Khaz'goroth (PvE Server)
Khaz'goroth is one of the first two oceanic time-zone servers created by Blizzard. The servers, while located in the US, have their in-game clock set to GMT+10 (Australian East Coast Time). The purpose of the altered time-zone was to assist players in the region who traditionally have had problems finding guilds that do end game raids in hours suitable to evening play. It is grouped under the 'Oceanic' tab of the server listings. Despite this, Oceanic players still face the same problems as they do playing on an American server - maintenence during peak hours (8PM Sydney time), lag, and pings well over 300ms.
Both Khaz'goroth and Frostmourne (PvP Oceanic Server) went live on the 8th November 2005. Some controversy was caused by the way Blizzard rolled out the servers – Blizzard’s software directed new users from North America to create characters on the server. As a result, Khaz'Goroth has several guilds dedicated to US/Canadian time-zone players as well as Oceanic guilds. The positive side of this is that the server is busy at all times of the day (as well as the cross cultural benefits of getting to know citizens of the world).
Lore
The server is named after Khaz'goroth, one of the Titans that came to Azeroth and ordered the world. Khaz'goroth was the Titan shaper and forger of the world. Before leaving Azeroth, he crafted the mountains of Khaz Modan (in Dwarvern, it means 'mountains of Khaz'), and gave power to the Black Dragon Aspect, Neltharion, later Deathwing. An in game reference to the Titan can be found in the instance Uldaman - Uldaman was sealed by the Titans and locked away their failed Trogg creations.
