Who is that guy who keeps demanding links to proof of the devs statements about sharding… where is he now…???
Asking you to back up your claims is unreasonable? We really have reached a new low

But I have because it was in the BlizzCon Classic Panel I have stated that more than once… PS your cognitive dissonance is starting to show…
Dude I wasn’t arguing. I was stating something that yes is still possible. They lied about sharding on rp servers

Your source doesn’t confirm classic is getting sharding. Does it put it in the highly likely category? Yes. 100% confirm? No.
What is their word? That they are considering limited sharding. That’s pretty easy to live up to. They consider, reject, then fully shard as with the demo.
Word kept. So I wouldn’t use that as my standard of “nice guy”.
We need more info to be about to hold Blizzard to a standard. That or double down on no change. Which ever works.
Didn’t they lie about sharding on rp servers? Again actually asking. I think I remember hearing that.
LoL, what on earth does that mean?

You haven’t provided a single link, especially to the ones you claim were posted “multiple times in this thread”.
And no, blurting out “blizcon panel” doesn’t cut the mustard. It did not confirm sharding.

I have heard several different 2nd hand claims to that with several different variations to that story.
Don’t know the factual details.
Depends on the server i think, I know on moonguard EVERYONE went nuts and they stopped doing it ASAP, same with WRA. I’m not sure about the old RP-pvp servers,
That’s just such a scum bag move to lie to your customers.
Yes they did
They said it was only going to be for new expansions but they had some form of “issue” the made it game/server wide which for some reason took a couple of expansions to figure out.
Sharding plain and simple isnt needed, at all, ever.
The only justification for it i read over and over in these threads are me me me. Supporters also have a tendency to say “dont like it wait” again a typical me me me response especially when the same philosophy applies to them as well.
Sure someone may throw in server stability but that has been bedunked on multiple occasions mainly by using the launch of past expansions.
I remember how Shadowbane dealt with starting zones on day of release (at least on my server). They had GMs controlling elite ogres running from camp to camp smashing groups apart that were huddled together waiting for spawns.
Having decided to have the subs linked is the prime contributor to the potential launch bloat (beyond what would be normal launch congestion). They caused one issue, and use it as justification to cause another.
If you’re lagging. Then get rid of that ancient hardware
it was like he was having a good dream and then woke up ![:rofl:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/rofl.png?v=6" ":rofl:")
Tell us all why those who want the convenience of reduced. Competition that sharding provides cannot wait until the initial rush is over.

Because it’s not even about the “reduced competition.” It’s about server stability. It’s about being able to actually play the damn game without lag spikes and constant DC’s and login qeues.
NONE of that is good for the game. I’ll take one diehard anti-sharder’s hurt feelings over an unplayable game.
Keep dancing around with those goal posts.
Just because I don’t mention every single reason there is in every single post doesn’t mean I’m moving goal posts. Server stability didn’t even factor in to our discussion.
