they refuse to release realm information, realm pop, nor can you transfer an entire guild, to help people make that move.
make more realms? not wait 3 years to fix a problem?
Terengen was pretty clear with his solutions and even listed off multiple good ones for fixing the queues

They reduced realms because players were upset over dead realms they introduced a couple new ones and then said they wanted to wait to make more for a couple weeks after launch to see the server populations.
They are trying to avoid dead servers after the nostaglia wears off and dragon isle is released.

Blizzard is a failure. They should have done something about the low pop servers that were unplayable. When they didnât people paid to solve the problem themselves. Blizzard failed when they charged people to pay extra to find playable servers. When paying for several characters to transfer people didnât trust blizzard enough to go to a medium pop server so they moved to mega servers. Thatâs the second blizzard failure. And now after those repeated failures people are skittish about transferring to another server because they think they might have to pay to transfer again is that server fails.
tldr: Blizzard failed. Youâre a blizzard simp.

Alright. So stop being unrealistic and fix your own problem, or grow a backbone and vote with your wallet. 
Clearly the failed company isnât going to fix your problems for you.
Enjoy your queue. 
Iâm not in a queue. Iâm not playing wrath. Blizzard effed it up too much for me. Maybe you like this retail version of wrath but I wanted to play authentic wrath.

Yeah, okay. See you in Northrend!
I went AFK and didnât realize my laptop had disconnected from the internet, and when I returned Iâm back stuck sitting in 10k queue⌠Lovely⌠How long is the disconnection grace period?
So what youâre saying is they should lock almost all servers permanently even when there are no queues because at some point in the future people may come back to the game and cause queues?
And also somehow prevent people from re-subbing and playing their existing characters that exist on these servers?
Itâs pretty simple. Blizzard makes a bunch of servers. Everyone knows their are caps (that Blizzard has raised considerably to try and help).
So, players dog pile 3 servers, then make a surprised pikachu face when during popular periods like an expansion launch they have a queue.
If I had a magic bullet solution I wouldnât be here on the message boards. Same as you.
They knew. They let it happen. They took the money. Never oversell a product you canât provide. Thatâs first day in business 101.

The magic solution is cross realming the entire game, but the classic playerbase has a heart attack if you mention it.
Let everyone be able to play with everyone, all their friends, no matter what server they are on.
Today, I had to maintain my character ânot afkâ for 8 hours, so that I could play tonight when my kid is asleep. Itâs either that, or I canât play at all. This is stupid.
People will say âyou are part of the problemâ. Well I wasnt the last 2 days, it it was impossbile for me to play. This was my only option.
I still think individual servers are obsolete and a hinderance to any MMO. They served their purpose when the technology wasnât as good. Now? Get rid of them. One PVP, one PVE, link them all.
Also⌠The die hard classics have a heart attack if you mention anything that wasnât originally there. Theyâve been collectively losing their minds for 5 years over anything they think isnât pure.

What do you want them to do? They canât fix the stupid player base that decided to stack on 1 or 2 servers.
Xfer off for free or stop crying and wait.
Offer up the free move to lighten the load, then offer a free transfer back when the smoke clears. Does it fix the long term problem? No. But it would satisfy the mob gathering the pitchforks and torches. Otherwise, any experienced player knows full well a dead realm is no fun compared to a megaserver. Thereâs a reason half the US player base is on two servers.

Youâd complain about any other solution they come up with too.
I personally think a forced server split should take place.
Just me though.
Hereâs how it goes down:
For 1 week, each player on the realm can choose Server A or Server B. First come first serve, selection opens at prime time Saturday evening.
For those too slow, too dumb, or indifferent about choosing, theyâre at the mercy of the split.
Server split takes place, mega-server solved.

It doesnât help that the servers theyâre letting Benediction players transfer to are Horde servers.
It should be pretty obvious that people who played on a single faction mega server donât want a mixed faction medium server.
Maybe if a lot of people moved over the faction balance would change eventually but thatâs not gonna happen because very few players want to commit to a transfer with the hope that maybe other players will transfer too.
Edit-Shygirlâs solution sounds really good, it would accomplish the main goal: split the mega server and it would let people stay in touch with their friends if they can coordinate together to move where they are.
The mega servers are so large that even if one of them ends with a bigger population than the other they would both still be quite big.
