It’s been months since the release and it still doesn’t work. When will this be fixed?

They never cease to amaze me. Terrible performance as expected.
No, it can’t be felt…sorry.
If anything it is worse. (on Silvermoon)
9 to 10 seconds of waiting for EVERY action you take… this is unacceptable!!
…and come the weekend, nothing will be fixed, so there goes the first week of the patch…
Great job blizz, as usual you don’t disapoint when it comes to server stability on patch & expansion day. (sarcasm)
“The sudden influx of players” should have been accounted for BEFORE the release of the patch and fixed accordingly. …and this again shows you’re unwillingness to learn from your mistakes and stubbornly doing the same thing over and over and over again…
…but at this point who cares right? …as long as players feed you their money, server stability can go to hell…right?
And let’s face it…it wont matter in about 1 month when the majority of players have finished the content and won’t be loging on every day or every week …and that is how you “fix” your servers…right?

As of today, Saturday evening, the lag issue exists everywhere. Doesn’t matter if you are playing max lever character, or level 40 alt in Dragonflight dungeons, lag is everywhere…
Silvermoon today is in a very bad state.
I just started to play wow few days ago, when will this lag go away? Should I just move to another less populated server? I tried Ravencrest and there was 0 lag.
Yep. Borderline unplayable. Wanna get quest? Wait a few dozen seconds. Wanna turn in quest? wait a few dozen seconds. Wanna loot more than 3 items? Might as well make some tea. It’s beyond me at this point that they can’t update the hardwarde to support at least playable conditions for patch days. I guess if we buy few more hundred thousand 90 E mounts they might take pity and update the damn servers.

The lag is for me also in old zones.

Silvermoon EU just went ofline
Got booted from server and now stuck at “Retrieving Character List”. Great 
So, all characters I play are on Draenor, and lag there is unplayable.
I remembered that I had one test character on Xavius. I made chis char on a lower pop server just for purpose of testing lag, at the beginning of TWW. That Xavius character has zero lag.
For a test I transferred my main character (it was experiencing the worst lag out of all my character) from Draenor to Xavius, and on Xavius I pretty much have no lag.
This is crazy.
To Blizzard Entertainment,
I am writing to express my growing frustration with the consistently poor server performance that plagues World of Warcraft with each major content release or patch. This same issue happens patch after patch, and expansion after expansion, and it has become an unfortunate, yet predictable, pattern that the excitement surrounding new content is immediately overshadowed by unplayable lag, disconnects, and overall instability. I, and many others, have had our playing experience ruined by these issues.
Every time a new patch or expansion launches, the experience is marred by significant server-side issues. We, the players, anticipate the new content for months, only to be met with a frustrating, and often completely unplayable, experience. The initial hours, and sometimes days, of new content are a chaotic mess of lag spikes, rubberbanding, and frequent disconnections. This not only ruins the initial thrill of new content but also wastes valuable time for players who have eagerly anticipated the release.
This isn’t a minor inconvenience; it’s a persistent problem that severely impacts the gameplay experience. Raids become impossible, dungeons are a lag-filled nightmare, and even simple questing becomes a frustrating exercise in patience. To add insult to injury, even basic actions like looting enemies become a tedious chore, with extended delays before loot is accessible. The feeling of anticipation quickly turns to resentment as we struggle against the server rather than enjoying the game.
It’s understandable that a surge in player activity can strain server resources, but the frequency and severity of these issues are unacceptable. We, the players, invest time and money into World of Warcraft, and we expect a stable and reliable gaming experience in return. The consistent failure to provide this during major releases is extremely disappointing. The patience of the player base is wearing thin.
I urge you to invest in improving your server infrastructure and implementing more robust load balancing strategies. We need to see a commitment to resolving these issues, not just temporary fixes. The constant server instability is damaging the reputation of World of Warcraft and eroding the trust of its player base. We deserve a smoother, more reliable experience when new content is released. Please, prioritize server stability and address these recurring problems before they further alienate your loyal players.

Dear Mr. Tyrskorn
Could you please verify the option to add capacity temporarily for launchdays/weeks, with the option to shut them down later when they are not needed?
From a business perspective I understand that you don’t want to invest into ressources which are only needed for a couple of weeks.
From a user perspective I see the damage caused AND if the WoW users would only pay for the patch and not monthly, a issue like this would be more toleratable. If you need money to buy an extra server handling the big spikes, do not hesitate to release a cool mount. I think the auction house mount already showed how easily the financial part can be covered. But if you ignore these kind of issues - the playerbase will lower. Specially because WoW is this old - stable servers are a minimum requirement for the monthly payment.
Thank you for the respond anyways.
Again evening lag in Silvermoon. When I try kill enemies fast. But skills lag and pick loots same lag
Since every came in game when evening
cant even complete the terrible scrap thing to 500 to maby spawn a boss thta maby drop a mount cause of this freaking lag for the 20959872490572957298572 day in a row
I think they gonna make the rwf clear of laag, streamer free lag so they gonna take up all the hamsters. Streamers are more important than you or me.
Next few days? Rebate on our wasted game time? come on don’t talk to us like idiots!!
Can we get free character transfer?
Only Silvermoon realm. Since my alts had on Silvermoon, I wanted move at low realm.
If you cant fix it easy for huge realm, so many players
Thank
its lagging like crazy again, It’s been like this over a week now… I am a new player, just started to play last week and this is what greets me? massive lag on looting, selling or opening any kind of npc window. If I knew this, I would never touch this game from the beggining but sadly I bought a subscription. All I wanted to do is play the damn game but instead here I am searching through forums to see if they do anything to fix the lag. You guys are doing a great job attracting new players… Bravo

Hello!
Same here. Days after patch came and still lagging hard and starting today, i can`t even connect. I am referring to Draenor server. I am stuck on login screen for minutes and nothing happens.
Blizzard, please fix this. It is starting to be annoying.
Thanks!
