There is no evidence to this.
People would rather wait in long ques then play on lower population servers.

Then why were there many more server choices in Classic when there were queues instead of everyone stacking on 6-10 servers less than a year ago?

Lol these forums were erupting when queues were in place over layers. Ill bet if guilds were sitting there with 19 on every raid night waiting for their other 6 in a queue theyâd start caring.
One of blizzards missteps was catering to those that refused to alleviate the issue they created

This is such a stupid head in the sand comment, I wish people would stop saying it.
Itâs like a government taking away all laws along with the entire police force and then blaming the citizens for increased crime rates and telling them they should fix it themselves.

Lol. People xfer to mega servers because they find groups faster but wouldnât stay on a lesser populated server to play faster or play ally for faster queues?? Stay in your SOM fairyland until that dies too pls
This is totally blizzards fault. I mean there was minor server issues in classic but it was nothing compared to whatâs going on now. There was a few servers like skeram (which I was a part of) but for the most part things were fine.
It wasnât till boosts hit that things started to drastically change, boosts caused a variety of problems which in my opinion had multiple domino effects that caused so many different server issues that people got fed up and either quit and or transferred for greener pastures. Blizzard didnât step in at all and now we are in dire straights.

It does seem pretty convenient that it was offered at the same time as racial meta shifted from alliance to horde / loss of paladin exclusivity to alliance
I mean - we know that happened.
Herod didnât loose any substantial population when they offered free xfers off.
I left Herod at the start of Classic as did MANY others who I ended up playing with so that specific example is always bizarre when I see it.
If everyone was fine with sitting in 4-hour queues to play on mega servers in Classic we wouldnât have had the server choice we did. Thankfully we got diverse server choice. The mega servers for those who liked them, the smaller servers for those who like that. Choice is better for everyone, no choice does nothing positive it just lessens the game experience for people who donât like or want mega as the only option.
I, too, originally rolled on Herod but very quickly went to Sulfuras instead. I donât want to wait 30+ minutes to login, so rerolling on a medium-pop was a wise idea. And it was â up until TBC launched.

Which is exactly what started to happen when TBC first launched.
So why was it a good idea?
You knew what was going to happen.

Itâs almost like you havenât played TBC and played p1 or 2 of classic then quit. Stop providing incorrect antecdotes. Maybe actually try playing current TBC before you decide to have an opinion
The bots that raidâŚright.
Just stop. Stop blaming the players for something Blizzard has created with their GREED. Itâs just sickening to see people do that.

Blizzard didnât create this problem.
Why do people say symptoms are what caused the problem?
Itâs a reoccurring problem.

Yes they did.

Itâs fairly easy to predict and argue that if you remove all of those things - the problem still exists.

Multiple realms would not have collapsed within a month, without those things. Get real.

Indeed, because people would have put the effort into saving their realms and making the best of it rather than jumping ship at the first sign of trouble.
Most people are far more willing to pay to save their limited time this go around, when they probably wouldnât have been so eager to move if the only choice was to reroll.
