Layering - Good or Bad?

[Zenetta-proudmoore (Zenetta)]

Layering is basically like the suggestion I made in this thread for a megaserver:

WAHH SHARDING, your say, your way, go

I don’t think it would be a bad idea to have a small number of normal servers that have starting zone sharding only or no sharding at all and let the server purists wait in queues and figure that out and then have say one megaserver for each server type that would have sharding everywhere, but do it differently than retail. I imagine there would at least be thousands of people that want to play classic but aren’t that uptight about sharding that would happily play on a megaserver that never has …

except that it’s random, not transparent and doesn’t give you the control I suggested.
