Are the WoW servers always this crappy?

I just got this game on Sept. 1st. Its my third MMO and I've never seen a game that has more unstable crappy servers than this one. I play on Staghelm, which is supposed to be one of the newest servers and for the last two weeks I get terrible lag that sometimes takes 10-20 seconds to work itself out, constant disconnects, and also random server outages for long periods of time -- like tonight. My server has been down for almost 4 hours now. Its also went down for long stretches every day since last week's patch.

Blizzard's realm status page is the most worthless piece of wasted bandwith I've ever seen. Its never updated and its obviously not tied in to the current realm status as being up or down because it always shows my server as being up, when its obviously down. I guess they have a pet monky in the back room who just pulls a switch when they give him a banana and then he'll update the realm status page.

Has this game always been like this? Hasn't it been out for a year now? The game is pretty damn good, but the servers are a broke dick more often than not, from what I can tell.
 
just wanna say ive played WoW for a while. Never been in a queue, or have had major server problems.

not par for the course these days.
 
There are occasions when it is hard, but I have never really had a problem.

The server status page IS linked to the actual servers, so dont blow it off.

There is a plague going around, so some servers are getting hammered.
 
I'd suggest checking out a new server.

I'm on Stormrage and haven't had to deal with bad lag, server crashes, or queues, since March.

I think maybe you're right....

We're aware that players on the realms listed below are experiencing problems with latency. We're working to address the issue and it should also be noted that during this time, some players may experience difficulty logging into game. We hope to have the matter resolved shortly.

* Kalecgos
* Ursin
* Dark Iron
* Greymane
* WildHammer
* Detheroc
* Staghelm
* Emerald Dream
* Maelstrom

That was posted 5 hours ago and I still can't log in. This isn't just a radom occurance or a bad night either. This has been happening since I signed up at the first of the month.
