Oh god, Vanguard. I'd forgotten about that pile.
The VM may be better than ancient hardware, but it's still running on code built for a game not even 1/10 this size.
WoW is also 5 years newer than EQ. It came out in 2004. What was EQs population like 5 years ago? I'm having trouble finding any sort of...
I find it funny you think it's troll-like to not be freaking out about downtime, and understanding of the Devs and the reality of the situation.
