After watching this event go from a few hundred players to almost 3,000 last year, server instability has been an ever-growing problem with crashes, rollbacks, and other shenanigans preventing a clean run. Blizzard's servers just can't handle 3,000 players in one place.
Now Blizzard will be officially supporting the Running of the Gnomes!
Blizzard's decked out the race course in Gnomeregan regalia and racing banners on the PTR, complete with gnome NPCs along the way that'll cheer you on. They've even added a new quest that'll task you with running through the 40 gates and crossing the finish line.
Sounds like they'll be implementing some sharding tech to help out with the run and make it fun for everyone this year and going forward.
