That’s true. I’d much rather see locking down transfers and realms as a whole than bring layering back, personally, but blizzard has the numbers and it’s up to them to manage that stuff. We have to look at the previous movement that was going on and their response - “OPEN THE TRANSFERS”, to which they did and now we’re at “GIVE US LAYERS”.
They can’t win even when they give us what we want.
Imagine players transferring TO a realm that is already over-crowded.
Imagine players creating a problem, then accusing Blizzard of being “greedy” because Blizzard doesn’t fix the player-caused problem.
I can’t even imagine players creating a problem, then demanding Blizzard fix the problem. That’s simply bizzarre to me.
Did Arugal have queues before paid realm transfers? If it did, maybe it is a Blizzard issue. But if the overcrowding was caused by realm transfers (like it was on the other overcrowded realms), it is a player issue.
Yeah, before it was locked and layered it did have queues and they were this bad. Blizzard caved because of covid’s population increase across all regions. Arugal cried then too.
Arugal had queues last week. With layers. And locked transfers.
Blizzard decision is just silly. No matter how you look at it.
We have the right to wish to play with a community that shares our time zone.
Yojamba? If it was to increase by 30% it would be above what Arugal is currently at…
Yojamba, 6922 + 30% (2076) = 8,998
Arugal, 9096

It most certainly would not be above Arugal, perhaps 20% is more to your liking?
We have up to 4000 players in queue each night. Transferring 2000 to Yojamba is not responsible.
Arugal might be slightly behind the most populated realms but is arguably the most active realm there is.
Even if 1000 moved over it would release some of the pressure. You also have to take into consideration that not all of those 2000 people would be playing at the exact same time. 2000 is a fine number.
BTW, We also need to take into consideration concurrent vs total.
Not when 4000 of us are in queue early evening. Those in queue at this time are who you would advise to transfer, no?
AFAIK the server cap is 5000? with 4000 in queue? Seems unfathomable but we are known as the most active realm.
Incorrect. I would advise those more casual and less likely to be doing AQ to transfer which would free up more slots than asking those more sweaty to jump ship. However it wouldn’t hurt for them to transfer once the gates open on that server.
Roughly 5000. No one knows the actual number but blizzard so that’s a best guess. Considering that with layers you even had queues during peak covid I would say that 9k/10k concurrent is probably realistic.
I don’t understand. 9000 is what I’ve been mentioning this whole time.
with layers.
When is peak covid to you? Ours has gone through another round of lockdowns in certain states and countries.
3 months ago.
Aye. Not for us. New Zealand and Victoria are reliving it currently.
Just by the way, Haseo that you’re responding to is also that Valina bloke that went and creeped on people on Arugal.
He’s got two accounts here, this is his second account.
After he was called out and exposed on his alt account (Valina) this is him on his alternative account trying to operate in our affairs again but under another alias.
Feel free to PM me on Discord for evidence of this, if you’re curious. (I have evidence of both accounts being used by the same player)
:thonk:
So we gotta pay up or shut up, do we? The shilling and white knighting going on in these forums is disgusting.
A community of thousands of players cannot be expected to have to foresight to transfer off entire guild rosters and their alts, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to avoid the possibility of queue times in the foreseeable future.
It has been Blizzard who has been mismanaging server populations from the beginning. They said it was safe to delayer and open up transfers. It wasn’t. It is their fault and it is their responsibility to fix it.
Big time sleuth.
Eh, whatever. Responding to his messages helps dispel the propaganda. Pathetic as he is. Thanks for the heads up.
