I don’t really see Alliance being overpopulated on Heartseeker as their fault. I look at myself as an example as no matter what option I used I would’ve been most likely screwed in one way or another. Here’s what happened to me:
As Classic gets announced, I gather my friends and talk about what faction we wanna play and PvP vs PvE. We decided on PVP, and wanted a high pop server because we felt like that could withstand attrition. Servers get announced, and we decided on Herod and reserve some names. Sure, it’s going to be really full, but it’ll last. Then, Blizzard sends out warnings that Herod is going to be massively full and to consider playing on a different server. They said to branch off and mentioned Stalagg and I believe Faerlina. So, my friends and I chose Stalagg. I found a guild to join ahead of time that fit our raiding criteria and everything.
Stalagg launches… I’m on the minute it goes live. I wait for SIX HOURS to log on, and the only reason it was six and not longer was because Eastern Kingdoms crashed. In the weeks following, me and my guild are forced to remote log on to our games and keep ourselves online to avoid the queues when we were out. When I did have to log in again, EVERY SINGLE SERVER SAID FULL. I have a screenshot of it. So even if I decided then to say screw it and move again, I’d be going from one full server to another full server and I’d have to find another guild again.
Fast forward a month. Leveling on Stalagg was near impossible once you got into contested zones. Horde had what seemed like an 8 to 1 advantage in numbers, and would camp you. I’m ok with the PvP, and I don’t get mad at it usually, but you seriously could not get to some places.
Sometime later, Blizzard opens up our transfers on Stalagg to help with the queues. My guild officer core, in their infinite wisdom, decided that enough people would transfer off that if we stayed we would be ok. The queues were a bit better…partly from transfers, partly from people getting too upset and going to a different server (like all my friends who couldn’t even log in), BUT the only ones that really transferred were Alliance. Now, it seemed Horde had a 20 to 1 advantage or more in the world. It was impossible to farm anything anywhere.
Another round of transfers pop up, and this time we go for it. AT THE TIME Heartseeker was slightly Alliance favored, with a medium to high population overall. When playing I would’ve guessed it was around 65% Alliance at first, but that is my speculation. As more and more people moved over, not just from Stalagg, but from other servers too, the Horde started to feel as I did on Stalagg. That’s something we couldn’t predict. It got to be so bad with Horde leaving that we’re where we are today…with no Horde. Nobody is going to willingly choose Heartseeker now on a PvP server with no Horde, so as people start to move on from Classic, we aren’t getting new people on the server or transfers. Heartseeker is slowly dying. Is that our fault? I don’t see that it is. I did what Blizzard asked, I moved when asked to, yet I’m the one here stuck debating to pay more money to move my characters to fix their problem, or hope they merge servers together which frankly, I don’t see happening. Not for a long time anyway.
I would like something to be done like allowing server transfers or faction transfers but I’m not hopeful. They really should take matters into their own hands and fix the issue instead of giving paid options and letting the players fix it themselves - with money. That leaves a very poor taste in our mouths of an already rapidly declining company. If you’re not going to merge servers then at least give population reports so that we can make the best decision for ourselves instead of trying to figure it out.
