this would only work if they locked transfers to higher pop servers so low pop servers were the only option. nobody wants to transfer to a “dead server.” Its a self fulfilling prophecy.
Free transfers is how most of these servers got ruined.
Along with the player base.
I have no doubt that there are high pop transferring to low pop to scalp like this. I really don’t think its an only Grobb thing, nor does it represent the server as a whole, so I am afraid I do not understand what the reply is inferring.
More or less showing the "general animosity’ you were talking about.
I have no doubt, but also these:
We’ve received reports from a Grobbulus player that Horde is in trouble on Grobbulus: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/poach-horde-from-other-servers/305032/19 There’s a solution, though! If you’re feeling unhappy with Horde side here on Grobbulus, whether because you’re getting ganked by that “large Alliance guild” he mentions, or you’re unable to find roleplay amidst the sea of nonroleplay names, or you can’t get a competent tank for your dungeon group, just transfer to Deviate Delig…
Just sayin… First
If you’ve ever wrote RP prose, If you know your character’s father’s name, if you know where your language function is or have ever gotten wasted in character… If your druid maintains the druid truce. If your character’s motivations influence your actual gameplay. If you would abandon a scheduled raid to defend the Warchief- Lets just bump these trolls/minmaxers/and stream dodgers, and bounce. Go make a story with fellow story tellers. Good luck slugging it out here gunslingers, imbibers, poet…
Remember: If you see poacher posts, realize they are desperate for population and are counting on you being gullible. Servers that are open to transfer to are that way for a reason. Either they’re new and the pop is catastrophically low, or the pop is on life support. They always die. None of them will have the community Grobbulus has. There is no way to return once you regret your decision. Do not be fooled by enemy propaganda.
Tomorrow, Thursday, September 19 at 11:00 a.m. PDT (2:00 p.m. EDT) They’re enabling transfers to DD again for the people interested. The community feels a lot like the old Ravenholdt servers while Grob is more like Emerald Dream
Horde! Do you want easy kills of soft, faction majority Alliance? Gnomes for appetizers and dessert at every meal? Are you true Horde, ready to slaughter Alliance in every battleground and zone in Azeroth? Transfer to Deviate Delight today! Free transfers from Grobbulus to Deviate Delight open tonight at 5pm PT, 8pm ET, and continue into the weekend. Deviate Delight is approximately 60/40 A:H, which means plenty of inexperienced Alliance to kill in the world, and short battleground queues …
A few of the posters here were repeat offenders or would cause inflammatory posts in Grobbulus forums. And I am sure, if we search ‘poach’ in Deviate Delight, we’ll see something similar.
at least there’s no more queues though…remember when it was unplayable due to queues?
Couldn’t they just merge both RPPvP servers? Seems like the best solution w/o having to pay for a server xfer
How would they make that transfer money then?
or can always just reroll for free

Could not have happened to a crappier server. Between the horde shaman who thinks he’s great at pvp to the roided greek guy flirting with the server disc guy he thought was a girl to the emo rogue in org all day that couldn’t pvp to save her life. Oh…I forgot Hagrim… how could I forget him. Glad to see DD go asunder.

Jokes aside
What was the name of the horde shaman and emo rogue… ???
horde shaman is ulkragg, who just transferred to Grobb. Not sure what emo rogue you mean.
Most of the people on DD are wonderful people. There just happens to be a few opinion leaders that have ground the server into dust by scaring away anyone that didn’t kiss their butts.
Oh you’ll know once you hear it. She has had several pfp on discord where she looks relatively emo and her characters have generic names followed by “rogue”, “mage”, etc. Example: Dangerousrogue, Dangerousmage, etc. Frequently went to Org to gank in the drag; feel like she went to org more then you even. She trolls A LOT on the old discord before it got shut down by the owner.
That’s sad. I played on a real similar to DD back in the day, you knew people. I didn’t have to shift click someone’s name to know their class.
I rolled this warrior on DD to check it out, keeping my main on Grob. Eventually, during tbc prepatch I brought him over to tank dungeons for my guildies. Was hard to get into such a low pop realm, but I always wished I had.
Defiasbandit? She transferred, got glad, transferred back, now is complaining the server is dead. Too bad she’s stuck here now lol.
I originally rolled on Grobb, decided to reroll on Deviate when it was released to avoid long queue times. I do not regret my decision, this is a great server. I probably know almost everyone on the server, if not directly then at least indirectly. Now though it has gotten so low past the point of sustainability.
