It is just a roll of the dice until layers are removed.
I am bummed cause I started my alliance toons on westfall and my horde on windseeker.
This post has gone off topic. I just want to say that Heartseeker was medium population last night, in case any of you are scared of transferring. Thereâs a lot of us on that server now. The more the merrier!

Why does Westfall have a transfer? We are a really healthy high pop server with NO ques

Please please let me switch to a pve server. Im on biggles and pvp isnt my cup of tea. Im to high a lvl to re start.
I know this is subjective, but 24 is not that far in. To give you some reference point. It takes just as long to go from 58 to 60 as it does to go from 1-20.
Good luck.

I see some people asking why their realms have transfers available. They state that they currently have no queues.
That alone, does not mean that your realm is no longer overpopulated. The moment layering is deactivated, you could shoot back up to hours long queues.
Transfers will be ongoing. Expect to see them again and again. Expect to see queues and more transfers as phase 2 comes online. Expect to see your total realm population shrink if it is high/full.
I think I would be more apt to use this service if I could choose which low pop server to move to. The full servers at launch have fragmented my friend base across a bunch of full servers. It would be great if we could coordinate and all choose a low pop to move to. Any chance you could let us choose?

Theyâre probably worried that players on multiple realms might coordinate, causing a huge surge in transfers to one server. The destination realm might become too full too quickly and theyâd have to cut off transfers ahead of the announced deadline. If they did that, friends/guilds might get split and there would be player outrage. Meanwhile, the other low pop realms wonât get many new transfers because everyone coordinated to go to the same one.

I assume the reason they are doing this is not because of current queues but because they are trying to get server pops to a level that they can remove layering without then creating huge queues.
Was reading another post and Blizzard does seem to be reducing the max cap of players when they remove layering which would increase Queue times. It is post 60 I believe.

I think most of us wouldnât mind starting over at all if it were 15 years ago.
Itâs just hard on those with full time jobs and family. Hell I donât even have kids just a GF and a side business and starting over is just so daunting⌠as much as I love the game I donât know if I should just wait to see if Blizzard offers anything or stop playing for a bit as not to get burned out.

Blizzard reduces the player cap when they remove layers. This causes longer queues.

Thanks Holycow that is what I was looking at.

The queue is not there now, but Blizzard knows that if they remove layering⌠queues will exist for all of these realms listed.
Old vanilla servers had 2,500 to 3,000 player caps. Mankrik is sitting at a total of over 60,000+ characters, if you include both factions. Of course, this is all the alts and tourists included⌠but 60,000 characters trying to get into a bottleneck of 3,000 to 5,000⌠even 10,000 spaces is not looking good.
Man, youâre an mvp. You know how to read blue posts, go do it, we arenât your search engine. This info has come from Blizz, thatâs why so many are pointing it out. Educate yourself or get out of the thread.
wheres the blizzard source on this?
I opened a ticket but apparently you changed Incendiusâs free transfer realm option to Heartseeker while me and my crew were half way migrated to Netherwind already⌠This is a kick in the face.

This is crap. Trying to get off this full server and join my friends that joined early/late/transferred but I canât get to the realm theyâre on. Open up the transfer options. Not everything in the vanilla experience is wanted and needs to stay the same. Hour queue times to login is something no one wants to experience ever again.
