So what youre saying is, there shouldnt be free transfers because that would ruin the server, but that everyone should reroll fresh toons on nightslayer, because that wont ruin the server?
Got it.
Seriously though, I dont understand the resistance from NS players to transfers. Its a situation where more players and a larger more vibrant community is a better outcome for NS players too. If you like a mega server, wouldnt you like it to gain another 1500 players? Especially ones who play a different time zone and give the server a more 24/7 feel?
As a mega server fan, I welcome anyone joining them, and anyone transferring off dying realms.
Fully support your position Callum.
Nightslayer is a mega server, the more the merrier.
Moving to US ping full time is a downer, but a larger more vibrant community is a big win.
Everyone should be free to make their own judgement call with respect to transferring, but we should be offered a transfer. The server is dead - most of the āactiveā maladath population, are people who raid log like an alt, whilst retaining a main on Nightslayer - which is just an absurd situation.
Correct, my mistake, thank you for the clarification. Iāll update this in my original post. I donāt believe it compromises my point though.
Again though, thatās raiders. On any given server, what percentage of the player population do you think raiders represent? Genuine question. I promise you itās not 100% but beyond thatā¦
Itās a ways back so totally anecdotal but I believe my Vanilla realm back in the day (Terenas) was in the 2000 to 2500 player realm. We didnāt have more than 10 AQ40 capable guilds and really it was just 4-5 guilds at the top end of progression. I remember the War Effort and I remember the raiding guilds offering incentives for non-raiders to go out and assist.
Honestly, 1500 raiders should be enough to open the gates. If this is a problem for them, perhaps too many people are waiting around for someone else to do it for them?
There were no Vanilla servers that had a population of 12k.
Yes, thatās exactly what Iām saying.
Because a free transfer means two thingsā¦
Everybody who is slightly dissatisfied with the server will immediately bail. The serverās population will be gutted overnight (like literally every other time free transfers were offered) and there will be no going back, even if they want to. Having to reroll means you are committing to your new destination.
Once everybody is gone and the server is dead, it will become a haven for bot/farmer activity with people exploiting Maladath to bring goods/materials to Nightslayer for RMT purposes. This is exactly what happened with Grobbulus and we only recently got transfers turned off (after 4 years of being on).
Just because you arenāt having a good time on Maladath doesnāt mean thatās true for everybody else. Clearly there are 1500 players who are successfully raiding in that environment. If you open up free transfers to that server youāre going to kill that environment for them and ultimately force them to transfer off.
If youāre unhappy with your choice of server, reroll. Free server transfers have a proven track record of devastating server communities.
I think someone from the original team confirmed somewhere that the servers at the time supported up to 4,000 players. There were lots of medium population servers and most of those got the AQ gates open.
Starting to think the OCE players have serious FOMO problems. If you had 2K people you would be like a pretty normal Vanilla realm.
they cannot keep era server running. the focus is not to run servers that represent 2% of player base over all venues. Era should open up in private servers and free up blizz resources
I mean, thatās the version of the game we all signed on to play, isnāt it? If youāre looking for a modernized version of WoW, retail is right there for you, my man, enjoy it!
They changed over a decade ago. Again, maybe you should check out retail. Tons of players there, all connected together. There are no servers and server communities, only guilds. Exactly what youāre asking for.
Exactly that is why I stated in my post that I made a wrong choice rolling on this server and many of the Maladath population did too, I understand that there are alot of people that disagree with me that is fine everyone is entitled to their own opinions. (doesnāt mean they canāt be wrong and stupid).
While I blame OCE players for giving into fear of this foreshadowed issue and taking a cowards flight to nightslayer or dream. It became a self fullfilling prophecy due to this. Server was healthy enough weeks 1-4.
I think the reality is blizz should open up the gates now. Let nightslayer be bolstered with the cream that is the battle hardened chad elites of Maladath. We bring you such greats as Floor pov, creedzy ganking both factions at DMF and blohz, arguably the best resto druid in the world.
The point of classic is the leveling experience, I canāt even find a dungeon on Maladath months ago, why would it be any better now.
Why would you pay and participate on a dead server where you canāt even find a dungeon for first instance.
The jokes on you
