WoW isn’t designed to be a single faction game, especially on a PvP server. Blizzard should absolutely not do anything to help foster a one faction environment, and I doubt they will. They are ending mega servers, suffer in queue or move(or quit).
Keeping your one faction mega realm viable is not on their list, at all.
We paid big $ to move from Fairbanks to Whitemane, then to Bene. The reason was that it is too big to fail and we do not want to move again. The mega realm ensures raiding population to be healthy
The only way to solve this is to use the retail system that allows cross-realm gameplay. That’s when people can move any realm without drawback.
I think you have a little grasp of the current situation.
Cmon to Eranikus, don’t be afraid of wpvp on a pvp server 
Bruh… your solution is to remove all grace period on disconnects and make it so people have to stare at the queue for 6 hours or else lose their spot.
That won’t go well. It will be universally hated.
Not true tho. Another way to solve this is for a percentage of these people sitting in Q got their guild/friends together and picked a free xfer destination. No more Q for them and you help a lower/mid pop server come back to life. Win win, almost like maybe that’s what Blizz is trying to accomplish.
I get people’s apprehension but I don’t think we’re going to see a mass exodus a couple weeks into this that people seem to be so concerned with. Sure, of course there will be some tourists just here for a couple weeks but I think overall wotlk’s run is going to be closer to classic than TBC in terms of not dying out as quickly.
That combined with the fact that people are not considering how many realms they deleted. If your argument is that any of these non-megaservers will be dead in a couple weeks or even months then what you’re really saying is that you think wotlk is going to be wayyyyyy smaller population than what classic was and really even smaller than classic TBC somce all those realms were still existing throughout that run. I personally just do not think that’s the case but at this point enough people need to make the move and spread out. Until then it’s just going to be what we have right now which is some servers too overcrowded and some that need more people.
I didn’t say that was a solution.
I’m saying this is being widely reported by players.
Yesterday my queue reset twice exactly as I described,.
You were answering another guy on what you would do… not describing the current situation.
Hell… Give anyone that transfers to it a free boost! Then watch it fill up and benediction survive this
I just realized you asked for a “fresh new server with space for all the transfers.”
You’re asking for Eranikus, it already exist, just use it.
Did I just suggest as a solution to a non-problem something that was already happening?
Bruh it was your suggested solution. Did you have a stroke?
If everyone in queue at peak hours transferred to Eranikus it would have a 30,000 player queue close to 24 hours long.
Eranikus is Full… It can’t take 4 full realms worth of people
I play on Eranikus, there’s still plenty of space for more transfers. We’re like 7k concurrent players away from seeing queues.
They’re not opening more realms until this one fills and you also have Earthfury, it’s not new, but it definitely has space.
I would suggest a doctor but I don’t think there is anything that can be done to your case.
That’s less than half of Benediction’s queues and doesn’t account for faerlina, sulfurus, and grobb
Yes, there are that many players in queue, but they’re not all transferring there. If they were, it would see queues soon and be locked.
Are you coordinating a move between half of 3 realms? I doubt it.
The simple fact remains that there is not enough space. If Benediction queues fell by 75% right now there would still be a 2+ hour queue. There needs to be more incentive to move.
I agree, there should be more incentive to move. However, I disagree with the implication that they should open 3 new realms in the hopes that just the right amounts move in equal proportions to each.
When one fills, they open another.
