EQ1, Rift, Neverwinter, GW2, Fiesta, Dragons Nest, Skyforge, Cabal 1 & 2, TERA, LOTRO, SWTOR, FFXIV, the list goes on and on. I never touched WoW. Most of those games have pretty good player base, even the old ones. Never had an issue.

A1: NIH syndrome ;) A2: they are maybe still "hardcore" and are running nodes on the real iron instead of VMs so adding more nodes require significant work/downtime, last time I had big surge in net traffic I just needed to check flex-scaling on the cloud provider control pannel and 40 additional nodes sprang into life to handle increased load and dissaperaed when load dropped ... poorly handled surge traffic is not a good sign.

Everyone is a network engineer online. Even WoW has times where their servers are lagging. Do you HONESTLY think Blizzard hasn't dropped top dollar on their servers? I work for NASA and my dad works for NCSoft AND Carbine thanks, I think I'd know. (Sarcasm) But hey, it's easy to lie online, right?
