Nobody? Really? Because Blizzard did announce that a “Medium” populated realm would have more people than what would have been a “Full” realm.
And…I played on launch day. Anyone who didn’t realize hey, this is way more people than was ever there before two minutes after logging in wasn’t paying any attention at all.
So no, everyone knew at launch that realms would be allowed to have five times original-Classic’s population levels.
The horde are doing what they are suppose to do, grieve the alliance. That’s the story you added your character to when you joined a pvp server.
PvP contents is paramount. The Alliance had just as much time to level to 60 and get gear as the horde did. Now it is time for war. Even on an imbalanced server the fights can still be even. The Horde are all over the place and spread thin, the alliance need only to start skirmishes in places that are a long ride for the horde. Menethil harbor comes to mind.
If Alliance are brain dead set on getting into a dungeon or raid as the horde sit enmass ready to slaughter them, instead bring a fight then they deserve to be honor farmed.
Your sincerity warms these old bones.
I don’t think you grasp that “logic” is simply a process of evaluation. You can use flawless logic, and still be wrong, if you start from the wrong or flawed foundations.
Imagine the arrogance involved in starting this thread. I esp like that ending where anyone who has a different opinion is just wrong/unreasonable in advance. lul
I know you are, but what am I?
What about server cap you dont understand. Seriously ?!
Players cap/Overpopulation is more important than you think.
Its not the same thing as having 10 horde players roaming over all 50+ zones compared to 100 + horde players roaming over the same zones as we have now.
How better should I explain something this simple ?
I don’t believe Blizzard ever released any official information about faction balance on Classic PvP servers.
Rerolling on a different realm and starting over from scratch wastes all the days you put into your current toons.
Only if you delete those characters. Otherwise, the time is still spent, and the character will be waiting for you when BGs come out. And, in the meantime, you have a shiny new alt on another server that you can play with when getting camped makes your butt hurt too much.
If you can’t play them, they might as well be deleted.
I guess we’ll see when BGs come out, but Blizzard might have inadvertently caused a lot of players to break their WoW Classic routine. They might not be rushing back to play BGs.
If they might as well be deleted when you can’t play them, then you have already wasted the time /played, so you might as well reroll. 
Players don’t enjoy being forced to redo work they’ve already done.
Just to end up in the same place they were already at.
Then they should try something different? If you were a Human Priest, try rolling a Forsaken Priest instead. Or go from Druid to Warrior. Or play an Affliction warlock instead of Demonology.
This is so wrong is laughable.
MC is easily on farm by pugs. PUGS! Every MC pug I’ve been in has been 10 guild members hosting it and the rest pugs. 90% of the time you don’t need pre-bis to get into MC. I still had thrash blade as my best weapon and got into MC.
MC needs players and for those players to follow mechanics. Plain and simple.
Stop spreading misinformation.
Let it be pointed out that these conclusions in particular have outright assumed that the subjects SOUGHT said information. There are folks who didn’t, admittedly myself included. I would suggest that due to this inherent assumption a margin of error exists in these conclusions, and that there exist outliers. Not everyone knew to look for that information; many players didn’t theorycraft their server choice as hard as some and thus hold less (not zero) accountability for their own experience due to ignorance.
It’s a game. No one’s paying you to play it. If you think of it as work, it’s a mistake to be playing at all; whatever you may have heard (or be assuming from Modern) about the Realm Game starting when you can raid, it’s not the case. If the first 59 levels weren’t fun for you, neither will the 60th be.
Right, because no one goes to any dungeon that doesn’t offer “bis.” It makes sense as long as you’re too locked into “everyone is competing to rush to 60 and clear the highest raids and stop playing!” to ever glance inside the actual game.
Yet they still played the game. Also being 60 and raiding is not the whole game.
Leveling is half the game. No. Level 20’s can’t do Dire Maul. Gotta get to 55. Find some friends and then they can run it.
No one will ever level alts right? No guildies will help their guildy get these dungeon runs done?
See. Here’s the real problem. People just don’t want to put in the effort.
We’re not even in the last content patch and you guys are trying to portray this as all content released and everyone has played themselves out. This may be the case 6 months after Naxx but we’re far from that right now.
Not on my server. I see as much spam for WC and SFK as I do Dire Maul. Whole lot of people leveling alts and rerolling.
It’s a fact that raiding is not the only thing to do either. In fact some never raid. Yet they find things to do in game.
Also. This is not 2004. There are no where near as many true newbs as their was back then. Most who play classic have some kind of wow experience now.
It’s not even close to the same as a fresh start newb.
Well yea because getting 40 people together at the same time is like herding cats.
I had a harder time getting a princess run going yesterday than i have on any of my lowbies trying to do those dungeons.
Lol. Oh im aware. I’m aware that I can’t stand people crying instead of taking matters into their own hands. Especially when there are very obvious ways to handle their issue.
PvE server fixes every single one of these complaints.
Type classic wow into a search engine. You don’t need to spend hours researching. 10 mins would get you most if not all the info you needed. You can do that sitting on the porcelain throne. Lol.
There’s that effort thing again.
Really? I’ve played mmo’s for the better part of 20 years. The only way to get accurate info on them is to research and read.
Now we even have videos for the no kid left behind generation. Don’t want them hurting themselves reading…
It may have been like that back in '97 (before wow) but wowhead has it pretty much dialed in nowadays. So does mmochampion and so many other sites. Literally takes minutes to find what you need.
Well if you don’t want to do the legwork yourself. Ask barrens chat. They have helpful info like alt-f4, download more ram, and delete windows. Lol.
Yea. I’ll stick to doing it myself. These are choices. Choices are good for mmos. Live by those choices.
Being really nitpicky here…
Do you know people also call it a level grind?
Yeah, because everyone wants to keep redoing the grind to level 60.
It’s shocking players aren’t more overjoyed that they get to start all over again on a different realm.
Right, but objectively there was and still is no way to obtain accurate data on faction distribution when choosing a server, so the claim that OP made is wrong. People have to go in blind or trust the anecdotal of someone else on a server.
Yep, and I have the same response to them. If it’s work you’re doing to get to something else, you should seriously reevaluate whether the “something else” is going to be more of the same.
That’s not to say that I don’t sympathize with, e.g., “I hate levels 20 to 30, those zones and dungeons and quests aren’t the ones I enjoy”; every game I’ve ever played has some parts you just get through to get to more of the fun parts that make up the bulk of the game. But if only 1/60 of the game is fun for you…you should quit. (And don’t bother with the line about how being maximum level is rilly-rilly objectively the only important part of the game; I’ve heard it from many people posting on Modern avatars, and it’s never been worth more than an eyeroll.)
