Create a 'Benediction 2' Server and Cross-Realm Join it to Benediction

Benediction

What if the solution is to cross-realm join two Benediction servers? The ability to be in a cross-realm guild was there in Classic Era servers. This satisfies the need players have for wanting to be a part of the ‘largest community.’ It also, from a technical standpoint, offloads players to a separate server (with a separate economy), that remains linked to the original Benediction for community purposes and provides a relief valve for the amount of connections made to the server that bring down Auction House services… Thoughts?

A technical solution that cleverly uses existing technology, giving both parties what they desire.

some ppl may not like separate economies. and how would item trading work? idk how it worked in classic-era realms, but if blizz can make item trading work then this tbh

often overlooked is the fact that classic-era realms were cross-server joined with cross-realm guilds. traditionally, guilds have been restricted to a single realm. What you propose is essentially cross-realms without the restrictions on guilds.

If blizzard adds naming restrictions across these two realms so that names are unique between them then it would still feel like one community… so there wouldn’t be two people with the same name except one is on benediction 1 and the other is on benediction 2.

and to take it one step up, what if all realms were just joined together with unique naming restrictions and the ability to join guilds cross-realm. that’s something that classic-era servers had that retail never had

I don’t get why they never did this on Retail. Blizzard added “Cross-Realm Communities” instead, and then showed that they could have just done cross-realm guilds when they allowed it in Classic-Era.

Classic-era joined servers in a way that Retail and Classic never have. That may be the solution to all of this!!!
