It is sad, you would rather keep the 2 realms separated and force people to have to act as Anchors between the two for RP rather than just letting them be linked all so you can sit alone in a forest.
Honestly in the last year or so WrA has been getting better about server projects Alliance side, it would be interesting to see where it could grow from here using them!

This is true, which is why I think Linking them would be the best course, they would maintain their independence while removing a very big barrier as well.
Damnfool Krug. I knew they was none to bright; but today I seen everything. They torched this here bridge, and then set to drivin’ a wagon caravan across’t while it was still a burnin’!

I wish they’d come back.
They could… 
There are mixed opinions about it for sure depending on what faction you were on LOL
I love seeing new people in Duskwood, if I didn’t I wouldn’t have worked as hard as I did to grow it as an rp hub. I am against artificially forcing together two rp communities. Those are two very different discussions, and it’s a discussion I do not want to have with you after the well has been poisoned as badly as it has been in this thread. Perhaps another time, another place. But not today.

I think I would actually be in favor of a complete merger of the two servers. Name conflicts would be an issue, but the rest… C’est magnifique! *Chef’s kiss. *
IDK. I kinda feel like RP, walkup in particular has always been about consent. If someone wants to initiate guard RP on me I can just ignore them. It took a while to get to this point where I give zero forks, god knows I used to get pretty miffed about PvP guilds showing up to crash RP. Maybe though, maybe an influx of bodies would make the world seem more alive.
There is an active Horde community on WRA that would love to be linked more closely to the Horde community on MG.
Not every WrA alliance is going to rush to Goldshire when linked to MG, infact I would suspect a small % MIGHT, but WrA alliance typically choose not to go to MG because they don’t WANT that kind of RP association. Yet there is more to MG alliance RP than goldshire by leaps and bounds, and THAT is where WRA and MG being linked flourishes.
I’ve gone back and forth on how I feel about this idea over time, but I think that nowadays I wouldn’t really care. To be absolutely clear, there are positive and negative aspects of merging WrA and MG. What would be good for some would be bad for others and vice versa.
Despite how ridiculous some may believe it to be, there ARE different cultures between the two servers. At the same time, there is a LOT that’s exactly the same, down to the actual players who roll on both.
MG-A probably wouldn’t bat an eye just like like WrA-H wouldn’t either. The larger populations wouldn’t really be affected very much as their smaller counterparts suddenly sprang into existence in their shared spaces. But it WOULD be quite the jarring experience (good or bad) for the smaller communities that suddenly found themselves inundated with more players on their faction. This also raises the discussion that has been touched on already in cursory fashion regarding those who prefer a smaller community, actively dislike the sheer size of the other server, but who also claim to want and have put effort toward growing the community of their own server. How do those ideas coexist, and where exactly is the line on how large is too large in terms of population? Or what other criteria exist for people in that camp when determining what their scene should look like and how/if it should grow? Who knows, but it’s an interesting thing to think about in terms of server merges and on its own merit.
There would be more walk-up, no doubt about that. I’m sure there would be some popcorn-worthy moments when and if server canon/projects collided with each other. Others would continue to stick to their familiar circles and guilds. Server queues might become a bit of an issue during things like new expansion launches or other events that draw more people than usual to log in all at once.
But I dunno. At the end of the day, the servers are kinda just different angles for viewing the same RP community. I believe it’s 100% on that community and the way people interact as a part of human nature and mob mentality that the factions are distributed the way they are across servers. I’m pretty sure there’s no server merge anywhere in sight in the near future either. So by the time we have to really start considering all these ramifications and outcomes, the populations on both servers will probably be so small that most of it will be irrelevant anyway.
