* some silly stuff *

Then, this:



This is going to slaughter raiding for WotLK if it isn't dealt with.

Every bored, casual or retired player has logged on this weekend, and if you think this is the worst it's gonna get, you're in for a big surprise - when WotLK actually goes live.

Constant server-restarts and downtime awaits us in Northrend guys, remember to bring your chips and coke and gameboys!


I do have an idea on how to fix this issue though. But it's getting to be too late now. No need to close down server-transfers for certain realms or anything like that. Such ideas just kill PvE environments. But how about forcefully migrating the players who haven't been online for 2 months to another server? All the closed accounts which aren't paid a regular upkeep. Those can be moved around freely right? After all, as long as you're not paying for a service, you can't complain can you?

Then, when they want to clog up the game for the rest of us for a week or two - they log on, find themselves on a low populated server, go about exploring, then going back into hibernation again, which they always do. They get to re-experience why they stopped playing in the first place, and we who actually play the game won't have to deal with massive queues for a week after every big patch.

No?
