Limited PvP -> PvE Free Character Transfers

i’m genuinely shocked they still haven’t said anything.

It must be pure chaos over there because of how bad the Cata launch is going

They wonder why people started hating them.

Here I thought they would change their approach with Microsoft coming into the picture, but it’s right back to the same behavior.

Not even a ‘bear with us, we’re trying to explore options’. Just silence.

The only response we will get is “we’re going to let the servers settle and reevaluate next week” like last week :sob:

Pretty much same. It’s pretty frustrating that we can’t even get an update

Only thing I can think of is Cata launch is in such dire shape that SoD has been put on the back burner. And while I’m not playing Cata, it seems the bugs are overwhelming and I think it might be weeks before we hear anything.

Yeah the last update was from the weekend that said this week would be updates once they saw the metrics from over the weekend.

Metrics are hard. You look at numbers and make a decision.

maybe they’re skimping on metrics and they’re using abacus … i mean they did just fire a bunch of people and big surprise they’re stretched thin … the math might take a minute

I see a drastic difference in Alliance population on Living Flame US. Hardly any groups in LFG. Peak times have 2 layers max. Horde has every relevant spot camped. Its gotten ridiculous after these free transfers.

Lone wolf Alliance definitely had a noticeable drop

Same with horde, almost 1/4 of the groups for any content left during peak hours

Hard to say if it’s all transfers. Lvling in incursions is about as painful as it gets, and nobody wants to grind rep and wild offerings and tradeskills and world buffs and consumes on their main much less on an alt. Raids going from 2-3 times a week to once a week only makes the problem worse.

Open transfers back up I want to play with my friends again.

I refuse to do anything with my lock on LW other than the BFA daily. I’m sitting at 40 and have tried doing incursions 5 or so times now so I can at least get friendly for the rune and I am camped almost immediately every time and I gotta wait on rezz timers. When I found out last weekend that they were doing FCM, I started logging in to do BFA to finish exalted grind since I’m only a few days away and I’ve attempted incursions in hopes I can level a bit and get the rune before I transfer but I’m done trying incursions on LW and if they end up not allowing anymore FCM’s, I might be done with SoD.

They closed the server I liked (Chaos Bolt) and I transferred my CB chars to CS because most of my guildies did but I hated it and and transferred to Lava Lash. Community seems a lot more like CB but it’s a dying server just like CB. Wish they would have given me the option to transfer to WG.

Anyway, so now I have toons on a dying server and a server I can’t stand, so there’s less and less incentive to stick around.

Ive been refreshing every 30 minutes for nearly a week. Fwoibles where is the decision? I know cata prepatch has issues but many of us are… frustrated to say the least with how this has been handled.

This is the equivalent to dad going out to get a pack of smokes and never coming back.

No update and no dad. Great… what am I going to do now?

All I see is Cata this and that for updates. No offense but I’m pretty sure SoD has a much bigger player base and you guys are just defecating all over it with this ingenious move. The simple fact that you’re cool with splitting up guilds for dumb faction balance, is insanity. It isn’t just solo players having an annoying time on the PvP server it’s just everyone who isn’t a griefing PoS having a terrible time. Hindsight 20/20 you should have never allowed PvP servers and just opted for Warmode which has been much more successful.

Any updates on if living flame NA will have transfers available again to Wild Growth?

Several people missed the very short windows to transfer and are stuck.
