Transfers to Bloodhoof? WHAT?!
On November 23, 2004, I created my very first WoW character on the Bloodhoof server. I made a Night Elf rogue (go figure...what a noob!) and played happily. After a while, I saw the light and made a Troll Priest (not undead?...what a noob!), joined a good guild and truly started my WoW career. The server was never really what I would call wonderfully stable, but at least it didn't crash nightly and the lag wasn't that bad.
I recently left Bloodhoof, and have heard nothing but horror stories about how the server has become even more unstable after I left, complete with constantly high pings and nightly crashes. Coincidence? My ego would like to think so, but I suspect it has more to do with a high player population on an old server still running the original hardware. How does Blizzard respond? They open up transfers to the Bloodhoof server! You can imagine how happy that is making the folks on Bloodhoof, and I can't believe it is the only server who is facing this situation. I am totally down with Blizzard, and have loved every moment of WoW, but this seems like a really, really bad idea. But hey, who am I? If you said some dork sitting at home watching Will & Grace on Lifetime, you'd be right!
