the occasional new boss guild.

Oh that explains why Ironforge looked 500% larger than from when I quit. I want to eventually transfer my Priest off that shithole of a server to Altar of Storms :/
