There are many importants news in the official forum today, beside Zarhym news on Hotfix for talent issues and free RP to RP server transfers, there are still news on new 3.0.8 PTR build, Naxxramas and World Latency Fixes. Let's come to the details:
We know that Players on RP servers are upset after being offered free transfers to a list of servers which don't include other RP servers. Following the after-holiday boost of players on WoW's servers, Blizzard have been offering free transfers to PvP and PvE players to redistribute some of the player base from servers with the highest population to less busy ones. However, players on RP servers have found themselves with only an option to move to regular PvE.

I'm with you on this and am fully aware that there are two RP realms and one RP-PvP realm currently eligible for transfers, but only to PvP or PvE realms respectively. It's definitely not an ideal situation, nor is the RP ruleset something we've shrugged off. We did carefully evaluate population, faction, and queue data from all realms with the RP ruleset. Unfortunately at this time, the most immediate and feasible solution is to offer transfers from RP to PvE, and RP-PvP to PvP. We are unable to justify opening new RP or RP-PvP realms at the moment, and it wouldn't be a very good idea to try and shuffle players between various existing RP and RP-PvP realms right now given the numbers.
With that said, we fully understand this will affect whether or not many players would choose to move from high-population realms with the RP ruleset and hope to provide better accommodations in the future.
UPDATE: New 3.0.8 PTR Build Incoming

At this time, the PTRs are going down for a version update. The Build Number thread will be updated once the update is complete and the PTRs are running once again.
We have no ETA for when the PTRs will be back up.
We have a bigger update coming later today but I wanted to get this announcement up for everyone who hasn't been watching the Blue Tracker. Nethaera sent us an email and asked us to spread the word about the ongoing latency issues and what they're doing to fix them.

For the last several weeks, our players have been experiencing periodic latency in both outdoor Northrend areas and Naxxramas, and we wanted to provide you with several updates on what we're doing to resolve these issues. As many players have discovered, the outdoor Northrend latency has been tied to activity in Wintergrasp. We are actively working on a server-side fix that should address the high latency experienced in the outdoor world when Wintergrasp is active. This fix is currently in testing on internal test realms and we anticipate that we'll be able to push it to live realms in the near future. Concerning Naxxramas, optimizations are being made that will address both the latency and disconnection issues affecting players while in that zone. These optimizations will be included with the next minor content patch.
