Breakfast Topic: Most Unstable Server

I know Blizzard is doing their best to try to get all the servers up and running smoothly 24-7. They have stated as much several times, with promises of massive hardware upgrades, some of which occurred just this past week. However, I play a lot on Bloodhoof, and I haven't seen that server improve much. It is as bad as it has ever been, complete with random crashes, lag and a steady stream of new faces via transfers which only exacerbates an already crowded situation. That said, I shall nominate Bloodhoof as the very most unstable server in all the land. Sadly, I think I may not be nominating the worst of them all.
What server would you nominate for the prestigious Most Unstable Server Award?

Wait, what does "exacerbate" mean?

Silvermoon. One of the original servers and everytime they announce a "hardware upgrade" we are mysteriously left off the list. Lag spikes all the time, yellow latency levels in the early afternoon on inocuos weekdays, disco's at random, red latency levels EVERY night, and so on and so on and so on.....

Bloodhoof hands down.

I play on Eredar and most of our issues seem to be fixed. I recently reactivated my account and it seems that most of the lag issues that were overbearing before my hiatus have disappeared. I hope it stays this way, because it used to be awful!

Thunderhorn, I have been playing on this PVE server for a good amount of time now, hit 58 last night. Since I have been on it I have had random crashes, the first born of a dead mother, and some inquiries on doing "dirty" things, girl characters shouldn't get picked on so much :. All in all VOTE THUNDERHORN, its better then Thunderlord < reroll PVE.

I'm on Bloodhoof too. Though it may lag from time to time, it seems that other servers had more "official" down time (that is, mentioned on the start-up screens).

i started playing on Stormreaver which was one of the original servers i noticed a great deal of improvment since the game started about 6 months ago i rolled a horde on gurubashi and well the server is very unstable it was suppose to be a new server and on top of which had the "new hardware" so i guess a good steady server is just a luck game.

Definitely Bloodhoof, the lag&server-crashes have been horrible lately, its to the point that I can't remember the last time I've logged on to that server(realm).

the ping on stormrage is 800-3000 at all times. It never goes below this. Every boss has at least 1 10-30 second lag spike per night. 2pm now, 800ms red bar

Definitely Silvermoon.Always get kicked off of it,get lag spikes at the same time every night,not to mention they happen a lot anyways...I vote Silvermoon
Andy Sep 1st 2006 4:43PM

Uldum. Always down when others are down, never on the list of servers that are down. Down during upgrades, yet never upgraded. They'll never finish the instance it's named after, and they'll never upgrade the server.

Uldum...hands down.

Thunderlord, low-medium pop server that was one of the originals. Never once saw a server upgrade. It got so bad, most of the good guilds transferred off the server. Its close to a dead server now.
