Any number of ways. Random lottery; a literal counting off of every ten players by email address or name; choosing guilds by lottery.
If your friends were chosen… well, that’s just the way the world works. What matters isn’t what good for you personally, but what’s good for the game as a whole.
Seems blizzard has decided that’s good for the game as a whole, and they don’t like what it is.
So take this, and relay it to the CB people being shuffled into CS.
Servers are a terrible and outdated system.
They should do what FF or Lost Ark do and just have world channels.
No one wants to babysit populations on 20 servers and try to keep them balanced and playable. And in a game with factions that have zero crossplay, if one faction dies off RIP that server.
/rub its okay kiddo kiddy kid kid
Hahahahahahahaha oh god this is gold
Yeah but he for some reason doesnt see the flaw in that logic lol, most people didnt even raid back then. Dudes not exactly a statistician.
Honestly, I can’t be too mad at the idea of transferring my guys over. This server was no Grobbulus. Do I acknowledge that Crusader Strike will not be Grobbulus? Yeah. Don’t matter—I’ll make my own fun with friends. Besides, there’s more red people to frag.
Lol…. /pat
this hunter failed to gank me outside tanaris. suddenly our interaction here has more depth. it’s a more social experience. the odds of a player i’m interacting with on CS being recognizable is a tenth that of CB going by pure population. this matters to many players on CB more than the convenience of easy grouping. this is a personal preference. i’m reading a lot of “you think you do, but you don’t” about small servers.
we aren’t given a sound reason for locking CB. the population is well above vanilla levels. there are several servers smaller than CB. server boundaries are now virtual; the marginal hosting cost of an additional realm is presumably less than the subs you drop by pulling the plug (which isn’t happening anyway, because CB will keep going for months). some large portion of CB’s playerbase feels stuck here because they chose CB to escape queues or something. so just let them leave; why lock it? the only reason i can come up with is that blizzard wants to prevent people from ruining their own gameplay by persisting in a “dead” server.
and the implementation is awful. there was next to no notice for locking. this happened right after a new phase was announced in less than 2 weeks. the transfers are broken, and some players are now playing cross-faction pvp characters on the same account. presumably blizzard will have to drag retail’s database admins over to fix the mess the SoD team made. and there’s been next to zero communication to thousands of alienated players.

I’m coming to the conclusion that they don’t understand Classic players. They come off as tone deaf half the time.
“You think you want classic, but you don’t”
“You think you want non-mega servers and community, but you don’t”
“You think you like leveling, but you don’t”
They need to hire someone that understands why classic is so loved.
I’m leveling up a Shaman now on CS and on layer 10… /smh. I’m not sure how I’ll feel when I move my last Alliance character over (finishing BM on CB.)
Freaking 10 layers… jesus.

Seriously. 10 layers is ridiculous. They should never allow such a state to happen. More than 1 at this point isn’t acceptable, as far as I’m concerned. But they’ve fully embraced this toxic Megaserver crap.
I’ve noticed after these free transfers to Lava Lash the last few days a big increase in chat advertisement spam for summons and portals and everything else. Starting to feel like a megaserver with that nonsense. People turn the game into a business when the servers are overcrowded.
Edit - Just editing my post after reading about the latest news of them basically killing Lava Lash and ‘encouraging’ players to transfer to megarealms. They did the same thing in Cata Classic, closing servers and forcing everyone onto Megarealms.
This is ridiculous. Again I ask: what is their obsession with Megaservers? Do they not realize some people don’t want to play on them? That they want an actual server community. Maybe they don’t want a world broken up into layers.
The entire Classic team should be fired. These clowns have no place running this game. So glad I unsubscribed.
