This weekend most of my guild will be transferring off of Stormrage. We've suffered too long with crappy lag every night but maintenance nights (like last night, we called the raid roughly 2 hours early). BotH disbanding and Ravage leaving didn't help much either. Stormrage was one of the first 10 servers launched (it was even in beta, I believe), so it has the oldest hardware. The Alliance outnumber the Horde horribly, and there's been servers opened after Stormrage that have been given the opportunity for a free realm transfer (Stormrage hasn't gotten anything). I have no problems now leaving the server, since all my friends are in DPS or have already left. For the most part, I don't think many people will be re-rolling new characters, since everybody seems to like their own so much. Too bad Blizzard can't have something like a "guild rate" for transfers... if we move 100 characters, Blizz gets $2,500.

The server we're moving to is Kael'thas, and the people there seem really nice. If you compare the realm forums, there's a huge difference. People aren't constantly putting each other down, and they all seem to hate drama. So on Friday (hopefully), I'll get a chance to transfer Unbarc, and be ready to play on our new home Tuesday.

So long Stormrage, and thanks for all the fish.
