The lag has been horrible lately, and I certainly blame (or at least partially) blame it on the server transfers. I play on Bloodscalp and it was unplayable for a good part of the day yesterday until they restarted. There was at least a five minute lag at the AH - I wasn't very happy.
On a positive note, I tried out BG for the first time last night. It was great so I had to do it a couple of times in a row. The wait time was a little high a couple times, but it was worth it. Horde just couldn't win at first but I did get one victory in with my team, and lost a hard fought battle that kept me up well past when I should have went to bed.

I fought through the Dreanor lag and hit level 50 last night. I have about 13-14 days in the /played text but have been playing this character since january. Ran part of Maraudon on saturday night, killed the Khans, Vyletongue and Toxxion. Pretty hard, toxxion wiped us and we were a strong group (49 pally and mage, 52 priest, 50 warlock, 58 hunter).
Checking on the Draenor forums it seems that not all realms are hit by the terrible lag like us.

Haha dave! I caught up to you, and then even passed you. My mage just hit 51 earlier today. Finally got my Presence of Mind. Still need to do Maraudon though. I can't pull myself to do instances too often since I want to hit 60 as fast as possible. And for me, leveling is way faster questing as a mage rather than grinding in instances.
I usually find my best groups are with 2 warriors. A tank warrior and a dps warrior.. and then of course me the mage and a priest. Typically, any other class would do for the fifth but I usually prefer a shaman that knows how to play shaman. I've grouped with too many shamans that don't lay a single totem down in a fight. Also, they unload all of their mana into one fight and end up with no mana for a backup heal.. and the priceless "I don't have any ankhs on me"

Does anybody have a list of the all of the noncombat pet vendors? I know there is a snake vendor in Org., a parrot vendor in Booty Bay, and I think somebody said a grounhog vendor in Thunder Bluff, but I don't know where any other ones are located. I really want a little kitty, just cause it would be cool, but there is no way I am going to pay 10-50G at the AH for it - that's just ridiculous. I have a parrot now, so I can live him for a while but I want a little kitty

You can get a free siamese cat in deadmines from the cook on the bottom level of the ship (assuming as horde you can get to deadmines ok--never been horde so I don't really know), but you might have to kill him a few times, so you need to be able to do deadmines pretty fast (if you happen to be a rogue, you can sneak almost the whole way). I've killed him 10 or 12 times, and never gotten one to drop (I have one anyway, from a contest).

A higher-level horde can get to Deadmines quite easily, especially on a non-PvP server.
Even on PvP if you're high enough there's not much anybody can do except for call their high-level friends, and by then you're in the instance.

I got my Tauren Hunter to level 31, and was wondering what I should do next. The PvP aspect is kind of "blah" to me right now. It's like sometimes I get a rush from killing an alliance member, but I have died so many times to people 25+ levels higher then me, it really pisses me off. I mean, I can understand someone 10 or so levels above me killing me, ok. But this one rogue rides past me on a mount, and ignores me, so I think, how nice, he's at least being cool.
Next thing I know he's stealthed behind me, killing me. I accidentally pressed feign death (I knew it wouldn't fool a real player) and he laughs at me, and then spits on my corpse after he kills me.
I am really considering going to a regular PvE server.
