A reliable source from Voodoo PC claims that Blizzard have invested in 1500 Opteron servers for WOW and, I hasten to add, Diablo 3.

LOL and we thought the AMD sell-outs were due to Dell buying them all

If this is true then it looks like i may not need to leave all my mates behind with a server migration... i hope they do something coz the lag really is stupid at the moment.. so much so i have left my main toon and 9 alts on darksorrow and gone to another server for the time being as it is unplayable on darksorrow..

besides the news of new thousands of people siging up to WOW and being banned off it only other subject is the lag, everyone moans about it. So 1500+ of AMD Opty servers should be good enough for those 5 million of WOW hungry players.
Things are certenly changing. Last year the only PC's advertised on TV here in UK where mostly "Uses Intel Pemtium4 technology" ones but now i am seeing Sampron and Turion ads.
My favorite ad is when the guy in pc world ad says "this PC has Intel Pemptium 4 with HT technology" and the couple look at him all wierd like what the hell did he just say. They try to make IT lingo sound better so to makes things simpler and let the couple know what hes on about he says "Sorry with HyperThreading technology". Yea right that made things so much simpler, instead of two letters they now have remeber HyperSomthing-Thingy, people must have tought it eats too much sugar.

At last Blizzard are waking up to the one thing that makes the game difficult to play - lag.
I think they have been caught by the popularity of the game but at least I know that my £9 a month is going to an update in server hardware and therefore an improvement in the game.
