I’m working outside today, 14 hours or so.
How is it looking?
Yeah, and 90% of the 20% probably stopped because of the q’s.
Stay hydrated!
I don’t know, working myself for now. I believe the transfers don’t start until 5 PM PDT so not for about 12 hours from now. I don’t expect it to be a good thing if there truly are no limits.
We are going to hit a wall of gankers. Its going to be ugly.

I’m all for world PVP and such, that’s why I’m on a PVP server. However, it’s not healthy to allow an influx of people who’ve had nearly double the time to level and gear up. A recipe for disaster.

They should have listened to blizzy’s warning
Please reconsider letting people come to netherwind so soon. We are such a fresh server compared to the rest letting people transfer here is going to ruin it.

This is a serious issue that needs to be resolved nearly as much as the exploitation of layering, and the fact they would even allow this after encouraging people to play on the newer servers to escape queue times is quite worrying.

Slightly off topic…
What do people consider to be a “dead” server? The concern many have expressed is that these new servers will be “dead” in a few months.
I played a low pop realm (Boulderfist) from 2004-2019. Even in a 2004 low pop realm I would still see people out in the world in about every zone. The main drawback I remember was the lack of raid guilds, who could actually progress beyond bwl content, to join. That and bgs were controlled by one alliance and one horde premade team.
I would think a classic server “ghost town” would still be much more populated than 2004 Boulderfist.

Letting people with 4 days extra playtime in, isn’t going to ruin anything. In a week or two everyone will be at the same point anyhow.

The queues have been crazy long on Herod since launch because people think “the other realms will be a ghost town”. Meanwhile, blizzard has been adding realm after realm because those “ghost town” realms are filling up.
It’s going to be ok

4 extra days of playtime is 4 more than the people had that started there, such as myself. It’s complete BS!!!

If they waited this long without rerolling what harm is there in letting them wait a week or two? Why not wait to see if these new servers have a healthy enough population to sustain them? Netherwind is a medium pop server most hours. We don’t need overflow to have a healthy community.
I think the best bet is to see if those new servers have the desired numbers they want before dumping people into ours.

People arent moving off Herod or the other server. I moved one character this morning from Herod to Earthfury. This character has a decent name someone else probably would have taken but I was able to get. I was then able to create 7 new characters there with names that would have been immediately taken on a new server.
This is actually welcome news. Now there will be room for the people to xfer off of Thalnos and Incendius instead of sending them to Netherwind. What do you think Blizz?
Also i hope you deleted those toons just incase someone is trying to transfer with those names but hasn’t had a chance to lol.

Ahh just about the time the hurricane gets here. The southeast will have alot of people with no power/wifi to swap. Not the most inportant thing right now, but we may need an extension because i need off Pagle. I think Pagle was something like 23k alli and 7k horde approx. You cant get a quest done. Shouldve allowed alli off and then later let horde on depending on how many alli left . Idk, we cant reset release date but if they made a bunch of servers, dropped the cap to 5k and reset everything without layering i would be sooo behind that.
Look at Anathema, that place IS a ghost town, has been since it was created.
Good then change the transfers that were going to come to Netherwind to go to Earthfury instead. That solves all the problems.

Doesn’t quite solve the layering exploit, but solves the majority of issues.
