I'm really surprised Warmane have decided to merge DW+Rag considering the hardware they are currently using is incapable of supporting the entire population they unloaded onto it.
For example, look at Elywnn forest duel area. People use to regularly use this area but now since the server can't handle it's current load anyone in that area will experience frequent lag spikes, some considerably more noticeable than others.
I understand merging the servers like this saved Warmane some money, but if the result is potential donors leaving due to being unable to log on or previous donors leaving due to latency issues.. warmane's income will ultimately take a hit.
This server is not the polished gem it once was. The population increase has been fantastic. But with excessive queue times and obvious latency issues, playing on Icecrown is simply not as enjoyable.
It seems the majority of global chat is people trying to sell their characters, rather than create groups. Personally a little GM intervention here would be welcome.
