It’s ok. We can be close buddies now!
ETA: I’m glad they took a second look at this. It’d make more sense to connect us with another smaller realm.

It’s a shame, so few alliance players remain on hyjal it would have been nice to merge and have it as an experiment overall as to what a more balanced faction ratio would look like.
On the bright side we get to keep our dead silent trade chat and leg room.
They could always link us down the line to a server that would balance things out. This connection would have just had it go from Horde dominated to Alliance.

I am looking for the proudmoore-hyjal forums but I can not find them in the “All Realm” list.
It’s because they called it off.
It’s also there if you scroll up 5 posts above yours.
I’ve been on Proudmoore for a while now, and I’ve enjoyed my time there. That said, the reason my H side characters are on different places was because of population. I am hopeful the community stays as it is and this move balances the factions a little more.
I’m baffled why this connection wasn’t made. Majority Alliance realm, majority Horde realm. The hell’s the problem here?
Was it solely just Proudmoore hand wringing?

I’m baffled why a player on Uldum even cares at all?
I wouldn’t have personally had a problem, but some people did. For me, it would have made playing on Horde side Proudmoore a little more attractive, but that’s about it. For others, I think the idea of forcing a group of mostly Horde players to play on the unofficial LGBT server seemed like a bad idea.

Im on proudmore. I was looking forward to the link, as it would allow me however many more toons on my “server”.

The removed the cap on toons per server, so you can have all 50 of your charcters on one server if you want.

oh wow. Haha ok. I did not know that.
Merging opposite-faction realms creates unnecessary lag and queue times and benefits almost nobody.
Fifteen years ago, when PvP was restricted to your current server, sure, balanced servers made sense. But these days, they’re only a detriment. To everyone.
Who would actually benefit from merging these realms? The ten Alliance players on Hyjal and the 50 Horde on Proudmoore? And we’re going to inconvenience tens of thousands of others, just for that? No thanks.

Lag and it’d turn Hyjal from majority Horde to majority Alliance. It solves nothing.

There’s nothing intrinsically non-LGBT about the Horde.
I myself am Asexual and my bf is bi. We don’t experience any problems on Hyjal.
It wasn’t the biggest concern.

My main (this one) and most of my alts are on Dragonblight / Fenris.
I picked the server back WAY before I heard about the websites that track faction balances. Didn’t know it was an Alliance heavy server(s).
Now it’s too expensive to transfer, and my wife is on there, too, with all her alts (H & A).
The idea of willingly keeping your server half dead for a bunch of “what ifs” is just wild.
Solves nothing lol. Yes I’m sure the Alliance players on Hyjal and Horde population on Proudmoore are thrilled to be stuck on the dead half of their respective servers. 15 dollars pls, problem solved right?

During Wrath, I had a friend convince me to move to Windrunner, which had a Horde population of (as far as I could tell) one.
During prime time, with me, my buddy, and another friend of ours, a /who revealed there were only 4 Horde players on the server, so we couldn’t even do a dungeon. (This was before LFD.)
Within a week we moved again, this time to Silvermoon.
If you’re on a bad server, you just gotta get off. Waiting around for years for somebody to come save you is silly.
