Dear Blizzard Entertainment,

Blizzards Response concerning Server Queues, in game lag, and game crashes:

Unfortunately, if player populations was evenly distributed across all servers, we would not have any such issues. The problem is that players are congregating to a small number of servers while leaving others relatively light.

If you have the option, please try playing on another server in a different time zone. You should see no queues.




Our response to Blizzard:

“What YOU need to understand is that we are no longer FORTUNATE to play for free. We are now your CUSTOMER BASE. That means that *WE* do not have to do ANYTHING. You do.

Period.

Now, what that is, is completely YOUR responsibility. However it *IS* in fact your RESPONSIBILITY to make this game playable without issues such as LAG or QUEUEING.

I am sorry if this post seems BRASH but I am absolutely appalled that you claim the problem to be that PLAYERS are congregating to servers. Congratulations -- the RESULT is not a player issue, it's a Blizzard issue.

Last time that I checked, I had no power to make more servers available or to have created a more satisfying system BEFORE releasing.

FINAL WORD. And I only say this to emphasize how IMPORTANT it is to a PAYING consumer.

YOU, and YOUR COMPANY are at 110% responsibility for EVERYTHING concerning your product. To say it's the PLAYERS fault makes me seriously question your COMMITMENT to CUSTOMER SERVICE.”

As a company you cannot expect people to PAY for a service and then not render that service available. YOUR negligence is costing people MONEY. Restitution is in order in the form of a REFUND or a FREE 30 day extension to the already free 30 days allotted.

Fix it.

Thanks.

Free character transfers aren't enough, because you never know who will go with you and who won't. Fix the problem, cluster your servers right, re-distribute your network, and stop making excuses. Also, frickin' update how new players are assigned to servers.

After suffering from this many times, i agree. When i want to play, the server should be up and no lag. I understand maintenance, but not out of maintenance times.

seeing as blizzard assigns the players to the server and tends to always assign them to aggramar, the fix lies entirely with blizzard.

I don't claim to know a lot about the technology that makes WOW possible. I was waiting for over an hour last night and couldn't get into the game. What kills me is that I am on a server that Blizz assigned to me. You would think that if they assigned you the server, then as a new subscriber, that server would be able to accomodate the volume for a reasonable period of time. Not so. I imagaine that if Blizzard actually sees this petition, they will spew a lot of technical mumbo-jumbo about how they can't do anything about it. I have a hard time believing that there is nothing that can be done to support your existing customer base. Oh well. Just my 2 cents.

Yeah I also agree "the customer is always right". Blizz should fine a solution. I decided to see what others thought when I just got hit with queue problems myself. I waited 20mins to get on. Then forget to plug my laptop power cord in and once returning from hibernation I'm greeted with another 30 min queue. Do something blizz plz.

Queues have been going on for 2 years now. It's time Blizzard re-invested some money back into WOW and upgraded the servers to accomodate more people.

I definitely agree, we pay to play, not to wait. Good argument.
