Q u o t e:
so after the server came back up from being down...again
it is unplayable for everyone i talk to. right now i am staring at my main toon while loged on an alt in stormwind.
so how is the server considered "up" if it is unplayable?
I'm not certain who you are speaking with, Vodamir, as it does not seem that the majority of the realm is experiencing what you are referring to. That isn't to say that you and the ones you have spoken to aren't experiencing an issue but it may not be related to the issues the realm was experiencing earlier and could not be related to the realm at all.
If you are experiencing a large amount of latency I would suggest using the Report Lag Feature. This feature may be located by clicking on the Help Request option. This option is located in the small navigation tray near the bottom of your screen and symbolized by a red question mark icon.
This will bring up the In-Game Knowledge Base window, a database full of support articles for your reference. Four options will also appear towards the bottom of the window:
• Account Security
• Open a Ticket
• Report Lag
• Character Stuck
Selecting the Report Lag button will open up a new intractable window in which you will be asked to specify what type of latency you are experiencing. You will be able to select from the following options:
• Loot
• Auction House
• Mail
• Chat
• Movement
• Spells and Abilities
After you click on one of these options, your report will be issued immediately and the selection will result in a confirmation window which will be displayed for your acknowledgement. If more than one form of latency is being experienced, a report can be issued in each appropriate category. These reports will not be accompanied by a Game Master interaction, but instead will utilized as a diagnostic tool by our Realm Technicians to help potentially identify underlying causes of latency so that they may be addressed.
We understand the frustration that these types of issues may cause and also understand that the Lag Report feature does not provide feedback regarding your reports. Please rest assured that these reports are taken seriously and are investigated appropriately.
If we, those of us who moderate the CS forum, are able to provide additional information we will though it is important to note that this is not information we are normally provided. Most available updates regarding a specific realm or Battlegroup will be provided in the Service Status forum.
