You know what really makes me hate people like this though? Even though they were just proven wrong and proven to be liars about the whole “blizzard lied” thing. You bet your !@# the next thread that pops up they are going to just repeat their lie “why would I trust them now when they lied about the rp servers”. Bet your $%^ they are going to do it

Blizzard, please no sharding
No sharding please, I'd rather fight for mobs and see with my own eyes the size of the community I'm playing with against the opposing faction. It is so memorable and exciting, sharing greens and leveling professions together on the way to 60.

except 80% of the people you would be seeing in the starting zone you will never see at lvl 60 because they would have quit by then
soooooo whats the point.
11/08/2018 05:01 PMPosted by VandalYou absolute dunce. its tuesday night and a bunch of guilds are heading toward blackrock mountain - pure happenstance. oh a city raid is happening, who do all these people think they are converging into one spot like that? Lowbie ganking in hillsbrad leads to calls to the server and a small war breaks out - that's just staged to be frank. Competing groups are out farming devilsaurs or in Tyr's Hand - never happened. Opening the AQ gates - a myth. These totally nonorganic events are nothing to worry about and will never actually happen I'm sure.11/08/2018 04:16 PMPosted by NickamusAgain, this video is a staged video where they got people in the zone to converge on one spot. People on one shard invited people from other shards into groups. It's not one shard having 200 people and another having a couple naturally.
This wont be anyone's experience with sharding. This forum is just an echo room.
The reason this "staged" event happened is because the players created some content for themselves. Current wow is a big keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times. Vanilla was not.
You miss the point. All those things can happen just fine in classic. Just like in Live, there will be sharding to make a smooth launch. That's it, that's all.
My point was this video was made with the Express purpose of demonstrating the evil of sharding. It fails to do so. See cuz, all those players were able to get in the same shard, weren't they? Huzzah!
A couple weeks of sharding won't hurt anyone, or at least any adult who doesn't think they are the center of the world. However, it will help thousands and thousands of people ha e an enjoyable launch. Get over yourself.

Wellll, you at least get to know how popular the launch was, rather than being sharded into your own little shard of 10 people not knowing how populated your server really is and how successful and popular the launch really is.
thats just one point, there are obviously points against.
not sure which side of the fence i set, probably don't care either way if its just for launch.

To the ones in here trying to say the video is staged and trying to make the lot of us here liars, here's some proof for you:
A post from general discussion (which is one of many that arose after each patch after Legion launched):

Oh but wait! Before you read the blue post and try to say we are lying again, here's a twitter post from Blizzard that someone from that thread reminded them of:
https://twitter.com/warcraftdevs/status/773586822865846272
This was a very common occurence during the launch of Legion. They kept saying it was only temporary and unintended and they would then do a "hotfix". This happened time and time again and threads like this one was made over and over until no longer was it "unintended" and hotfixes were made. Instead their story changed to the blue post you see in the thread I linked.
So to the two of you in here acting all high and mighty and treating us like fools, you can stick it where the sun don't shine and give it a rest. Stop trying to spread your bs saying we are lying and the video is staged. Shows how desperate you are.

Except that the people who agree with sharding in the starting zones at launch aren't the desperate ones. We're the ones getting what we want.
You anti-sharders are the desperate ones. Grasping at straws trying to find any excuse, no matter how untrue, to try and get Blizzard to change their minds.
I will post every day, e-mail their team every day, tweet them every day, just to press home the fact that there are people that actually appreciate what they are doing for Classic and agree that a sharded launch experience is leagues better than the disaster the starting zones would be without it.

If we open the door to sharding, they could also utilize it for launches like the Scourge Invasion and the AQ gates. Which would be horrendously bad.
I'm hesitantly accepting of having it at launch for a short duration, but they are rightfully using it as a last resort.
So Blizzard should shard the early zones to try and appease players who are going to leave anyway?

Ah yes the quintessential Vanilla experience: having 50 players suddenly appear when you join a group. My nostalgia meters will go through the roof.

Sharding.."You think you don't but you do"
if only blizzard would stop trying to give us what they think is best, and give us what we asked for.
What happened to "warts and all" ?

Last I checked desperate people are the ones who try to spread lies and false information, not the other way around. I just linked two pages in my above post that proves we aren’t lying when we say we were told one thing, yet another happened.
If it wasn’t from my own personal experience of being there and experiencing first hand when it all took place at Legion’s launch, I wouldn’t be as bothered by Blizzard’s words of sharding being only temporary. I would be disappointed, but at least to know that it wouldn’t become a permanent thing, I would probably just wait until the initial rush and wait until it was removed and play. But since I did experience it and saw how they went back on their word, I don’t believe what they say unfortunately. I wish I could.
Will it be just like the Legion launch and the thread and twitter post I linked of oops, it was a mistake and a hotfix is in the works only for them to later go back on that? Or will they stand by their words this time? I unfortunately don’t have much faith that they will.

You're kind of an idiot. I already established and backed up with a link that RP shardless has never and will never apply to legion (or
BFA) zones (order halls were apparently an exception). The blue post in that link is them getting as annoyed as I am right now that you idiots can't read. The Tweet is them fixing a bug in order halls that made them shard.
ALL CURRENT EXPANSION ZONES SHARD. The removal of sharding applied only to older zones and only if there wasnt some game-driven event in that zone at the time.
Read the blue post in the link I provided. Read the posts I made. You are illiterate or willfully ignorant at this point. It's the only conclusion that can be reached.
"It was a common occurrence in legion"... literally Blizzard "RP is going shardless except in legion zones and old zones with gsme-driven events".
I dont have to try hard to make you out to be a fool and liar. All the proof is here.
Will it be just like the Legion launch and the thread and twitter post I linked of oops, it was a mistake and a hotfix is in the works only for them to later go back on that? Or will they stand by their words this time? I unfortunately don’t have much faith that they will.
Blizzard literally said on 8/7/2017 that RP was going shardless for all old zones, but will shard in all current expansion zones and all zones where there is a game-driven event that draws players en masse to a zone.
Please. Read. Before. Replying.

We arent 'defending' Blizzard. We are letting all these people know that they are misrepresenting things, lying about what Blizzard promised to RP servers, and letting a stupid YouTube video drive them into a frenzy over nothing.
Really, I'm just making sure someone in these threads is actually presenting the truth instead of raging that Blizzard lied about sharding to RPers. They didn't, RPers just apparently can't read.
