Those happened even with rfd. It might of slowed the process a bit but people that do 5 mans the most are those that normally what to raid. As such they want to be where the raids are. As such they leave lower pop realms.
So long as raids are not x realm, x realm 5 mans don’t really change anything from a realm pop perspective. They only help larger realms find players for leveling content. If your realm is dead would be dead regardless of rdf existing or not.
I might be mistaken, but aren’t they offering free character transfers off Maladath? Take the free transfer to a more populated realm. There still won’t be RDF, but at least you’ll have an easier time finding people to do any sort of group content with. Wise up, Linathrial.
First off. Everyone knew Maladath was a dead server on its inception. We knew 1 fresh server would be more than perfect a few months into the game. But nope, they forced 2, and eventually a third. Shocking one died months ago, second is dying now, and the third is on its last legs. If only they had made just one fresh server… almost like it would be completely healthy and fine.
Second, yes its dead… Everyone took the free xfer and left to the better server. Why are you even bothering playing on it now lol. Take the free xfer and youll 10x the amount of people on your server.
If so many people are having trouble with making dungeon groups as you claim, surely you could just all group together easily without the help of RDF?
Or maybe the polls with a number of votes less than the people raiding in benediction are neither representative of the playerbase nor are they unbiased since people are ok with the game don’t seek validating opinions to their woes on the internet and are thus not even aware such polls exist.
