I have played World of Warcraft since it was released in Europe and up until May it has been nothing but a wonderful experience. But from that month and up until now it has been rather painful due to lagging and server downtime. I'm pretty sure these problems aren't solely experienced on the Stormreaver realm that I play on, but I guess it's worse on highly populated servers than others.
However, Stormreaver has been a highly populated server all along and these problems have suddenly begun to emerge and have become severe after the last content patch 1.6. Now it takes minutes to send mails or pick up attachments from them, browsing the Auction House takes so much time that people often think and yells "AH is empty!", putting up auctions or bidding on items takes forever and it seems like the whole server is running on syrup.
People are screaming in Orgrimmar - which they call Lagrimmar - dayly about the lag and it has happened several times that instances have been reset or crashed while inside so you need to do them all over if you're so lucky you even get online fater the crash.
How much focus does Blizzard have on fixing these problems? Do they realize how annoying it is and that any amount of new content like Zul'Gurub or Arathi Basin can't make it okay for the servers to be that unstable?
I just wonder why there isn't any weather changes in the world of Azeroth. Why doesn't it ever rain over the great fields of The Barrens or snow in Winterspring? Why don't we ever see leaves blow from the trees in the autumn-like Azshara?
As the time in the game follows the time of the real world, why can't the game try to follow the seasons and weather a bit as well? It would make World of Warcraft - though how amazing it is to strole around in already - even more breathtaking.
I've had the LASIK surgery done to my eyes, here in Norway. It cost NOK 30.000,- (approximately $3.750,-) and was worth every cent. I now have perfect 20/20 eye sight, and have recommended it to anyone ever since.
A colleague of mine did it on my recommendation six months ago, and she also have perfect vision now.
