With the way performance is? Have just been to IC, one bar across the board and IC is far from the worst in respect to performance. Break free never works, no matter what. Bar swap? Eh, maybe, if its feeling like it. Skills fire with 2-5 sec delay, if you're lucky.
Cyrodiil, Standard Campaign? Again, one bar across all three faction, hardly an over burdened instance... yeah, no, I'm not even going to comment or I'll break down in tears.
No idea how BGs are right now because I've lost patience but if they're anything like yesterday or Friday it's more of the same.


And you're planning a pvp event in this? pardon my French but have you all lost your *** minds?

    However bad it is right now, it will only get worse as the population increases during the event.

    I expect that they will run extra servers for a couple weeks. Our performance, I expect, may even improve. Then it will be back after the extra servers aren't available anymore.

    Last time they were able to switch the "perfect performance" button for MYM. Saying that performance prior to last MYM seems perfect compared to this chess paced PvP we are now used to.

    They will probably add new Campaigns (ie: run extra servers) and might even drop the population cap of all Cyrodiil campaigns to keep the concurrent numbers in any one campaign low.

    Nice thought. They will re-allocate current server space.

    Well all those non regular PVP players want to come in and get their titles/AP.

    - They can't cancel or they will get whiners saying 'I waited a whole year for this'
    - We'll get lag so we won't be able to play (it's already the case though, right?)
    - Everyone will distance 'pew pew in zerg formations' (it's already the case though, right?)

    Sounds like it's going to be a shocker of a Midyear Mayhem.

    If they drop the max number of players in a campaign much further there'll be no one to fight.

    The severs performance in Cyrodiil is not much different than the last Mayhem event. Heck, people complained last time Zos canceled it.

    Pop. lock will be 12 players per campaign(4 per alliance). All fights will be a one on one rock-paper-scissors fight with the winner of each moving on until only one alliance stands.

    Then there will be a sudden death rock-paper-scissors inside the winning alliance to crown the emperor.

    That was my experience too. Performance was the best we had in a really long time then went straight back to dumpster fire after the event unfortunately.

    Typically performance is much better than normal during Mid Year Mayhem due to a combination of things. Primarily its actually due to the higher population, as it is the main campaign (Grey Host) reaches pop lock, which isn't going to be any different during MYM. However, since other campaigns are mostly dead it forces any serious pvper onto Grey Host meaning that all the ball groups will be playing at the same time fighting against each other and creating lag. During MYM there is enough population between the non Grey Host campaigns to draw ball groups off the main campaign and onto the other ones, this means that the ball groups aren't fighting each other as often and not creating nearly as much lag.
