It’s a shame that Blizzard pretty much allowed DD’s (and other realms as well) vibrant community be destroyed or die off.
It’s amazing on how much the players can work with so little.
But eventually that runs out and Blizzard just seems to want to ignore the problem and rake in the $$ from transfers, instead of acting now to do stuff.
DD is very dead now.
John Brown is a hero. 
This thread made me want to roll a Horde alt, but seeing as I main Grob I’m not sure I’d have enough time to get into the community (if there even would be one by the time I hit 70). Sounds like a cool realm, I played on a low Horde pop realm in original TBC and it was fun to know people.
Do check it out. If you want some chill leveling DD is the best. No one to bother you. If you ever get bored while leveling, join LFG during prime time. Its basically Barrens chat here.
I play Horde DD (and Alliance Grob). Horde DD still has a good community. The RP-PvP community works well together. LFG channel keeps the community tight knit.
Definitely, the population numbers are sagging but I am keeping my Horde toons there. Connecting to Grob would be ideal but Blizzard doesn’t seem like they will be doing anything like that.
They hadn’t even linked Era DD with Grobb, so I doubt they’ll do anything here like that.
Yeah, it’s really bizarre that DD and Grob are not linked to any other servers in Classic Era. The lack of care by Blizzard really is astonishing.
And to think we were quibbling about the cloning fee at one point lol. Even $5 cloning is too much for what they are delivering.
They only just now linked the era servers together, by just combining them together into Whitemane.
Now if they’ll only acknowledge the issues that the TBC servers are experiencing, and do something for it.
Did they now link them? I thought they only offered free transfers.
Still that may be good news for low pop tbc servers for the future if they intend to replicate that here.
Na you’re right, they didn’t link them.
I think originally they linked the servers.
Now, they are just having everyone transfer to whitemane though.
Hear is hoping they’ll at least do some things for tbc…
It makes sense that they didn’t link them to any other servers. There are no other RP-PvP servers in either of those clusters. They tend to link like types together, but Grob and DD are in separate clusters from one another. I don’t think it has anything to do w/ “lack of care”, but more to do w/ the fact that RP-PvPers traditionally don’t WANT to be linked to regular PvE, RP, or PvP servers. I don’t.
I guess it’s not unheard of to link an east and west coast server together, though. I can’t recall if they have done this in the past.
I do know that I was a Ravenholdt native during original TBC era and after WoW’s sub numbers began dying off, it took them forever to link RH to any other server for similar reasons.
It’s a shame, because DD really does have a pretty great community, but because of the way they handled the launch WAYYYY back in classic, it was more or less doomed from the start.
The only thing that can save it are transfers, which mean that “great community” will likely be drastically changed anyway.
Grob and DD are not in any clusters. They remain standalone servers unlinked to anyone else. DD has zero players playing Classic Era.
This was a bungled effort by Blizzard to leave populations like this.
This didn’t age well
