Plans for a new WOTLK server?

[Deathmastered]

This is funny because the realm is unstable right now ^^

Realm being unstable and realm being restarted is not the same. Just saying.

WRATH OF THE LICH KING UPDATE
June 6, 2016
Icecrown is being updated with latest fixes including a rework of the Dungeon Finder.

[AnduAlex]

yep unfortunately after that merge, the new realm is destroyed.. no uptime more than few hours maximum..

[JeeF]

Sorry but that's not the case. Before the merge I could always play for god-knows how many straight hours without any issues.

After the merge it's not the same. I'm often getting kicked out of the server and have trouble logging back in.

Ragnaros and Deathwing were merged because of community's request to do with this reason behind it

you are on crack sir. that is all.

you are on crack sir. that is all.

Not sure what does "to be on crack" mean.

JeeF, let's hope it's just a matter of time till server crashes are fixed.

Appreciate you sharing your opinion, but the intent of this topic is to get some feedback from an admin/developer.

Are there plans for a new high-rates WOTLK server?

Without actually massive queues, possibly both on Icecrown and Lordaeron, to justify it? I doubt it. If we can work on having a stable population of 12k, that should be our aim, not increasing costs by having two servers at half their capacity.
Crashing issues will be dealt with, as has happened on Lordaeron, but hardly used as a reason to basically undo what we just did and split the population again.

Jeef, that still doesnt change my point - why would any of them be interested in opening new wrath realm, if they just combined 2 of them into 1...

There are many who don't like the result of the merge, one of them is me, here are the facts: low fps, extream latency when server full 200 ms at this very moment comapred to 40 ms on old deathwing 200 is unacceptable, unplayable i demand performance, server is to crowded like you say max should be 6k, warmane servers can't handle the population without ruining the latency, not all have super PCs and get low fps, I was expecting a much lower que for bgs after the merge but nothing changed 12 k players and still over 10 min solo ques, not to mention other personal stuff i don t like, The merge has broth me no improvement at all, on contrary. But majority of kids are just ....pamparampampampam they prefer to ignore stuff...what you expect from kids uuuu new candy lets try it. WARMANE ! where is the improvement? there is no improvement here, as stupid as this might be it's true, spliting the realms back as they where is the right move and trust me players that restarted playing wow and they are alot or the ppl that quit other expansions to come on the WOW new icecrown with 12k players will not quit after there will still be over 5k on each realm and everyone can play in low latency big fps and ...not being frustrated of the overcrowded server with long q for enter game and to many farming same mine or what ever, you got the population number bursting and they ain't going anywhere, the core looks promising the only problem is the high population as stupid as it sounds. So if you do care about what ppl whant and not just ... you will split the realm in 2 again or go into the future and steal a more bad *** server that can handle this kind of population at least then we won t lag even tho we will still have low fps and overcrowded places, but the most important thing for me is PERFORMANCE and that s lame rigfht now

a) low fps? I haven't dropped on Icecrown under 20 fps.
b) extreme latency? Since new core update I haven't had over 60 fps ever. Most of the times around 40ms.
c) it does have crashes, but in long term there is hope for them to be fixed.
d) way more people looking for raids and making raids, more filled auction houses, lower prices (because of how economy works)
e) shorter bg queues (and now hopefully rdf queues will be short as well)
f) the goal is to have on one realm as close to cap as possible (not big queue, not small population), which is currently successful. Want to skip it? You know how to do it.

you can go drop dead with your lame a b c replays, let a dev answer that, you can t even tell the diff between fps and ms never the less the real latency that's posted on information not ingame, bg ques are the same long and hard, about fps I allready explaing that not all have same pc but you are a m"u"ron and understand shot. so when you wana comment again about a post go tell it to your mumy.

Please let's not be aggressive, everyone is entitled to an opinion.

The way I feel is: I decided to join Warmane and SUPPORT it (donated over 250$) cos I liked the fact the population was around 3-4k on peak hours. I loved being able to go mine Titanium without much competition. The player amount was decent, not too much and not too little, could always find people to do stuff. So I join and supported THAT, not this. I can't have my money back, and what I supported changed.

In my view, having 15k players split into 2 servers and all 15k playing simultaneously is way better than 12k playing and 3k waiting in line to join. It's painful when only half of your guild can login for ICC and the other half is in queue. The decent thing to do from an administrative point of view is to wait a bit and see if the numbers keep up above 12k often, and if that is true, add a second server. Forcing people to donate so they can skip queue is a douche move, and unfortunately very common.

Don't forget we're all playing for free here. A one time donation is the least we can do for all the years we can play here. (and no i don't get a % from the donations...)

My computer is 4 years old and I'm sitting on 60fps in Dalaran. Hell, I don't even see my fps degrade after idling there anymore. My latency has not changed at any time. All of the realms crash, get used to it, life only gets harder. BG queues are the same on Alliance because that's all you guys do, I can sit on Horde and instant queue with a premade.

As for the rest of your spew..
