Wow....They finally decide to upgrade after the servers get to the point of needing 15 min to log in.

Nizuttz · 02-14-2006, 01:36 PM

I doubt they will use them to upgrade, they will just add new realms.

Stang · 02-14-2006, 04:40 PM

Yup I agree with Niz nothing for us that actually need it.

MagnoliaFly · 02-15-2006, 05:33 AM

I wish they would just do a Realm transfer for Mal'Lagness so we can all go to another server.

Nizuttz · 02-15-2006, 07:24 AM

agreed if they do a transfer for Mal'Ganis to a diff PvP server I think we should all go.

CannonBall · 02-15-2006, 07:55 AM

\agreed

I logged on for 15 mins last night and got disconnected again. If this pattern continues I will be ending my subscription for a while.

Stang · 02-15-2006, 04:17 PM

You really think its going to be any better on a different server? Especially if alot move off Mal'Goonis also. We'd just end up with same crap just on a different server, oh what joy!

Nizuttz · 02-16-2006, 03:38 AM

Dont care about the Horde situation, I would say we move because we know what type of condition Mal'Ganis is in and perhaps we would be moving to one of the new servers.

Also, a smarter man than I once said "I cannot say whether things will get better if we change; what I can say is they must change if they are to get better."

Thanks for narrowing it down for us there....

So...we ruled out...what? People in vegetative comas?

I used to despise this server because of the Horde. After I got to 60 though, that stopped bothering me and my hatred is really reserved to Clan Can't Do Numbers. Then I noticed we're actually (in terms of players) on one of the better servers.

Elitist Jerks, love em or hate em, is one of the top PvE guilds in the game. One of the first three Horde guilds in the game to down Neferian (IIRC) and the smallest documented downing of Onyxia (rumors are around that some Koreans 8-manned it, but nobody can seem to provide actual proof). There's something to be said for going head-to-head with some of the top Horde in the game and occasionally coming out on top (zerg ftw!). Plus you couldn't ask for a better source of easy honor than Goon Squad...

Then look at the AQ effort...a lot of people refused to help at all, despite good monetary incentives and contests to help them. Mal'Ganis, a medium-pop PvP server on a crappy farm, finished 11th overall out of 123 servers...and was the third PvP server to finish (and missed being 2nd by maybe an hour or two...it was insanely close). That's ridiculous to think about, since I'm fairly sure there's PvE/RP realms that have daily queues that finished after us.

The server hardware-wise has it's faults, but that's Blizzard's fault and I have a feeling that no matter where you go, Blizzard will find a way to screw it up. I'd much rather start demanding that Blizzard look into MG and fix its OBVIOUS issues than spend the time complaining about wanting server transfers, somehow managing to get them and then finding out that we transferred to a server with even bigger smacktards than MG Alliance sports and finding out they let too many people transfer and the new server sucks just as bad.

It's Blizzard, they're not as bad as SOE...but that's not setting the bar real high.

Nizuttz · 02-16-2006, 05:07 AM

Agreed that there is an obvious risk involved in moving, but its pretty clear that Blizz is never going to look at Mal'Ganis so our situation won't change.

So there is no confusion here, I am not complaining about our players or the horde or anything like that. Quite honestly I am impressed by how much Mal'Ganis has accomplished considering all the issues that the server itself has had.

All I am saying is that we, as a guild, should not rule out the opportunity of moving to another server.

SilverTalon · 02-16-2006, 05:12 AM

If someone other than Blizzard owned the new server, it'd be something to think about.

The problem is not the server as much as it is Blizzard's unwillingness or inability to fix it. That speaks to a deeper problem that running away from this one won't really solve, IMO anyway.

Nizuttz · 02-16-2006, 05:20 AM

Well Blizz, due to their inaction, only really gives us the option of running away from a problem.

SilverTalon · 02-16-2006, 05:32 AM

I'm just saying if they don't fix this server when it has problems, what happens when the new server has problems (that Blizzard will undoubtedly cause)?

The evil you know versus the evil you don't and all that.
