Dear Community,

First of all, thanks for your support!
Our Vanilla server broke another record last week with more than 9.000 players online at the same time.
That's really insane!

2015/02/28 : 4.000 players online
2015/03/03 : 5.000 players online
2015/03/17 : 6.171 players online
2015/05/16 : 6.667 players online
2015/05/17 : 7.440 players online
2015/05/25 : 8.096 players online
2015/05/31 : 9.092 players online
2015/06/07 : 10.000 players online ?

Some improvements were done to minimize lag in Raids, Instances and Battlegrounds (even at 10K players). But, as more players enter in the world it becomes more and more difficult to optimize server performance, forcing us to decrease some quality parameters to handle the large amount of players while developers continue to work on further optimization.

We are aware of this issue that some players have and a solution is on its way.

Best Regards,
Nostalrius

Are we finally getting rid of all the taurens? Is it finally happening?

I really hope for another server. There is only so much one server can handle and a population cap would only hurt and stunt the servers growth.

A second server is strictly necessary at this point as the quality of playing has significantly deteriorated. That would be the only thing that would make me come back and play on Nostalrius.

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.
