pvp is a crappy lagfest, bring on honour system and battlegrounds and fix your damn servers blizzard. 5th hr in brd last night and the server spazzed right the hell out.

also have a 13 human rogue (bleh) and a 7 orc shaman

No problems on my server =)
no lag and no crashes =)

love the Gorefiend...
thank god we didnt stay on that POS Archimonde
you've had 100 player pvp battles without lag? You've had stormwind raided by horde, defended by tons of alliance and actually been able to HIT a horde or cast a single spell?! No friggin way man :p

Besides the lag pvp is still pointless. Literally, zero point <EDIT: ok there is a point, to kill opposing players and distrupt their progress. BUT as pvp goes that's about as lame as it gets. No risk, no tangible gain. For the same result you can play any other multiplayer game and have a fairer and more enjoyable experience. PvP in WoW is barely implemented, to put it kindly.


more than 100.. considerign my guild alone feields 70 L60s and the horde guild has about the same.. add in more newbs and other guilds that always have to get into the fight and ya we have serveral hundred players in South Shore alot...

no lag.. most of the lag peeps are reporting is system lag..
with my set up dont get any system lag at all..
only a sligght pause when I fly into the area for the first time as it loads stuff into memory...
after that very very smooth.
only lag ive been getting lately is my Cable modems fault.. had packet loss the last few nights making it very hard to play in BRD =/

Or internet connection lag / insufficient bandwidth. Server lag is pretty obvious. Auction House problems seem to be a combination of both at times. My favorite server lags happen when you just died and it takes 2-3 minutes for your corpse to revive after you click the button, or when you summon your pet and it takes 2-3 minutes for him to show, while you are fighting and killing other things.

omfg thats horrible..
we dont have any of those issues...
AH works instantly no death lag.. and items fire immediatly...
wow that would suck...


hell the AH works so well i can use a AH information gathering tool plug in that records everything in the AH and its prices within 5 secs so i dont even have to browse for average prices of an item I may have it gives it to me automatically...

The lag on death only happens once in a great while. The AH lag happens whenever there are about 100 people in the area. Sometimes it seems like computer/internet lag, but sometimes the thing just hangs for several minutes and then occasionally returns an "internal auction error" message. Sometimes it will also not return any results for certain categories, but then if you hit search again it works.

What's with the lack of Druids in here? :p I'm currently a lvl 16 Night Elf Druid on the Icecrown server, after 7 days on a trial account. BTW...what's up with people selling this game online for >$60? You can still find it in stores if you look hard enough, I did. :thumbsup:
