I know at leas...@Tam: That mental image, it burns!<br /><br />I know at least one person who was thinking of transferring an alt to another server because A-52 was straddled with low population servers in its Battlegroup, and she was getting tired of the long waits between queuing up and getting into a BG. So yeah, this is really welcome.<br /><br />@Soul: I have at least 8 seconds to /e 'Hi!' while I'm waiting for the bubble to disappear... ;-)<br /><br />For the record, I've fought tanks in BGs by now, and without support they're impossible to take down.

Thank, thank you for this golden cucumber...<br /><br />Ahem, seriously though - if it wasn't for Blizzard's "never the twain shall meet" policy when it comes the UK and the US I'd have certainly been visiting other blogger's servers like the maiden aunt who turns up for a family wedding and then won't leave.<br /><br />I really really really hope they do this in the EU soon. I HATE our bg - we're paired with a bunch of PVP servers which is grim as hell, especially for an RP server.<br /><br />Also it'll get rid of the extreme disparities in PVP. Or so I hope.Tamhttp://www.righteousorbs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287859335174901821.post-33120715579727882382010-11-05T19:12:51.376-04:002010-11-05T19:12:51.376-04:00@Shintar:

My guess is that they simply don't have the hardware to handle the LFD load, given their announcement.<br /><br />I hadn't actually considered that they had three separate data centers for each region; I figured that they had a central data center with a designated DR data center somewhere farther away.<br /><br />The complexity in setting up a global LFD/BG queue would be network related; you'd need the throughput to handle the load between the data centers, and I don't know how much of a cost factor that will be to alleviate.<br /><br />(Sheesh, I slipped into work mode there.)<br /><br />Now, they need to work on cross server grouping....Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287859335174901821.post-72250269976609479942010-11-05T10:30:12.997-04:002010-11-05T10:30:12.997-04:00I believe that right now for the purposes of rando...I believe that right now for the purposes of randoms things are being broken down into their respective data centers. Our data center just happens to be the smallest (consisting of only Emberstorm and Whirlwind), so we're getting experimented on first.<br /><br />See the Blizzard announcement <a href="http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?sid=1&topicId=27497535489" rel="nofollow">here</a>, if you're curious.<br /><br />Vidalya would be correct in saying that we are safe from the EU players, for now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287859335174901821.post-40990803982034993162010-11-05T02:05:32.863-04:002010-11-05T02:05:32.863-04:00I could be wrong, but even elimination of the batt...I could be wrong, but even elimination of the battlegroups isn't going to let us run with folks from different world clusters (you should be safe from Tam, I guess). <br /><br />More than EVER if this is a change that occurs I wish they'd put in some option to play with people you know on other servers! LFD is so convenient - I wish it were convenient to spend time with other great folks.Vidyalahttp://manalicious.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
