It's working for me. I'll head to Outlands in a few days, and maybe things will have settled down a little by then. If not, back to PVP or levelling my druid alt. I'm not interested in rushing through an expansion when it will be at least a year before the next one anyway. I’m just continuing to PVP and collect honor points. It’s working for me.

I have seen some silly antics camping quest mobs, and barrens chat seems to have migrated to the BE area. But I have never seen anything so smooth as this expansion, hell I have seen normal patches wreak more havoc then I have seen with this.

But I couldn't play during peak hours. I had to log out at 6pm and wait till around 12am for the kids to goto bed. I was getting killed and seeing it 5 mins later. Then I stayed up till 7am playing...woke up at 5pm the next day. Good luck getting up for 6am next week. I'm really liking the Zangamarsh (sp?) area. I took the week off…yea stfu.

At 7pm, Icecrown (or Icedown as we all say) went down for a rolling restart. When it came up the second time, most people had given up and I could actually craft a bit in Exodar w/o much trouble. The solution to the lag is the server splits. Icecrown seems to be destined for one as we had open server transfers and not many left. For my guild it's hard. We're the oldest guild on the server and have 300+ members, so organizing a server transfer would be hellish. Hopefully if they force the split on us, it'll go better.

It was part of the 7pm rolling restart chain for the Nightfall battlegroup. When they came back online, they crashed once more. At that point I think a majority of the playerbase decided to give up for the night, so I actually came back on around 11pm EST and got a chance to clean up some quests.

We're looking at mostly 60-62s, with a couple of 63s. Telredor brings back faint memories of Kelethin, with skeletons replacing the corpses of the newbs who took a wrong turn on those wooden bridges. You're not going to get those quest rewards people are linking in Hellfire general...but it's nice...and quiet...and blue...and did I mention the quiet? Even better, head south from Cenarion Expedition or Refuge or whatnot and get to Shattrath. Someone, too lazy to look it up, had the whole "What MMO player archetype do you fit into?" survey. I'd be curious to know what WoW's population falls into on that particular scale, as opposed to the general MMO population pre-WoW. From what I've seen the last couple of days...there aren't many explorers in that population. Nah, I’m not yanking your chain.

Did you try running a traceroute? You might also want to scandisk and defrag, if you haven't done that recently. Finally, ensure you aren't running anything in the background which would utilize precious system resources, such as WordPerfect, dBaseIII, Lotus123, The Print Shop, etc. It’s probably your ISP.
