Since the new server has already been confirmed Blizzard needs to announce HC to HC transfers asap. By creating a new server blizzard has told all the current hc players they need to reroll to reset the economy and introduce phases. This has brought back a large group of streamers and some of the followers they have. Ok great! HC players are used to rerolling if needed. There’s one giant problem. Blizzard is figuratively killing off any players on current hardcore realms that haven’t died. Or just stay on that hc server, which will probably lose population when the new hc server opens up. This would create more divide in the hc community, not bring it together. Those 60’s or perhaps 55+ characters should be offered free transfers. These transfers would be with limited gold and items. In addition, the transfers wouldn’t be available at the start and wouldn’t go into effect in till a set time.(30-40 days after launch.) This would allow hc players to enjoy the leveling process and not kill the work that many have already done. Why does blizzard need to announce this ASAP instead of later? Well, non streamers who aren’t getting paid to play wow probably play less, and hence might have a higher attachment to their hc characters. More importantly, the player base shouldn’t be forced to reroll the leveling process they already achieved. As most would agree HC is about the leveling journey. Knowing as soon as possible would prevent players from doubling up the process of leveling to 60. As many hc players try to achieve this on multiple class’s.
