Assumptions always Lead to Accusations.
Im just going to outright accuse them of Non Communication.
althought I donot agree with locking auto moved characters for a week+ just becasue tehy didnt let us know where we were getin migrated too.
They prolly waiting to see who does freebies first so they can divvy out the stalwart homesteaders
Blizzard we are a couple days away from consolidation. Will you please tell us what’s happening?!
Still waiting and playing on Stalagg…
We still do not have a full list of retiring realms and their destinations. This was supposed to be available “soon” when the consolidation was announced 2 months ago. When should we expect the complete list?
After the consolidation, can we please disable all layers, bring back queues, and offer free transfers off mega servers to spread the population away from them?
Lol, that won’t happen.
Probably not, but it’s the only way to break up the megaservers fairly I think.
Also, screw layers, they ruin RP, bring back layer free grobbulus
Still no update…
Whether or not Blizzard actually will do it, it’s the right thing to do.
Megaservers killed these realms, and Blizzard enabled it.
For the love of Elune! Please give us an update Blizzard!
any update on when transfers for the rest of the realms will be opened up like EU had this week?
INB4 it’s delayed till next week or something…
Enabled it? Maybe?
Players were demanding transfers since Classic’s launch. We got them. I do agree that it wasn’t good for the overall health of the game. However, players bailed off of servers that had relatively healthy populations because they wanted an easier time finding groups. Heartseeker went to healthy and fun to dead in a matter of weeks.
We had transfer to the surviving RP server (and an accident!)
BUT … we all need a list over which servers will be discontinuued and where players from these realms will be dumped!
Use of layers and removal of queues are the two biggest enabling that Blizzard did.
With queues and no layers, then players would naturally seek comfortable servers, and megaservers would not grow to this size where they dominate the landscape.
No date on pre-patch either or how long it’s going to be! You’ll take no communication and you’ll like it. Now pay that sub and buy the northrend pass!
I don’t think they are delaying anything, they have the servers offline for 4 hours for maintenance tomorrow, I just think they aren’t communicating well. Like normal. People don’t even know where their characters are going.
Maybe we will get an update today, maybe on Wednesday after it’s done. Maybe next week people will find where their characters went and post about it on here with no word from Blizzard at all. Who knows.
If people haven’t transferred just go to Grobb today. it’s the most healthy of the choices at the moment.
No update today? This is unbelievable!
To play devil’s advocate, implementing layers could have been a smart move, if handled better. Implementing layers during new content releases makes a lot of sense. Layered realms shouldn’t be a default.
Have they said what is going to happen to our Guild Banks and Guild’s on the servers they are closing?
I would be fine with a refund.
