Thanks for your useless insight, but if you have no intelligence to share, perhaps you’re better off burying your head in the sand elsewhere.
it isn’t just the matter of 8 hours being invested, it was the matter of blizzard taking prepayments for people to reserve their names weeks before launch. Many people paid for this privilege and took this opportunity. All the while there was only ONE server choice for Oceanic players to choose from. There was no word of there ever going to be a 2nd.
A 2nd was released while people were in 12 hour long queues to get into that one and only serve they made for us and with little to no warning about it going online. Therefore, all those friends with reserved names would be losing their reserved names by rolling onto the fresh, 2nd server we got given to us later on launch day.
So not only are they losing a little bit of invested time, but their PAID FOR reserved names.
All because blizzard did not have the decency to give us enough realms to begin with.
Many friends dont want to lose their level 20+ toons AND even more importantly their reserved names, to join my server.
And no, use what intelligence you have rattling around that skull of yours and i’m sure you understand just fine what I was saying, misspellings or not.
So let me get this straight, there are a couple of people that initially chose the wrong servers, willingly or not, and now need a one-time-only transfer to correct this mistake and move together with their friends.
However, the same people use this argument to push for an unlimited server transfer service that will clearly have a bad impact on the community.
They have no good argument against that other than forcing Blizzard to repeat old mistakes because … why learn?
Good job guys! clap clap
Some people didn’t have a choice on what server to play on unless you expected them to spend the entire first 2 weeks waiting in ridiculously long Q times. Those with 8-5 jobs were very limited. Vanilla had transfers as well so this isn’t a new thing. I understand they came later, but this is a completely different situation and it’s needed now.
Stop projecting onto other people. Just because YOU weren’t or aren’t impacted by this, stop telling the THOUSANDS of people who are that they made a mistake. The launch was horrendous and the community wasn’t at fault and I don’t blame Blizzard either for not anticipating this demand. But something needs to be done, and soon or people will lose interest and stop playing. That’s the reality regardless if you agree or not.
What do you actually think will happen when paid xfers happen? What is this sky is falling/judgment day scenario you so fervently keep running in your head?
If you couldn’t wait to play so bad you rolled on a realm knowing you’d be separate from your friends, that’s on you. Such a rush should have been anticipated. That being said I feel bad for the folks that didn’t have work or took work off for it.
I’m fine with paid transfers. Honestly I would even like them to remove the duo-faction limitation on PVP servers. I’ve got friends on both factions on my server. Faction and race changes should stay out though.
They were in vanilla and they will be in classic Blizzard knows people want them and will make a lot of money from them. I’d say they will be here a little after or around the same time as they remove layering.
Somehow, my guild managed to coordinate moving 20ish people from Herod to Stalagg to Sulfuras in the space of a couple days. This was just impossible for everyone else, I guess.
Vanilla did have paid transfers that had a very long transfer Cooldown (6 months I believe). It got lowered overtime, until they made it possible to do it as many times as possible.
lol at you NEETs that don’t think this service will come into play. Blizzard just looks at the end-game of profit, and since this service will help them - for both low and full realms - it will be implemented.
Unfortunately no one will remember you, but that’ll be a tough pill to swallow. Communities change, just like in real life. You should know this.
So is there any type of timeline as to when people could expect any paid character services? What if people stop playing until they come out? What if people lose interest entirely? Blizzard needs to capitalize on the fact that people’s wallets are still open and they have our attention.
