Port forwarding won't really help, because you don't need any connections coming into your computer to run the game. What exactly is the issue you're having?

"Endless Crash to Desktop," just like everyone else who's been stuck on the forums asking for help.
You guys made me start a free WoW trial last night
(Game sucks but at least I could play it)
I only talked about port forwarding because Tien suggested it was part of the issue and gave us ports earlier in the thread, I was responding to him and saying I forwarded what I could to no avail, hoping to help you guys figure out the issue.

Oh the joys of a STRESS TEST on a free to play game .....

Regardless, the past year of stress testing has been a lot less STRESSFUL than the last day of it, so you shouldn't be surprised people are upset they can't play the game they love, you should take it as a good sign that you guys are doing a good job. No need to get into hissy fits with the player base, not going to ingratiate yourself with anyone having an attitude like that.
I'm trying out the Lock Port checkbox... so far so good. It's better than yesterday, I can make it a few minute without crashing, but gating seems to be hit or miss, so far CTDing about 50% of the time... which is something I'm semi-used to but the rate still seems high... I'll keep playing and see what happens. I at least was able to make it out of sector, seems to have worked as Tien expected. Seems weird to be that all of our network hardware was fine on the old server then suddenly have this issue across a large portion of userbase on the new hardware. Did you guys change the way something was handled?
