Benediction population has ballooned in the past month and many guilds are transferring off Pagle to Benediction despite the threat of queues because of “Greener Pastures” even though Pagle is decently sized. It is making the community worried about the servers future and causing a mass migration scare. More and more guilds are transferring due to FOMO and thinking Pagle will die now some of the best guilds have all transferred off.
Why is Blizzard allowing transfers to Benediction when it has become bigger than Firemaw? It is obviously another megaserver in the making and it won’t be a positive experience. Meanwhile it is like watching Pagle slowly die and Blizzard isn’t doing anything to stop Benediction’s growth.
Going from 10200 to 10000 is not slowly dying tho, that’s nothing.
Stop doomposting about Pagle please, there’s nothing serious going on right now, IF, SW and Shatt are still as populated as before.
The people from Pagle don’t want Grobbulus-style PVP though. The biggest thing that these players would hate is something like CRZ with other servers (there won’t be a merge) putting factions and World PVP back in the game. I’d find the complaints funny about this because the choice to move to a PVP server was 100% on these players. However, this is very unlikely to happen.
I used to think that the servers were changed to not have queues for TBCC, but then saw what happened with Firemaw EU having long queues and later saw the blue post (which I found very interesting, describing a lot of details).
Now it’s possible Blizzard does something to have these queues not happen, but they will need to before pre-patch, because all of the returning players and more people in the world vs instances will cause queues to happen otherwise. EU is just a different region. NA servers are not immune.
Ask Blizzard and then yourselves.
No one would be moving anywhere if we had LFD.
There wouldn’t be a worry of not finding people to do things with.
You guys wanted a community, so you’re getting it.
Queue times are a minor inconvenience for x hours to x days until it waves out.
I rather have that than be on a ded server sooo.
Hop on Mega or suffer.
We love pvp servers, they don’t exist no one wants to go to grobb to pvp because we don’t like RP servers.
We were on PVP servers all of classic doing actual balanced pvp all of classic.
The servers all became lopsided for horde and alliance and the safest thing to do is move to a server that your faction owns so you can actually play the game.
Let them launch whatever you want and if it’s balanced literally no one will care.
If it’s 70/30 then ofc you gonna see people cry, it’s why they xfered on the first place.
Running to SSC on whitemane for raid on a 80/20 server isn’t pvp no matter how much you want It to be.
It’s your 25 people slamming into 400 horde at the entrance.
The people transferring from Pagle absolutely do not want a PVP server.
That’s who I was referring to in that post, not you who transferred from Whitemane or whatever PVP server.
Did the people from Pagle want PVP in Classic? Nope.
These players from PVE servers are going to Benediction because they assume they don’t have to deal with PVP while still getting the player pool of alliance that they want.
