There is no reason to not have all of these RP / RP-PvP realms merged together to get a more immersive game experience for the RP / RP-PvP community. The horde to alliance balance is too skewed on multiple servers and have lead to little to no interaction between the factions for RP-PvP and all but killed the political battle and RP-PvP scene.
The WoW mega servers illidan - Area 52 - Mal’Ganis… etc all have 30-40k+ server population…
the RP/RP-PvP realms wouldn’t even come close to those numbers. All 3 servers mentioned combined would be around 17.5k. Less than Mal’Ganis alone. Looking at the faction balance combining all 3 servers and their connected servers would still maintain a fairly close faction balance. There really is no difference between RP and RP-PvP anymore with the option of War-Mode. Just merge them all together please for the benefit of the player base.

Agreed. I think we could have a great single server if we grabbed everyone from there.
I love ED, but it’s so unrecognizable now compared to when I first rolled on it for the wPvP events and active Horde and Alliance communities.
Realistically I wish they would merge more servers, but besides the guild / player character name overlap issues, it’s probably a bigger lift in the back end than we expect. Otherwise it probably would’ve been done by now - there’s so many dead servers drifting out there.
It’s nuts to do a /who human warrior 80 and 50+ hits on Stormrage, but then roll on my Horde toon on Kargath and just do a /who 80 and have less than 50 level capped Kargath players return from the command.
Yeah. The RP servers are slowly dying off, due to the lack of alliance to horde interactions b/c the players have segregated the factions to separate servers that have the most of their particular faction to get more interaction with their chosen faction. But, in this process the inter-faction interactions have dwindled to almost nothing. Which as a result killed the RP-PvP aspect of RP, and the political balance of the servers are non existent as a result of that as well.
Absolutely no reason to not combine all RP / RP-PvP servers. The community is taking a hit each and every expansion/tier.
I have to hard disagree, the community that these servers established would be completely destroyed. I get wanting more horde on moonguard and more alliance on wyrmrest accord, the simple fact is that people don’t want to be on the same server. If you want cross faction rp there are discords, in game communities etc specifically for that. Making everyone have to deal with all the downsides just to reinvigorate a dead part of rp would be a horrible decisions which is exactly why blizzard hasn’t and should never merge the servers together.
Yet you couldn’t even list the downsides. There are NO downsides. The choice of War mode ON or warmode OFF negated any unwanted forced RP or forced interaction.
No community would be destroyed… they would be empowered and embraced even further.
