Hi

So last night I I teamed up with 3 friends (not from SA) and we decided to try and do Auchindoun: Mana-Tombs... it was offline

So we decided to up it a lvl and try Auchindoun: Auchenai Crypts... also offline

By this point we were all hacked off and had all logged tickets. So we decided to go for gold and try Auchindoun: Shadow Labyrinth

It was also bloody OFFLINE!

Eventually they got back to us, saying that it was due to the increased ammount of ppl in instances, and that its a safety feature the servers have built in. Which is good thinking in away...

But my question is this, surely if a server is full, it should be powerful/stable enough to handle instances enough for the full population

Share your thoughts...

Ridiculous.

as far as i know, the servers are clustered per realm:
server for eastern kingdoms
server for kalimdor
server for outland
server for northrend
server for instances (this one reaches capacity for currently running instances)

your wait time could be as long or as short as the next group leaving an instance
and then beating the other suckers waiting somewhere else inside

Yup, had the same issue trying to access RFD on Monday night. Waited about 5min and got inside.
