While I feel that the situation for Horde might be easier as most might just move to Silvermoon or The Barrens, the situation with the Alliance tends to be a bit more iffy when it comes to hubs when there is congested traffic during events like the current one.
As a proposal for the time being I think an idea for now is to move everything city hub-oriented to Ironforge until August, there are several good reasons for this:
- Ironforge isnt phased like other regions (Lakeshire which is usually the popular go to).
- It has plenty of accessable buildings people could use as a temporary replacement.
- Its accessable to low levels and as easy as going through the deeprun tram for Stormwind players.
- It would be a good experiment to test the water for alternate city hubs in the event blizzard makes phasing traffic again.
I understand for some its not really that big an issue just invite your friends and be done with it, but the issue is having to do that at all is a hassle and the lag during this point is usually abysmal.
Hence it would be easier to just move, temporarily and return once the event is over.
