Any update as to when Faerlina will be unlocked? Really annoying.

Pretty unreal to pay 15/ month for worse* service than a free private realm…

You crushed my new realm dream. RIP

Classic Blizz not thinking things through. I was looking to come back to Classic but can’t faction change on Whitemane to play with IRL friends. What a joke, I’m going to delete more characters on horde then I’ll make on alliance bringing down the total number but that’s not allowed. What useless customer service. Incoming refund on my useless game time!

Technically you’re paying that sub for access to BFA. Classic is just an added bonus thrown in for free to subcribers.

Not if you don’t own bfa! I do but two other irl friends trying to get into classic but cant because of the locked realms. It’s a way to scam people into buying BFA.

Interesting.

That doesn’t change the fact I am not paying for a service that currently sucks.

For all of you posting on this forum here are my suggestions for following up. Stop contacting blizzard support, they can do nothing for you and will lead you in circles saying they are helpless and cant resolve your issue, don’t bother. Second I would open a ticket with the better business bureau as I have. This is clearly price gouging in its ugliest form. Profiteering off a pandemic in its worst light, will-full incompetence in its best. There is little we can do but raise some form of awareness from this poor business practice but at least we can try and inform other consumers before they spend money or time on a game that puts no value to its players. Best of luck to everyone here.

bro that is rough. I hope they open free Xfers for you guys

Locking servers and removing free transfers still hasn’t reduced player population after several weeks? Hmm … maybe it was a stupid idea to begin with?

blizzard “let the players figure it out”… players try to figure it out…here is there joke of a solution. offer free Xfers to fix queues… whoops, we overpopulated realms that didn’t want more players first place. WHOOPS we ruined the realms where players migrated from (offers no Xfer to get back even if we wanted to). truly an embarrassing series of failed workarounds.

Same thing happened to me. I was nagging guildies from vanilla on steam to come back for weeks. They finally give in and are a little ticked I didn’t tell them the realm was locked ( I didn’t know at the time).

Sucks

yep and good luck getting a refund. this is a scam.

I guess you didn’t know this but the BBB has zero power to do anything and is mostly an advertising group for businesses. Businesses pay them to be listed and the BBB always sides with them. It’s beyond useless to tell them anything.

Any updates on unlocking realms?

Can you faction lock / character creation restrict Alliance on Netherwind, ban known VPN IP address ranges to tamp down on the INSANE amount of botting causing queues, but keep transfers/character creation OPEN on Horde side so we can balance out the factions a bit and become the next great megaserver?

Only reason why I would want a “new realm”, at all, is to have a Classic NA PST Normal RP Server, so it’s not just Bloodsail. Being PST, I’m on the “off hours” of the majority of the server. There’s a small window, when I am with everyone else. Nothing against my EST friends, they’re great! It’s just difficult getting together with them to do things 'cause of conflicting times. I, absolutely, love RP.

Kind of suggests there’s not enough interest in the idea of “Fresh”. I understand the statement says “players would move to them from the overpopulated realms” means transferring, but it can also mean a “get away” from their already established servers. I never believed that there was a high population wanting some “fresh” appeal, and this post proves this.
