 We've been paying pretty close attention the server issues lately. From the missing mail a few months ago, to instability in instances, to the creation of a new U.S. PvE server. Zarhym has come out and said there are no PvE realms under populated, and that's the reason why Blizzard has introduced a new PvE realm, and not a new PvP realm. He goes on to point out that while some PvE realms are not having queues, they are only a few hundred people away from having to suffer through them every evening. And while there are PvP realms that have queues, there are "several PvP realms that are a little too under populated." So what does this mean?

Second, it means that the game is going strong enough still to warrant new server openings; unlike Age of Conan which just combined servers. While the PR on combining servers is terrible for a company, the actual effect of isn't usually too bad. If it weren't for all the bad press combining servers would get for Blizzard, I have to wonder if they'd combine a few low population PvP servers. Finally, I think this helps illustrate a significant reason why PvE to PvP transfers were finally opened up a few months ago. PvP servers need more population, and PvE servers seem to be what the majority of people want. If you think about it, a good way to get people to go to PvP servers is to open up transfers, thereby increasing the PvP servers populations overall and alleviating the stress on the PvE servers. Now since Blizzard is still having to opening up new PvE servers, one has to wonder if the PvP server transfer option is a success in this regards. My personal opinion is that is has been, due to providing more options for the playerbase, but I'm sure others might disagree. Nonetheless, it's quite interesting to know that the PvE realms reign supreme in the Blizzard universe

I've been out questing and haven't been to a major town or seen many players sense i'm still leveling. Well I finally went to do a BG on my Death Knight and I start out seeing some people lag.. Well as AV progresses I notice that more and more people are lagging. I get out of the BG and run down by the Org AH. Standing there I notice many different people lagging. Sense then I have tried going on different servers and noticing the same lag. No matter what BG I do, people lag around. I even went on this rogue to Grizzly hills and seen someone walk around on their mount and they started glitching in front of me. Byirujiwang Some details about this problem though, people do not lag at the same time. The problem is way more noticeable when people are on mounts but I will see walking people lag too. The problem seems to be happening to everyone I see eventually. Such as if I see someone run by my screen they might not lag, but if I follow them on my screen they will wow gold wow power leveling aion gold aion power leveling wow power leveling This week at the popular Consumer Electronics Show (CES as everyone calls it) our sister site Engadget was covering all the hoopla. Some exciting technology was unveiled that will allow theoretical 2 terabytes of data to be stored on a new SD card format called SDXC. An SD card is the kind of card you can put in your camera. Most desktop and laptops have wow power leveling drives built in these days, so you probably have access to one even if you don't know it The cards are great for storing pictures and other data. I've grwaihmmlf used a 2 gigabyte one quite a bit to transfer around files, and in particular relevance to WoW, large addon and configuration directories (the WTF wow power leveling folder in the root WoW directory). It's much faster to put the 150 megabyte of WoW configuration files onto the card and physically transfer it than to deal with a slow and shabby WiFi connection However with the introduction of this new technology an interesting prospect is raised: playing WoW off an SD card directly wow power leveling Panasonic hope to have a 64GB card available soon, and rumors are saying sometime around March. Of course the cards will be a couple hundred dollars most likely, but nonetheless when this happens I will be easily able to transfer my entire WoW directory onto the card and play it from there wow power leveling The speed of the data transfer will be such that it'll easily be able to handle WoW (which is itself based on five+ year old technology). And the added benefit of having to not update my laptop's game every time there's a patch or I change addons or configurations, which happens quite often in my job here at WoW Insider, will be more than worth the cost. wow power leveling One could argue that I can already do this with a portable hard drive, and they'd be correct. But those, despite their usefulness, are quite bulky and I have a personal way of breaking them more often than eventually lag. Now that i'm actually paying attention out questing I notice this lag too. I thought that it was people with bad pc/connections lagging before but now its seems like its my problem. This problem is just players, not npcs. I do play on max settings which can cause lag, but it happens if i'm sitting in a full Org at 35 fps or questing at 60 fps. I have updated drivers including Network drivers. I do play with a wired router, but ran straight to the modem and tested that way for a while with no improvement. I play with a latency from 100-300. I have not tried much beyond restarting my modem and computer a couple different times. I'm not sure exactly what you would need from me. So anything you do need let me know and I will have it up asap. Edit: The thing that I forgot to mention that this is a new PC, one that I pieced together from Newegg. E8400, 4850, 4 gigs of ram. But I really doubt that its pc performance here. If you want me to throw up a DxDiag for any reason I will. Other people lagging isn't a problem that you can correct. Well, not unless you want to buy them all new computers and better net connections... but that's just not feasible. :)

 They will fix it when the developers get to it. Hopefully in the next patch. However the GM's here have nothing to do with it. You might wish to check the bug report forum to see if there is any additional info. In the grand scheme of things there are several other items that I would think take priority of these issues though. I'd like them fixed, don't get me wrong. The cower and prowl bug tend to be annoying, but there are other things even more annoying. really?...i cant think of anything more annoying than death due to bugged pet skills Byirujiwang This bug is also driving me crazy. I can put up with having to open my book and put the abilities I don't want my pet using on manual, but this bug doesn't always switch all those abilities back to auto. It might switch on Cower, but leave Prowl and Rake on manual (and the other way around). I've already died once from this, due to the fact that my pet was Cowering and thus not holding the aggro the way it should. I've also found that while this bug pops up the most often when wow gold wow power leveling aion gold aion power leveling wow power leveling This week at the popular Consumer Electronics Show (CES as everyone calls it) our sister site Engadget was covering all the hoopla.

But those, despite their usefulness, are quite bulky and I have a personal way of breaking them more often than dismounting, it doesn't happen every time. I haven't been able to find a pattern beyond this though. Right now, the best "work around" for the bug involving pet abilities auto-toggling that I've found is to move whatever you want to be sure stays how you want it to the pet bar. For me, this means on my gorilla I have growl and cower both on the pet bar along with whatever other abilities I want to actually control and leave whatever I'm NOT worried about in the book. So far, having it set up this way, I have not had any further troubles with cower and growl auto-toggling upon login / out or mount /dismount (which were the two prime triggers of the bug for me). I too hope this gets fixed soon BUT as I have found some way around that I'm at least content with, I don't have a problem waiting for the time being.

 Come on, if it's done right, you can't tell me taking the fight to the Burning Legion and invading their worlds for once isn't an attractive prospect. I think that has the potential for expanding the Warcraft universe moreso than just bopping around in the Maelstrom, too. Learning more about the Legion beyond what we've seen on Azeroth, meeting other races, developing the story right before our eyes rather than just dealing with leftover baggage from the RTS games. Lots of potential. Biggles asked... Uh, what's up with the giant, flying, glowy trees in Crystalsong forest? Did I miss a quest chain or something? Why are they giant/flying/glowy? "Magic", sure, but I think I need more. Why? Byirujiwang Some of my guildies suggested "because Dalaran is there", and I buy that maybe Dalaran is in Crystalsong *because* of the trees - but it still doesn't explain the trees.

The only backstory we have on that zone is from Lands of Mystery, one of the RPG books. What does that mean? Well, things that come out of the RPG books are really up in the air as far as how canon they may or may not be. The story of Crystalsong Forest as it's told in Lands of Mystery might change when the zone actually gets quests and is itemized. It was the site of a massive battle between dragons, the Blue Dragonflight and the Black Dragonflight. Whenever a Blue Dragon died, loose magic escaped their bodies and filled the air (think the elementals from Karazhan). Eventually, one of the older dragons at the battle conjured a great spell to freeze the attacking dragons, and the loose magic floating around amplified it to an unexpected degree. The spell was massive, and crystallized the entire battlefield rather than just the enemy dragons. It's stayed that way ever since. This was around the time of the Sundering, and those Night Elf-esque ruins you see there were most likely Highborne ruins. Supposedly in Wrath, the Silver Covenant and the Sunreavers are fighting over these ruins, but that's not actually reflected in-game at all. My guess remains that in a content patch, we'll see this place come to life with all sorts of stuff.

Just as a warning, today's Ask a Lore Nerd has a couple of spoilers for Wrath content.

It's nothing major, so you won't ruin your experience by reading it anyway. Let's dig in! you could get an outstanding wow power leveling And buy wow gold service here. Tarean asked...

The Maelstrom, the south seas, and a glimpse into the Emerald Dream. That's the most likely next expansion, and that's what most people will say. Personally, what I would like to see is for Blizzard to take another shot at the sci-fi elements they tried with The Burning Crusade. Outland suffered from being too techy, too bright. Even if you liked the out-of-this-world crystalline decor and space-age tech making an entrance in Warcraft, the degree at which it was used made you sick of it really fast. Psychedelic crystals were pretty... for awhile. Outland, they were in half of the zones. That's far too much, especially when all of those areas see heavy traffic, like 3 instances and a raid zone, for example. I think that they could take the otherworldly parts of The Burning Crusade, stick it in a blender with Wrath's gothic fantasy, and come out with something truly awesome. They did originally want us to visit multiple worlds in The Burning Crusade, so I think they'll want to explore that again.
