I'm not quite sure staff members realize that judging by the way they've been handling the situation though. I hope some of them do play on the server and are not completely out of touch so they can see for themselves. Of course they'll have to sacrifice some pride as there will no longer be a realm with 9000 players online but sacrificing that in order to improve quality of playing will be worth it.
I barely experience any problems. Even with 9k on my game remains silky smooth at 20ms and no delay.
Only the server dc's really suck.
If 99% complain about lag/reduction in quality, whereas 1% see no impact, who do you reckon has the right answer?
Source for those very specific numbers?
Also, this is a fallacy in debate. Saying the greater numbers are automatically right. The vast majority of the world also experiences the existence of a god. Yet logic suggests they are all probably wrong anyway.
This isn't a debate and an appeal to majority is irrelevant. It is a simple fact that the majority of players are experiencing heavy delay that is making the game very sluggish and much less enjoyable.
Here is my old strawpoll:
http://strawpoll.me/4393578/rThat was when the server was reaching 6.5k players, and now the population is reaching 8k+ the lag is demonstrably worse and I think a new version of this strawpoll would reveal an even greater majority. So sure, 99% vs 1% is exaggerated, but it's probably closer to the actual figures than you think. Besides, I think the simple fact that the majority of the playerbase has to endure this lag is enough to justify whatever action that is coming, whether it is server queues (which I doubt), hardware/software optimization (which again, I doubt the effectiveness of) or another solution such as a new server.
