Can't even catch a break when I'm offline...

It's times like these i want to take a bus to China town and learn how to be one with the force.

News flash: Server is unplayable during chinese peak hours

This is absolutely the case. How long can the admins deny it? I stayed up late last night and attempted to do some leveling in Tanaris around the time the server hit 12-13k. "Unplayable" is an understatement. It's impossible to see players or NPCs more than a few feet away, every single mob is instantly killed the moment it spawns, and there are various kinds of bizarre bugs that appear when the server is so taxed, including being randomly stuck in combat after killing a mob. The server is fucked during Chinese peak hours. FUCKED. It is not anything even remotely resembling playable.

When are they going to admit this is a problem and do something about it? It's fucking insane. Who do they think it's benefiting to keep things this way?

Themselves.

Because they have a "stable" server with 13+k people on.

Go play on a different server then cause 12-13k still enjoy it.

Really? What makes you think you speak for everyone on the server?

I'd say world and zone chat constantly being full of complaints about the ridiculous overcrowding and the fact that it turns the game into a joyless chore is a pretty big sign that most people are not enjoying it.

Why would you complain about a free game over and over again ? the points have been made. just do the community a favor and go to kronos

they are spending all their time updating the servers with content and dealing with the current servers content. Seriously if you hate the server pop why play on it ? just stop playing and go play on a low pop server...

No actually I think you are the one who should leave. Telling other people who have invested hundreds of hours into their characters that they should "just leave" because they don't like the insane overcrowding is entitled and childish. Authoritarian idiots who simply type "it's free" over and over on the forums are destructive to the community and to the quality of the server. If you can't put your big boy pants on and accept the fact that forums are meant for discussion and feedback then you need to get the hell out of here. Your "contribution" only makes Nostalrius worse.

Agreed with this. Telling people to play on other servers does nothing to help make Nost better. Which is the goal, right? I mean we all want Nost to be the best it can be, yeah? The reality is at 12k+ or so, there is a serious decline in the overall gameplay experience. I hope something is done soon.

I am on the same timezone as Shanghai. I moved all my characters to Stormwind cause IF is impossible to load with 13k online (my evenings). Last night i couldn't get the flight master to load in Stormwind.
