They have free realm transfer now… its called reroll on Stall. If you can’t get your name now, you wont get it after a realm transfer either.

Don’t care much for character names tbh. I can reroll any time I want.
Go log in and check the server status. Even Pagle is full now. It’s not just Herod, we have 4 full servers now. Blizzard messed up by not giving enough PvP servers. I’m sticking on Herod because I picked it before this mess and all the other severs are gonna end up full anyways.

probably because you had Id**ts crying this is going to be the streamer server and thats toxic and this is going to be over run with people speaking latin or portuguese (which is shaping up to be 1% or so of the total pop). So herod will be the only true classic server worth playing! Away the sheep ran
- EST
- PvP
- Coolest sounding name at the time for a PvP EST server.
- Streamers decided to go elsewhere.

I’m rolling Herod. I heard the best play there so I guess I’ll just have to take my chances with imbalances and queues and such.

Its going to be a game of chicken. Who can live with multi-hour queues the longest?

The biggest downside for me as somebody who has corralled people into a semi-cohesive guild environment over the last few weeks is the social implications of seeming like you’re flip-flopping or jerking people around.
I think I am going to stick with it to the end. All the server communities are going to suck for different reasons. I’ve seen the Herod discord server and I don’t like it, but I suppose I’d rather be with regular weirdos than the weird cult of personality and streamer culture people who are going to be on Faerlina.
Sometimes you just have to commit to a move you’ve made even if it’s going to suck in the short term.
I have full belief that the tourists are going to drop out sooner rather than later and the servers will normalize to decent wait times.

Your guild will die sorry. Your members will not wait 6 hours to play.
Why is Herod toxic? I don’t really even know anyone on there yet. Do you?
There’s a large discord community of about 4-6k people collectively representing the server. It’s not a really productive or great place to hang out.
True. I’ve seen it. It’s a largely unhelpful place. But…they don’t even represent half of the server. They constitute less than a third of it, apparently. In addition, a huge chunk of the members on that discord never post there (waves hand in the back).
We rolled Herod during the first 5 seconds of day one. Everyone in my group was there. Almost all of us got our names. They don’t want to move and I don’t blame them. I have names I’ve tried to get for 15 years. If Stalagg had been open that day, we might have gone with that since it was the name of the stress test server, which pretty much all of us played on for UI/add-on setup.
It’s too late. We’re Herod and we’re staying.
If the queues are too horrendous to work around, we’ll roll temp toons on a lower pop server for the first week to streamline our plans and scratch the itch until we can get on our own server and play.
I have my names. We were there “first,” and we’re not going.

By that logic everybody’s guild will die. Stalagg is the only PVP server that isn’t high or full.
Go login to the server selection screen and see for yourself.
Only Herod (and Shaz EU) are over populated (Blizzards words). There is a limit to the number of layers they will spawn per server. Just make sure you are ok with waiting long to play for a long time. Blizzard has given you 10 days notice.
Why are there more EST servers than PST servers? California is in the West Coast FFS… as well as Blizzard HQ. They really overestimate the amount of people playing in New York and Boston?
1 week queues, that’s cute. Enjoy your queues up to phase 3 on Herod.

That is a distinct possibility and we’re discussing it. If and when that manifests, we’ll consider it, but we’re not moving prior to launch. We’re just not. I tried and failed to convince anyone. We’re all fully aware.
But we planned for name reservation since MAY. Collectively, we were excited about it and were planning for it since it was announced that name reservation would be a thing.
We made a huge social event out of name day.
Nobody wants to give up the names we took off of work or scheduled around…to get. If they REALLY wanted us to move servers, they’d open one and offer transfers with names instead of just throwing up a new server and making it a free for all.
THAT…would work.
I’m so glad I chose to ride out this ****storm on Faerlina. I’ll take streamer swarms and endgame community events over 10k server queues.

I keep reading tons of complaints about Herod’s impending doom as a server due to high population. How about taking one for the team and take the transfer option?
(Don’t worry, I have nothing on there so you do not have to be concerned
