We continue to closely monitor player populations and realm performance, and we expect to move the remaining layered realms to their final state soon.
Free Character Moves continue to be available from many of the highest-populated realms, and as before, we suggest that anyone considering using that service do so as soon as possible.
Could you guys maybe, just maybe, give us a little bit of a heads up next time to… you know so people don’t get stuck in an hour long queue and miss their raids? It honestly feels like you guys are spiting in our faces for supporting your game for over 15 years.
That might be the case but many people have suggested better ways to address this issue, including my own here.
Blizzard make a space on the forums for players to connect with their old guilds and friends.
Blizzard invited everyone to reserve names on the server they wanted to play on.
Blizzard added layering to deal with overcrowding.
I just don’t see why Its now left up to players to fix the problem by ditching their friends, Guilds and Names just to play without waiting in an hour long queue.
edit: I mean this is the nicest way possible, I’m just a little intense when I want to get my point across.
Regardless, why does everything have to be a conspiracy with you people? Were you even here in the first month when queue times were half a night long? Great strides have been taken to reduce and remove this, yet when the biggest issue people had prior and post launch (layering) is finally being removed, something new is found to be crapped on.
Seriously. Give it a rest. This is ridiculous.
“Hurr durr players responsibility to fix the problem” you can’t be serious! I refuse to believe that you are serious. Even though I know you probably are… it’s just like… are you actually serious??
@Kaivax do you have any comments on the impact that free server transfers have on realms where the faction imbalance is significantly impacting the future of the server? Stalagg currently has one of smallest alliance populations and the free transfers off the server have made it even worse. Are there any plans for the future to help remedy the unintentional consequence of allowing the alliance players who didn’t like the imbalance to leave, furthering the issue on stalagg?
