WoW Servers.

As mentioned all European servers are in Paris, and its well known that speeds can be quite fluctuating and depending on your ISP you can have a mate next door and because you are with a different ISP your latency can be hugely different.

Not quite true, almost but not quite...

Blizzard operate three datacentres in Paris, two in Frankfurt and one in Hamburg for WoW.

You didn't think they would put all their eggs in one basket did you? :D

Right I just took a look at the population on the Outland server and it is absolutly terrible, how you can PvP on that I dont know.. 87% Horde 13% alliance... that one is not for me.

Info taken from http://www.warcraftrealms.com/

EDIT: Outland is a fairly new server too... DAMN!! if only the population was more balanced.

EDIT2: OK so the data from that website isn't as acurate as first thought as data is submitted by users and apparently not enough people submit data on Outland server... why cant these things be simply to choose! :(

Early days Twilight's Hammer just after they opened transfers to it was like that, but in favour of Alliance. You literally couldn't leave friendly territory if you were Horde and not get jumped by groups of 4 or 5 Alliance. Even Orgrimmar was camped for much of the time. If you want to play on a PvP server, try and get one that's 60:40 in your favour if you're Alliance (they need the numerical advantage) or 50:50 if you're Horde.
 
I played on bladefist from the Euro release of wow then migrated to outland along with most of the server and played there until I quit the game a few months back.

Outland had a pretty balanced pop when I stopped playing, the ratio was probably slightly in the alliance's favour but nothing too drastic and was always a high pop server. One thing to watch out for is that a few people I know who still play have mentioned that there are now queues to get on outland at peak times due to lots of paid transfers to the server and no one wanting to leave on free migrations.

Thats what I am looking for, coming from US-Mug'thol it was a pretty balanced/even server where I had a lot of fun PvPing. However Outland's stats are not accurate so I have no idea if I should play there or not.

And no clue on queue times for Arena and BG on that server worries me. Anyone able to answer that in regards to queue times?
 
Hmm, I still like wow if I'm being honest, just have little time to play it. Might take a look at it again when I see what the expansion is like.
 
Ive just started playing the free trial to see the the fuss is all about and so far at level 9 i cant see why people get so hooked, FFXI dragged me in much quicker

WoW is just boring me a bit...spose its because i dont know anyone yet
 
I too played for about a month and got to level 28 i think with a NE Hunter. It was good, but i hated having to run back and forth across a huge area just to be told that i needed to go back where i came from. It probably gets better when you hit level 40 and get a mount though.

Raiding looks pretty fun when you get in a good enough guild, but its annoying that everyone i tried for required you to be level 70. Couldn't find any casual guilds that allow lower levels to join and build up.

I was a bit like that when I started my trial, couldn't see what all the fuss was about, but by the end of the trial, I started to enjoy it and wanted to go further and see it all. :s

They slowly rope you in. Towards the end of the trial it is known that players begin to see flashing images appear on the screen, so fast you dont notice but it happens so often it gets stuck into your head... forcing you to pay-to-play.

They have started this with the Mr T adverts on TV recently.

EDIT: My brother took my suggestion of "trying" Outland as to level his ass without me. I think I should log on and tell him wrong ******* faction!!

I got like that from playing the BETA of it before the game was released. Even though I wasnt a high level (lv 16 or something warlock) i enjoyed every minute of it as everyone on the beta was either around my level or vastly higher as some people went mental with it lol.

Even though i loved leveling on a PVP realm I hated it at 60 as everytime i went to a raid I spent a daft amount of time being killed by the opposite factions. I loved the amount of polish which TBC brought to the new areas and made PVP abit more worth while and that drew me in a lot more into the game.

I keep talking myself out of starting it all over again hehe. Especially with the new expansion coming out on the 18th january eeep. Loved the community on hellscream and anachronos, thats why I played the game for such a daft amount of time as I use to have crazy chats with friends along the way. Very social orientated game, I leveled to 60 on my first character from lv 9 with a german guy called frank, we use to meet at the time same per day and log at the same time in the same place so we didnt lose track of each other, GREAT fun.

Wish i had the time to do it all again haha,

Such absolute rubbish, i'm sorry. This ridiculous theory that all alliance players are 12 years old and all Horde players are married with kids is really stretched thin. And that's coming from someone who moved away from Horde to Alliance because the Horde were a bunch of whinging, over competitive sladering muppets with nothing better to do than spam the official forums with hundreds of posts per day about our guild, our progression, alliance players, why all Alliance players were hacking in BG's... etc etc...

Why, just last night I was on my Human warrior doing the Emanations Ogri'la quests in BEM where you stand on the Apexis Monument and click the buttons, and 3 horde players came over for no reason what so ever, and stood on the buttons on their mounts so i could click them. Whichever one i went to, they followed.

And that's skill, is it?

I haven't played an AV for a while, but i never lost one on Alliance. I won about 3 in a year on Horde.
 
BC was released on 16th January 2007, and Blizzard stated they would release an expansion every 12 months.


This is just impossible for the next expansion.

If you visit the official wow forums you can easly find that first blizz will relaese Sunwell Plateau raid then the new expansion, which imo is not going to happen for the next 6 months.

I keep playing the game only cos of raiding i do with my guild, its so much fun getting 25ppl and killing new bosses every so often :)
