AQ Overcrowding Hits Mannoroth

Looks like the Medivh server isn't the only one disabling new characters to deal with the crowds flooding to see the AQ event; new character creation is now disabled on the Mannoroth server as well, per this post on the official forums.

For all the wonderful things one can say about Blizzard, they tend to have one consistent failing; they underestimate their public's enthusiasm for their product. On top of all the normal server issues we've had to deal with lately, this one has players almost ripping their hair out by the ends. The forums are full of posts to the effect of "Blizzard isn't letting me do something that I pay them to let me do", which, taken at face value, is hard for me to argue with.

You know, this would be a great time for an enterprising networking firm to jump in with a truckload of servers & a nice fat contract to solve all Blizzard's problems...
