If you ever offer paid faction transfers, I will quit and never play another Blizzard game again

Best thing to do is go back to retail. You can have all the server transfers you want. Pick up one of those nifty 4.99$ pets too while ur at it.

If you lose a player due to transer or quitting it’s the same…-1 player for faction/server. Why not let people enjoy the fruits of their labor after spending so much time leveling/gearing a character?

Sadly, they will probably go the money route rather than what’s practical.

Merge what? Theres only 1 alliance dominated PvP server. And you can’t merge high pop servers without putting players in 10k+ queues again without layering. If you added up all the PvP servers it’s probably at best 60/40 horde. Theres legit no way to balance all the servers unless you force migrations and faction changes.

What is practical? Just stating something is meaningless. Please give your reasons.

I already said… merge servers. No, won’t bring 100% perfect balance. But would be far better than letting everyone transfer.

They were offered because of how many people were playing, not because realms were dying. They were still adding new realms actively because of how full the earliest realms were. The biggest reason people asked for the ability to move back then was things like people who would find out their real life friends played but on another realm, making it impossible to play together as their mains.

This is why we need reasons. Because they can be broken down.

How can you merge servers when most are already overcrowded which is a big part of the problem and all but a couple are Horde dominated, some grossly so?

OP i agree with you wholeheartedly but a word of advice: Don’t post this kind of narcissistic crap. Doing so immediately invalidates your argument and makes the rest of us who agree with you look like the bad guys! Calling people whiners will not win anyone to your side. Having good forum edicate can go along way.

but they are whiners! Baby snorlax retail whiner babies. GO BACK TO RETAIL

There are quite a few smaller servers. There’s really only a few servers that are badly imbalanced and need help.

No. They were offered because realms were dying. That’s why it was high pop > low pop.

I actually played vanilla and I remember the TONS of forum threads about people begging for mergers. Stick around and someone will pop in to back me up… there aren’t many of us left though, mostly just ignorant retailers.

The stark difference between this forum and the /r/classicwow sub pre-classic wow and post-classic wow is crazy.

Before classic wow launched there was tons of people in the sub more likeminded to me and they all knew their stuff… Now that classic is out, all of you retailers have came over and inflated our discussions.

Just because there is more of you here disagreeing with me, doesn’t mean I’m wrong: It just makes you ignorant; unable to pick up what I’m putting down.

Imagine saying this from the WoW forums… Are you going to call him a nerd next?

I kind of agree OP, but I think how you put yourself in some aspect of complete self importance turns people off. If paid transfers do happen it means realm balance has been abandoned and that would definitely suck. I do have hope that my realm can turn around for the better and would prefer that through outside efforts on Blizzards part, but if were just shuffling around its going to be 1 massive Alliance server and 1 massive Horde server which would honestly be about the worst outcome.

And classic is vanilla 1.12 so late vanilla.

So paid transfers should happen and will happen.

Yeah, I probably shouldn’t have been as volatile as I was, you’re right. But to be fair it is just a projection of my bitterness to how retail was ruined and now the same people who ruined retail are trying to ruin my favorite childhood game I anticipated since the day it was announced.

These guys will be gone by the time shadowlands releases anyway, and when I come to play classic it will be screwed up by a bunch of people who didn’t play to stick around anyway and just wanted some temporary relief from p2.

im 100% more passionate about vanilla than you, and I want realm transfers. W8ing on the henhouse duel btw… where u at.

Why are you so obsessed with dueling some random on a forum? RVR is pointless you idiot. Also it doesn’t matter your gear is dogturd DM shoulders or not.

Also it’s 2019, if you’re so good at WoW haven’t those years of typing improved your brain function to allow you to type “you” instead of “u”? Come on man, this isn’t even live-text. You’re lazy and you type bad and you have bad gear and I’m going to leave it at that. I type better and I have better gear. I win. I bet I keybind way more intricately than you too since you want a epeen measuring contest.

1v1 me on typeracerdotcom dawg. omg dawg im still waiting for that typeracerdotcom duel

Yes and the smaller servers are the only ones where things are tolerable. I have a character on Earthfury which is medium pop and fairly balanced. Things are fine there. No desire to transfer.

I have an older toon on Kirtonos. That server is completely unplayable and this is where the problem lies. The big, overcrowded, super unbalanced servers. No way a merger will fix that. It would make it worse and at the same time destroy the smaller server which was actually working fine.

So I see your solution as invalid.

I think their is only like 3 or 4 servets that are like that and its because people were stupid enough to follow streamers.

lol? I have truestrikes in the bank. This is for PvP. Shows how much you know. . Come duel btw I am waiting. Also these are not wyrmtongue they are DM shoulders, get rekt u know nothing.
