Good news for you, our team managed to identify and fix one of the major causes of lag that some players have encountered (responsible for ~60% of the lag spikes during peak times for these players).
A dynamic load mitigation system has also been setup. It means that the server will automatically tune performance settings depending on the detection of players delay (for example, one of them is the view distance which will become greater up to 50% when a performance increase is detected). Other issues related to server performance have been found and will be addressed to continue improving the in-game experience: stay tuned for more information!
In the meantime, dedicated developers are working on Alterac Valley, thanks to the guilds that send us feedback from the Player Test Realm (PTR). The Dev team also has some developers focused on the current content available: thanks to the IsVV team, new patchnotes will be coming soon

During the last 3 weeks, more than 1,300 accounts have been banned.
Major reasons were gold & accounts selling, botting and hacking.
Please acknowledge the fact that forbidden services want your real money (gold, accounts, bot system), and, as a fact, will always tell you that there is no risk, that their system is flawless, etc. Which is wrong.
Don't let them steal your real money & don't let us ban you: stay clean according to our Term of Use.
More news soon!
Best regards,
Nostalrius.
