World of Warcraft's first The War Within raid has been acting a little funny recently, and Blizzard confirms that background work on the 20-year-old MMO's infrastructure is largely to blame. Thankfully, though, the recovery effort is already underway.
Nerub-ar Palace is an eight-boss raid that launched in September, not long after WoW's The War Within expansion was released. However, it's not quite been the place to be recently, as a recent patch has made certain parts of the MMO laggy as sin. As you can imagine, trying to clear the raid on harder difficulties while your abilities take forever to register isn't the sort of difficulty folk have signed up for. The random disconnects don't help, either.
