When will the server crashes end?

I'm tired of killing a boss or making progress on a quest just for it to be rolled back by these constant random restarts. Not only that, but I think it makes people want to play less. It happens at least 7+ a day, and that gets really irritating after a while.

When are they going to be resolved? If by the time Kronos or Corecraft comes out we're still having these crashes, then I guarantee you we will lose a lot of players to them due to better uptime.

I can live with a few bugged quests in the mean time. Just focus on fixing these server crashes please! :(

imagine getting an epic then having it rolled back and the boss dead, that would suck

Yeah, it will become a real problem when more people start doing raids. A lot can be lost by one restart in a raid.

This is a single server hosting 2k+ players at one time, to think that it will be without issues is naive. Blizzard servers can't even handle those kinds of numbers.

How much population do Blizzard servers have on average?

Did not know that, I am now even more impressed with Nostalrius.

Irrelevant.

Nost admins made the choice to increase their server pop levels, and they did so knowing that it could lead to instability. While I'll admit freely that no one could have predicted the population level we're seeing here, it is still not, in my opinion, reason enough to allow enough people on your server to make it unstable. Bring the pop limit down and put a queue in place.

And then you'll get another group of players whining over queue. I have a better idea - quit bitchin and enjoy your stay.

There's always gonna be crashes, rollbacks, ddos on private servers. You can't escape from it trust me, as soon you get use to it the better :)
