24-August-2014
Late yesterday afternoon, there was a major Blizzard disconnect across many realms. My low-level new iron died as a result. No biggie since no real time invested in it. Today got the re-rolled iron to 22, just logged at 9:15 pm (EST) to say hi and maybe do 1-2 quests. Mid-way thru a fight with a worgen, lag spiked to 3300 ms for both home/world. Fortunately, the NPC died, but it took forever to stealth off to a safe spot and log. Could easily have died again thanks to Blizzard.
Come on Bliz,we pay you enough, get your infrastructure house in order. Imagine what it will be like in November when WoD is released and interest spikes.
Bad enough we have to put up with CRZ / merged realm issues.
/rant=off
:- )
In meantime, be ready to log if lag starts to spike...

I'm just glad you didn't die again! And I'm glad I didn't die doing the last few quests to 90 on Ferriona. I had the same lags spikes as you yesterday - very scary .
I was on the Timeless Isle last night on another realm and it was a lagfest as well. General chat was full of not-happy people. Blizz really does need to get it together, since as you say, it's going to get worse with more people playing.

Oh lord it wasn't just me - I usually play with 200ms (impossible to lower it due to those pesky laws of physics) but I thought it was being a little slow. Then I was riding across Tanaris on my ultra pacifist when she had her first dc ever since our internet was fixed. Aaaagh!
I actually got my other lame ass toon that died and went and cleared, with difficulty, everything in the vicinity (with another dc) before logging back on, just in case she was actually still alive. Which she was. Hearthed out to safety and switched off for the night.
At the moment I'm managing about a level a week it seems, just about to ding 46, there's no way I'm starting another strict pacifist toon if this one dies.

Metal's lvl 25 iron died tonight (Monday), again due to lag. General chat in SW was weird, they suspected a DDOS, due to a big raid against the final boss. Speculation the DDOS was to interrupt the raid or to make it harder for people killed/DC'ed during it.
Either way, Bliz, come on, fix your networks. We're dying here.
