Why? What happened to your toon?

Why? What happened to your toon?

I bailed from WoW about 3 months ago cuz of the breakup, and the necessary funds needed to vacate the apartment I shared with "her."

Maelstrom is RPPvP.
(It was one of my first accounts, so I didn't know about the different game types at the time).

I also have a Horde character (a Tauren hunter named "Beauxvyne") on Wildhammer, which is PvP (if you feel like slumming it on the "dark side")

Of course, I'm willing to start a fresh character on a low- to medium- populated server, if anyone else is game to do so.

I play on Stormscale (PvP).  Lvl 44 Undead Mage.  Look me up some time as Anestii of the Despised Guild.

All I was saying is that the characters that you left should still exist. As should your initial account.

They do - the guildies I played with are currently AWOL, so I am trying a new race and class on a new server. Dig?

That's a very good question.  I'm not finding that information over at the WoW site.  I'll put that question to Blizz and ask them to update their realm status page with those details.  You could make a character on each server, start playing him and check the time.

They used to be organized by time zone but Blizzard removed that for some crazy reason.

Thats because everyone loaded up on the East and West coast servers and ignored the Mountain servers.

Akama is new. That is why I chose it. I'm already in a guild, and they are recruiting all classes/levels. It is an Alliance guild. So come aboard!

Well, inspired by you, iBubba...I created a dwarf hunter named "Auggie" on Akama, but I've noticed that being new isn't much better (it may in fact be worse) than being full. I was lagging out left and right last night on Whisperwind (when I could get on), Maelstrom, and then Akama. That's why I looked through the list at the "Low" population servers...that's when I found Wildhammer. There are others, I'm sure.

I'll send you a message tonight so we can run together. The lag for me isn't too bad... I wonder what issues you may have different than mine?

Home Rig (aka "Neo"):
------------
1.8 MHz G5 iMac w/512 MB RAM. Running Titan and no other Add ons.
I live in MN, so I am CST.

On Sunday, my latency peaked at 2200ms, so I logged out. Since then, however, I have hovered around 120ms with lows so far down as 70ms and a few peaks at 332ms.

edit: There have been some issues with "teleport walking" since the 1.9.1 patch game-wide. I am sure Blizzard will fix it next Tuesday. Is that the lag you were experiencing? If so, I don't think it has anything to do with "high populations."

Oops - forgot the message you Capt. Add me, "Raddyn" when you log on.
