Wintergrasp bug plaguing servers after 3.1.2

If this is how you try to lower the lag Wintergrasp causes on servers, I think the quote "ur doin it wrong" applies. In all seriousness, I'm kidding about that and this is obviously not working as intended. Considering the Mark and Honor gains people are getting from this, I wouldn't be surprised if we see some emergency maintenance and rollbacks soon. I wouldn't get too attached to your gains this afternoon.

Planning on raiding tonight, guess we might be foiled by this bug :( . I do love WG and hope they get it up and running correctly soon.

Your server has nothing to do with authentication.

Yea, it seems there's an authentication server issue right now... Le Sigh. I don't remember these sorts of issues in UO...

You guys aren't the only ones stuck at authenticating. I'm on Echo Isles and it's.. well.. messed up. That's the nicest way to put it. Hope it gets updated soon.. so we know what's going on. Oh.. you guys rock, by the way.

This from the official forums:
Re: Realm Maintenance - 5/19/09 05/19/2009 03:07:09 PM PDT
All realms are live and available for play.
We are currently experiencing some issues with the authentication system that is preventing some players from logging in. We are actively investigating these issues and will provide further updates as soon as we can.

One day Blizz is gonn'a realize that WG is the source of most of the problems in v3 and move it into it's own instance. Then maybe the next day they will figure out that arena is the source of the rest of their troubles and shut it down entirely.

I love the way you think.
