If you can’t make a character that means you weren’t playing with the homies to begin with.

maybe reconnecting with people you didnt know were playing and the inability to play is awesome

Once the closure related to the pandemic ends, traffic will slow and I think you’ll see them unlocked. For now they had to do it to deal with the multi-hour queues some realms were experience. The inhabitants of those servers were demanding something be done, so they offered free transfers and locked the servers. What else could they do?

i mean isnt that what layers are for

One might think so…

I too dislike, and disagree with locking realms. It definitely is against my preference.

blizz layers kinda fixxed the Que how about you unlock and not limit your community

It also benefits parts of the community to keep you locked out.

I don’t know, I’m really not a tech person so I couldn’t tell you what they have the technological capability to do to deal with the problem. I’m just saying it seems like a reasonable step to take until traffic died down.

i mean no que why locked

Nope, I play Classic as well so I can be here all I want.

uwu

whatever u got to tell yourself buddy

I will agree that they seem to have locked more servers than necessary. Certainly the largest ones like Whitemane needed to be locked, but I’m not sure why they locked so many. I made a horde alt on grob just before they locked it and I’m really glad I did because RP-PvP is the only kind of server I want to play on.

idk, personally I was completely fine with the queues, and free transfers.

Blizz unlock the servers lets gooooooo

They are locked to control the population on these servers. If they keep letting players join then the temporary layers become not so temporary.

That sounds reasonable, but it’s not necessarily accurate. Servers were previously unlocked, and queue times had subsided.

We don’t know what the future holds. Locking servers could have long-term negative effects on their populations.

I see this all the time. My question is, why weren’t you and the homies on the same server to begin with? My friends and I were.

like i said sometimes you reconnect with people you didnt even know were playing
