I understand this is beta, so there will be random server crashes and unexplainable disconnects. But, is it really this common? This is my first beta, for any game. I have been in Northrend for maybe 8 hours /played, and I have seen "World server is down" at least 10-15 times now.

I'm not complaining, I'm just asking if this is normal, or is there something going on like people doing an exploit that is causing it?

This is not uncommon in beta. "World Server Down" means that something is specifically crashing Northrend. On our end, when this happens we track down what is causing the crash and fix it. Some things are easier to find than others. Some things are easier to fix than others. While feedback from Beta testers is absolutely crucial to us, just having people on the server "doing stuff" also reveals a lot to us. I know how annoying it can be to be kicked from the server but you really are helping us get things stable.
