Subject: Realm Migrations and Status Update - 4/6/06 |
| |
First off, we'd like to thank everyone who helped us test our new hardware on the public test realms over the last month. The testing allowed us to move forward ahead of schedule with the improvements outlined at the beginning of March: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=blizzard-archive&t=45&p=1&tmp=1#post45. We were able to bring the new World of Warcraft site live more than a week early, which in turn allowed us to open 12 new realms over the last two weeks.
The next step in our ongoing efforts to increase game performance is to migrate a set of realms to the new site this Thursday, April 6, beginning at 12:01 AM PST. The migration could take up to 24 hours to complete, so we will be crediting players with active accounts who had characters on these realms as of 12:01 PM Monday, April 3. The realms that will be affected are listed below.
The goal with this realm migration is to further balance our player population between multiple World of Warcraft sites. Our estimates about the noticeable impact of this individual procedure are conservative, but it is nevertheless a necessary step that will then allow us to move forward with the subsequent portions of our overall plan.
Following the migration, we plan to next week offer character transfers from existing realms to fresh realms located at the new World of Warcraft site. These transfers will allow additional players on realms that had been experiencing intermittent performance issues to continue their character progress on the new hardware. This will in effect help us further disperse our population and continue improving performance on our most severely affected realms.
We're pleased to say that the realm-migration process is progressing ahead of schedule, and all realms aside from those listed below are now back online. We will be continuing to work on the realms below, and we'll provide an update as more information becomes available.
Andorhal
Anetheron
Archimonde
Dalaran
Dentarg
Duskwood
Executus
Haomarush
Khadgar
Mal'Ganis
Scilla
Steamwheedle Cartel
Turalyon
Ysera
Ysondre
