We have one of the only raiding guilds on Pagle Horde. Recruiting is impossible. The AH is awful. The hold-outs that wanted to make it work or had faith the Blizzard would merge servers or something have finally given in to the idea of moving to a different server, Ashkandi. Unfortunately, free transfers have ended. We have 50 players, 100s of alts that want to play. We should not have to pay $25 per transfer on top of the subs we are already paying. We just want to play the game. We are going to probably take 20% plus of the Horde population off the server. Other friendly guilds may follow too. Please open free transfers off Pagle Horde again. There is no Horde side there. Some of our guildies will quit, be left behind, and our guild will be disrupted in general if everyone has to pay, all because our server faction died.
Cancel sub for 60 days-put bots as a reason just for fun, use the saved money to Faction change. Hundreds of guilds are recruiting on your Alliance server.
Not a bad idea for the people who dont have the funds.
we could merge pagle with ashkandi I did suggest that during tbc era in my earlier post for the deets.
?
Horde has been less than a few hundred for over a year, why protest now?
Pagle is for Alliance, Mankrik is for Horde.
Oddly not even a PvE server aims for balance.
And I do get where you’re coming from, I had spent years miserable waiting on Blizz to save my dying servers. They never did. They’re not coming, they don’t care.
Paying to transfer is the only viable option for those who care enough, and they know it.
Heh… I haven’t seen a horde in the wild on pagle for many a month.
This is a very good question and I doubt we’ll get an honest answer besides people being stubborn.
They don’t care. They let the same thing happen to Mankrik Alliance.
Why wouldn’t you take the free transfers that were offered before?
Pagle Horde has been pretty dead since well into TBC, and has been leaning heavy Alliance since the first year of Classic. I really don’t like to be that guy, but if you’ve stuck around this long, AND let the free transfers go past, you’ve go nobody to blame but yourselves.
- You say “we” and “pagle” but are a guildless level 12 from a totally different realm.
- That has been an alliance realm since launch. You’ve had all of classic, crusade, and now in wrath, to move.
My friend invited me here. I have complained the whole time. You’ll notice I refered to the holdouts in my post. Now everyone understands since we are raiding 25s.
I only thought the only horde on pagle were alliance alts. Rarely do i see a hordie in the wild i was going to transfer my horde characters but never thought it worth it because i would be alone.
Pagle Horde has been dead for a really long time rofl
who cares. u not so smart always complain about the dumbest stuff randomly. dont play on pagle horde its player choice where to play the company cant control it. stop crying
I have a toon in “Horde Jail” on Pagle at the moment. A 4300ish GS tank that I wanted to change races on, so I have to wait 30 days because reasons.
I log the toon in once in a while and ride around Dal and it struck me that Bliz could work to alleviate the issue if they actually wanted to. It’s not like it would take a ton. Additional gold or XP for toons created on the under-balanced side for starters. Maybe an XP bonus and then a sack of gear or gems or something when you hit 80.
That’s just a 5 second spitball.
There’s millions of things Blizzard could be doing to try and keep this community healthy, and both sides populated, but they don’t seem to be interested. Which is stupid because for a HUGE portion of the Lich King classic population: This is it. There’s no desire to go to Cata, and there’s zero desire to play retail. I don’t think it would help to (yet again) convey to Blizzard how akin to defication-housed-between-two-slices-of-bread retail is because they don’t really care.
All that said, I’m doing my part to try and make the Alliance side of Pagle the best it can be, since this is my last chance to play the version of the game I love. Running lowbies through dungeons, teaching nooblers to play, putting an SNR farm team together for some rando.
Heck. Some guy had the CoS N healy trinket ninja’d by a mage and was like, “What is this even?!?!” in trade. A few of us rallied and farmed one up for him. It’s not like CoS N is even remotely difficult and it made his day.
All of that to say, I really wish Blizzard would do something to try and get some toons going Horde side. It can only help the health of the game.
yeah just faction change. There’s opportunity all over the place on Pagle. Also, never wait on things like free transfers lol… They were never merging servers, everyone knew that.
One of the worst servers if ever. Sad horde populace and bad AH. You are better off moving to high pop horde server than Ashkandi.
I would have in a second. I hated transferring here in the first place, but my friend invited me and the guild was not on the same page as me. Now they are.
On PvE servers, there’s really no reason to have the other faction there. I mean, theoretically one of the benefits of PvE is that you can flag if you want to, but who actually does that? Blizzard isn’t working on a solution to the problem because the vast majority of players don’t see it as a problem (again, specifically for PvE servers). IMO, if you’ve decided to hold out on Pagle Horde, or Mankrik Alliance, for this long, you’re just kind of being needlessly stubborn IMO.
Boo hoo, I’m entitled blah blah blah, give me give me give me…
