RANT   
I probably shouldn't complain but the weekly WoW 4-6 hour downtime during
primetime (for me) really chaps my ass and so does the IF lag. Exactly what
is the purpose of having of having one AH? ( I know there are two but
everyone uses the IF creating problems for many users)  Wouldn't the
addition of multiple AHs spread out the population?  How about making the AH
a character function allowing it's use anywhere in the world???  Sorry, I
just had some time to kill this morning and wanted to add a post to a dying
NG.

.......end of rant.

They are currently working on adding more auction houses. They havent 
given specifics about where, but I expect them to be at a minimum 1 in 
each racial capital, hopefully more. They said there are techinical 
issues with doing that, so it isnt easy. They all need to be linked and 
the way they were programmed (I'm guessing) doesnt easily allow the 
change. Why they thought the entire alliance population would be just 
fine standing in one auction house is beyond me.

I've been playing WoW for about 2 months now.  I've only experienced one 
prime time shutdown that lasted about 2 hours.  I've been kicked off 
more often after midnight than during the day.  Those have been anywhere 
from immediate log back in to 90 minutes or so.

The only annoyance I've experienced with any regularity in WoW is the 
clockwork-like Alliance raiding of The Crossroads and Splintertree Post. 
   I haven't gone to Tarren Mill yet.  And that's annoying only because 
my avatars aren't powerful enough to significantly affect the outcome of 
the Alliance's trouncing.

Yeah, they do maintenance Tuesdays at 5 a.m. (Pacific).  I like to play
when I get up each day and this takes one time slot I like away from me.

I solved IF lag.  I doubled my RAM and voila no lag.

I only have 512 which works pretty everywhere except IF, I did however find
that not running the add-ons (cosmos?) actually makes my experience in the
forge more tolerable.

Walking instead of running also helps.
