Regret transfer from congested world

[GeminiReed]

Just shoot me now. Now there's log in and grind-to-a-halt lag, immediately followed by 90006 disconnects.

Even before the surge I've noticed that Aether's servers responded faster than Crystal's. I was a bit taken aback since I though they're in the same physical location. My SWAG is that Aether has more server blades to handle the load.

I recently transferred off aether as well to crystal. My regret though is how the content is tackled. In my experience thus far being on crystal, there is a huge skill gap compared to aether. Everything feels slower now. People don’t seem to try as often. Its hard to explain unless you’ve played on both datacenters

Here's the problem with anecdotal evidence: I have a couple alts on Aether and my experience is pretty much the opposite even before the surge.
