0. Naxxramas and World Latency Fixes 01/08/2009 10:06:24 AM PST
For the last several weeks, our players have been experiencing periodic latency in both outdoor Northrend areas and Naxxramas, and we wanted to provide you with several updates on what we're doing to resolve these issues. As many players have discovered, the outdoor Northrend latency has been tied to activity in Wintergrasp. We are actively working on a server-side fix that should address the high latency experienced in the outdoor world when Wintergrasp is active. This fix is currently in testing on internal test realms and we anticipate that we'll be able to push it to live realms in the near future. Concerning Naxxramas, optimizations are being made that will address both the latency and disconnection issues affecting players while in that zone. These optimizations will be included with the next minor content patch.
We appreciate your patience as we work to address these issues.

Translation:
Be prepared for a week or more of realm instability after the next minor content patch.

We appreciate your patience as we try to figure out what the heck we did to screw up the servers this time.
(Edit: I've been here since beta. My cynicism is based entirely on past performance. Based on the same evidence, I am also confident that in the long run, net positive performance will result.)
