Hello to everyone,

wanted to share few thought and ask your ,dear friend, opinion about situation in Russian Realms.

After release of Russian Realms, seems like Blizzard has underestimated the population of most Russian servers and at the moment most of Russian warcraft are players suffering huge disconvenience about queued servers every day. Situation is getting worse and and worse every evening, for example, yesterday around 7 PM it was 700 + queue in Grom server and had to wait more then 45 minutes, today aroud this time, I have 900 + queue and more then an hour waiting time. After connection to the server, it very often happens that i have disconect caused by huge latency. It is not my only personal problem, it happens to all WOW Russian players community. When i try to connect to most of EU realm, i have normal latency between 50-200, and in Russian server it jumps around 800 - 11000. Worst to say, is other thing - me and many other players have posted many times continuesly in Russian wow official forums, but sadly, none of the posts were answered by any officials from Blizzard. We just want to know only few things:

1. does Blizzard, i mean not Russian support team, but EU one know about such situation.
2. What are they planing to do in order to solve this issue.
3. Doesn't they think, that would be fair to open free character move back to EU servers from Russian realms, becouse personally for myself it is too expensive to move back all of my characters (4 chars over 70).

Really, we just need to know, that you guys doing anything for us, please. Anyway, 3 years of wow i think also means smth for you, does't it? We were loyal and fair for you, so why you are not?

Thx in advance
