Blizzard phase out the entire continent of Draenor to combat server issues
The latest expansion to World of Warcraft, Warlords of Draenor, has had some major teething issues when It comes to server stability. Players have experienced long queues, disconnects and being stuck in their Garrisons shortly after launch; even my review in progress has been temporarily halted.
As Blizzard finished up a round of realm maintenances this morning, they’ve announced a big change in an effort to reduce the amount of these issues occurring. Using their phasing technology, they’ve applied it to the entire continent of Draenor.
“This will allow us to run multiple copies of Draenor simultaneously, spreading out server population” said Blizzard community manager Bashiok.
