I still think they need to wait a week or two before enabling this. That’s because I still expect a big drop off of players within a month.
(I LOVE THIS GAME and will never stop playing, but I feel for many it won’t be what they were expecting)
I don’t have to. It’s not my problem. It’s their problem. If they don’t want to move, then they can sit there in queue.
“And for those of us with >10 characters? Are we supposed to throw our investment away?”
You already leveled up 10 characters? I find that hard to believe.
I believe they were talking about character level being greater than 10, not quantity.
The realms have been open for less than a day. You can get the level right back. Makes a lot more sense than fighting the queue every day and hoping for transfers that might not come until 6 months later.

I’ll be honest, it actually is the case with me and my friends
moving one person on the fly is easy. coordinating guilds of 20, 50, 100 people? not so simple.

Exactly. At least convincing people to transfer is easier than getting an entire guild to commit to a mass reroll.
Retail had free character transfers at 60 for overpopulated realms at some points during its history. Our entire guild transferred for free to alleviate the population of Kiljaden and move to Korgath.

Many people here are saying “you’re only lvl 10, reroll on a new low pop server”.
This isn’t the solution because people are already doing this in droves and flooding those new servers. I bet the majority of the newly opened “low” pop servers today will be “high” pop tomorrow.
If I knew for a fact rerolling on a low pop server would solve queues - I’d do it. I hate losing the 8ish hours I spent last night, but I would still do it. The problem is there’s no guarantee the same problem wouldn’t happen with these new servers on their second or third day (especially by the holiday weekend).
I know this is a huge technical problem for Blizzard to solve, but its a shame there’s been no official response yet. It’s been 24 hours now. Any information would be good right now whether it be “be patient for a week to balance out”, “many more servers are coming”, “transfers are coming”, or literally anything.
No one can make an informed decision without any information.

It’s literally the second day…
Hold your horses.
Could not agree more with OP, I started a thread hinting at this. You can’t wait for Launch day and take on the “Oh $%^$ we $%#$ed up let’s just Open up new servers and that solves everything approach.” Specially for a classic reboot. MOST, not all, but most coming back to WoW classic are doing so with a pre-determined group of friends/guilds. To organize full group shuffles to new servers is simply not going to happen. Some would of got right in, some stuck in Queues, DC’s etc. So they are staggered and not wanting to screw their GROUP dynamic up.

As previously mentioned in this thread: they literally said they would do it if there was a problem… There is a problem. xD
But how long will they make us wait =)
as much as I disagree with the idea, I think at this point even after adding more realms I think this is going to be the only way they are going to fix the server balance issues
Yeah, a massive free transfer for you and all of your level 8 friends. Rather than restarting and regaining the few hours you invested
Except server over/under population problems have been fixed with free transfers in the past. Easy solution to the %#!@storm launch created. There’s still not enough servers!
It’s the only sensible solution. Bliz underestimated launch populations badly. They may as well implement free transfers to lower pop servers now. They still need at least 2-3 more servers to handle the insane ques on top of transfers.
BUMP!
Keep this at the top! Lets get those server transfers to help bring loads down!
