Latency issues: what do you want to do.

[Hitshade]

Ive had the displeasure of playing on this server for 3 years. Personally, Id love to see latency below my Nath standard 230ms. A nice 50ms like I get on just about any other fucking server would be a bonus. Im just not sure a transfer is the right solution to the problem at hand.

I could see a couple of potential issues with moving. The first being, as previously mentioned, the lag problems are widespread and Blizzard apparently knows what is causing them. I imagine it would be hard to guarantee wlph wouldn't run into the same thing elsewhere. The shear number and size of "OMG LAG" posts on the forums pretty much confirms the problem isn't just a matter of aging hardware.

If part of the problem is based on server population, that leads to the second problem. Transferring to a new / low pop server may alleviate the current issues, but could leave wlph in a position where there would be little to no competition. There's no joy to be had in server firsts if there isn't a decent number of people striving for them. (Although Id go as far as to say Nathrezim almost suffers from that particular problem already.)

The alternative would be world rankings, but to seriously place often requires an immense amount of effort. Constant PTR play, incredibly long and often strenuous raiding hours/times, etc. A great number of wlph's members seem to have healthy social lives that wouldn't lend well to that type of super-hardcore raiding.





... TL;DR?
I don't think it matters what we do, it might be better to wait and see if Blizz fixes this shit.
