I really meant to. I did.

Mood: Decent.
Music: How to Be a Millionaire, ABC
Game: World of Warcraft (60 Rogue, 15 Priest, 9 Warrior (PvP))
Book: Malcolm X - As They Knew Him, Various Authors.
Muffin: Strawberry-Mango.
Punchline: Someone actually thought I might care about the NCAAs.

I wanted to play World of Warcraft last night. I made my chicken soup, which was mighty tasty, and sat down to play World of Warcraft. Except that most of my buddies were busy instancing, and I just couldn't get motivated to solo. So I got offline.

I suppose it was a good thing, because not an hour after I did, the servers crashed at around 10pm...which has happened THREE days in a row.

I have no idea when this server became as crowded as it did...because it didn't used to be. It was a nice middle of the road server, good population, not a lot of crowding. On Monday, there was a party or two at every cauldron in Eastern Plaguelands. 10 people in every farm in Eastern Plaguelands. Ridiculous. When did this happen? When did all these people show up? I was told that there was overcrowding in all the lower level zones, too. My Guildmates were getting frustrated at all the morons running around.

All of this is in the last few weeks. All of a sudden, it's like the server population has jumped in a huge way. I don't know why. I think if they'd let me take my character, I'd probably migrate to a new server, if the rest of my Guild would go.

Maybe I'll just suggest that we all start on a very low pop server and go again.....

Probably not. But I'm thinking it.
