Dreadmist EU, classic wow, has been experiencing insane lag in eastern kingdoms on days when many guilds raid around raiding time. This is a new problem nothing has changed regarding population (rather its decreased)
Last Sunday heart of hakkar and ony buff took 30min+ to drop after being handed in. Multiple mass DCs and world server down. Took our guild 1h to get everyone out of Stormwind due to the lag. Unable to move. NPCs and mailboxes not spawning or not being able to interact with etc etc.
It seems to be the eastern kingdoms server that is broken, since there are no problems in Ogrimmar and the alliance/horde population is about the same.
Long thread discribing the situation with multiple entries in the general classic forum: Dreadmist INSANE LAG
Fix eastern kingdoms server asap. The game is close to unplayable around 19 on raidnights for alliance atm.

++++ unacceptable for Blizzard to handle customers in this matter.
We pay for service which is not being properly delivered.
There was no announcement or no notifiers from blizz that servers are lagging for 2x weeks already - so nobody noticed , or what ? please give us an update, and provide a ETA for fixing the issue ASAP !

Bump for visibility. Blizzard PLS
The problem seem to be hitting Kalimdor as well. Horde waiting 25 minutes for Nef to actually “pop” today. Note obviously this is not a matter of individual players having bad connections. It is affecting everyone. Are server resources being transferred or what is happening?
Have played since server start with about 10-20ms. Past 2 weeks these issues are just becoming bigger and bigger. It has nothing to do with the population of a zone because I played the last 30 mins with 500ms while in Felwood with next to 0 people in the zone. Also having 200ms spikes while solo farming Gnomeregan on my Druid.
It looks like blizzard just forgot about the Dreadmist server and the lack of any response indicates they don’t care about it either.
no problems in orgrimmar? 
sunday prime time its most likely you wont get Dragonslayer or wcb at all from orgrimmar. It’s gotten worse lately.
