That’s a good question! I don’t know… but, I’m playing on a Fresh Server now, and if it does end up dying I think having had the experience of leveling with people I run into again and again and all those community building interactions will be worth a $25 transfer fee, should that be the case.
If it doesn’t end up dying before ICC then all the better.
Personally, I’m not really against Dungeon Finder, or even cross realm/faction grouping for instanced content like Retail has for that matter, but I can definitely see how it affects social interactions.
Grouping with the same people multiple times over different content during several days creates shared social experiences that are not only less likely to happen with Dungeon Finder, but are much more difficult to turn into longer term shared social experiences through friend’s lists, guilds, and purposeful invites.
