[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	I'm wondering if Blizzard ever changes servers in their battlegroups? -----signature----- (none)

	No, for good reason. Each battlegroup is in it's own server-farm located somewhere in the country. There might be multiple battlegroups in one location, and that might be a possiblity, but MOST of them are across the country. -----signature----- http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/malganis/kijah/

	They just reorganized battlegroups. Queues are faster and more frequent than they ever have been for randoms as well as BG's. No, they don't do it often..YES, they JUST did it. -----signature----- Guttersludge People just can't handle the truth.

	Any way to back that up? Not that I don't believe it, I just didn't realize they could do it. -----signature----- http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/malganis/kijah/

	I play on Wildhammer. Last night I got into a random dungeon and was in there with Earthen Ring guys. I ran plenty of random dungeons before this reorganization and I know that Earthen Ring was not in our BG -----signature-----

	Figures. I swear my server only wins 10% of the BGs I play in. Was hoping maybe someone at Blizzard would occasionally rearrange things to keep the BGs more competitive. -----signature----- (none)

	Yah talehon, look at your info on your launcher for a change. 10/16 they reorganized 2 entire groups.. Also, I can tell you for sure that Retaliation and Nightfall are now "intermingled" when it comes to queues..even though the "group names" have not changed. Its awesome. Login and queue up and see for yourself. Edit: and also, form a Bg forum page.. The following realms are all a part of the Retaliation Battlegroup (List subject to change): Area 52- Normal Auchindoun- PvP Azuremyst- Normal Blade's Edge- Normal Blood Furnace- PvP Coilfang- PvP Exodar- Normal Shattered Halls- PvP Terokkar- Normal The Scryers- Normal The Underbog- PvP Velen- Normal Zangarmarsh- Normal The following realms are all a part of the Nightfall Battlegroup (List subject to change): Aerie Peak- Normal Altar of Storms- PvP Alterac Mountains- PvP Anvilmar-Normal Arygos- Normal Blackwing Lair- PvP Deathwing- PvP Demon Soul- PvP Doomhammer- Normal Gnomeregan- Normal Icecrown- Normal Jaedenar- PvP Kel'Thuzad- PvP Lethon- PvP Onyxia- PvP Sentinels- RP Tanaris- Normal The Venture Co- RP-PvP Uldaman- Normal Undermine- Normal List subject to change...why would they disclaim that..if they never changed them? I see people from ALL of these servers in randoms, and BG's.. -----signature----- Guttersludge People just can't handle the truth.

	Seems to me queues are longer for the horde anyway on lightbringer since the changes. -----signature----- (none)

	I'm getting 4+ minute Healer queues when I wasn't before, so that's cool. Didn't know it was from a battlegroup change though. -----signature----- http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/malganis/kijah/

	GutterSludge posted: They just reorganized battlegroups. Queues are faster and more frequent than they ever have been for randoms as well as BG's. No, they don't do it often..YES, they JUST did it. They didn't reorganize the groups. They just combined the two battle groups in the Phoenix data center as a pilot test for the rest of the country. I posted the physical locations of all the US servers a couple of weeks ago. You can google or search wowwiki to find out what time zone the game clock is set to and the physical location of each server. The changes are very logical from an IT standpoint. edit: Didn't see Mithan's post. That's the link with all the relevant information. -----signature----- "Sometimes new is fun and fun is the point.
