Nekrosh is fine. There’s a difference between the lag spikes on Nekrosh, which occur to players on an individual basis, and the “lag spike” on Stitches which occurred at the same time for every player online at the time.
The lag spikes on Nekrosh and Retail are really annoying, but they’re normal and have always been there in Classic at least.
Edit to clarify: The individual lag spikes have also been occuring on Stitches from day 1, not just Nekrosh. The purge spike however affected every player at the same time, which is not something that has occurred on Nekrosh (yet)
Hello everyone,
Hope you all made it through the weekend with most of your characters alive and well!
Work has continued on this over the last couple of days, and at this time looks like the issue has been successfully mitigated and things are back to normal again.
We’ll be keeping a close eye on things for a while still though, so if anyone is currently experiencing symptoms, please include any fresh reports here.
Understandably, many of you have suggestions for possible mitigations such as in-game messaging or character rollbacks which you’re more than welcome to share, but please keep such discussions to other existing threads here, so that we can keep this one focused on the current state of the servers.
Thanks for your cooperation!
EDIT: Added emphasis on looks like. Please don’t read this as “it’s safe to play again and no one will ever encounter server issues again”. Proceed with caution, as always.

Loading screens and guild bank opening still have delays in Retail. I’m playing on Eonar.

So your best solution here it’s just to ignore the issue you caused to your playerbase and move on
(Just say it so everyone is on the same page)

how much longer do we have to wait for our characters to get ressurected? and what about a few days of free gametime?

It’s great to hear that you are addressing the server issues that have been affecting gameplay. However, there have been considerable consequences due to these problems. Players have been disconnected and characters have died unexpectedly - even during flights! (WITHOUT WARNING) and some of these players have invested a big chunk of their time into their character while being extremely careful of not dying.
We all joined hardcore mode knowing it was challenging and death was permanent. But no one anticipated server crashes causing these extreme interruptions. Many of us might have reconsidered our time investment in hardcore mode had we known.
While it’s encouraging to hear about server improvements, it’s crucial to consider those affected by past crashes. Reviving characters of players who faced these issues would be a fair resolution.
We’re committed to this game and look forward to enjoying it without interruptions. By working together, we can make the gameplay experience better for everyone.

Just fell off the griffin mid-flight and had to use light of elune to not die. Please just add slow fall or something for when you dismount the griffin… it said in the chat “instance not found” right when I fell

This is the thread about the server lag and the deaths it caused, please add your post there so that Blizzard can see how massive the problem is:
That’s the thread where Blizzard has already replied and it’s likely to reply again.

Actually they used to crash for says at a time. They even gave free days for them.
You agree to permadeath for any reason, including lag, when you make a HC character.
