Massive Server Populations Breaking the Game Faerlina Alliance

You can always que up AV in IF. Go do that

I think everyone understands that. But what about the actual population? Unless there are queues to log in every day, the realm pop is less than the server cap.

#nochanges never meant “Vanilla is identical to Classic”. That’s fiction. #nochanges means Classic won’t change to improve.

More important, no-one ever said that YOUR PLAY on Classic will be the same as YOUR PLAY on Vanilla. That is a pure fantasy – an imaginary perfection that no-one on earth can supply to you. How would Blizzard even do that? Hire 23,000 people and pay them all to “act the way players acted in 2005”? Who is going to pay all these people?

Out of interest, I would really love to see a server get to 100% horde. I want to see what would happen to that realm and whether Blizzard would even have a response…

Where have you been for 6 months? I think this has been mentioned.

  1. It’s not that we don’t understand what’s happening to you. In fact we warned you about this quite some time ago, before phase 2 even started. It’s that we don’t care.

  2. No. Blizzard cannot and SHOULD not actively punish the majority faction with any kind of faction based queue system. For one thing it’s unfair to punish Horde because not enough people chose Alliance. For another, population numbers are so skewed Blizzard would be effectively preventing 30-40% of the playerbase from playing the game. If a Horde camps you, that’s what you signed up for by rolling on PVP. If BLIZZARD camps you, that’s a denial of service and breach of contract.

What happened to all the steamers on alliance and their followers? I thought rolling on the streamer server alliance would be a great idea…

if forum knoledwge works

when horde says is 50-50 is more likely to be 8/2 Horde fav
and when alliance says is balances is more likely 4/6 Horde fav

Wow Classic is not the principal project going on. Blizzard was kind enough to revive this, so people must stop complaining. Besides that, you have PvE server. Move on !

They were actually biased towards alliance 60 or 65% alliance, but alliance players don’t really help other alliance stranger near as often as horde players do when it comes to pvp. When you don’t work as a team losing can be a foregone conclusion. Then bad attitude spreads like the plague.

Blizzard - “We told you that these servers were overpopulated and offered free transfers for several weeks.”

Pretty sure the problem was the majority of the alliance players that rolled there only did so because of the streamer hype train and when that derailed…it went the same way asmons hair went…

A portion of his reason for quitting to play was unreasonable hounding from Horde players who didn’t get enough attention growing up. Didn’t help that he kicked the antmound with his “run the Horde off the server” speech, after the initial attacks at launch.

What do you mean not enough people rolling alliance? It’s not like everyone that could have played this game were given 3 choices (play alliance, play horde, or don’t play at all). You have to acknowledge that bias from retail behavior and that predominantly most people played alliance during vanilla, thus those people rolled Horde for a fresh experience for Classic. Not to mention that stun resist racial, and WotF are grossly OP for pvp. Arguably the only form of important and challenging content in Classic since beyond the first week clear of a raid there is no challenge in PvE. Meaning people raid to then take that gear into PvP. Thus if the PvE content is trivial and you want an advantage it would be nonsensical to not roll Horde.

That is exact situation for Classic. Everyone knew this was the best course of action for themselves and as a result the bandwagon effect took hold and then had more people playing Horde. Which then would result in longer queues for Horde with release of BGs. The exaction situation would play out in Alliance favor if the advantages/situation were reversed.

In short there is next to nothing intrinsic about the Horde that draws people to play it. Only raw power matters in the end.

This seems like a poor solution to suggest. Let’s say every ally takes you up on that, all the way up until the point where you have no ally left…what have you accomplished?

You were all tricked into playing on a PvP server, world pvp is crap its 90% being ganked by multiples or while in combat with mobs.

Literal E-Bullying

Why the post resurrection! The Horde own that server. I started there on day 1 before I re-rolled on Herod. Alliance hide in IF there and just raid log these days. Sometimes I’ll log on to see how it looks and it’s really dipped imo. Full of spammers anyways. You must have just gotten lucky.

Blizzard handing out a harsh lesson about overpopulation

These all sound like excuses for why people made their choice, but it’s irrelevant.

“Any explanation that can more succinctly express the situation rather than my nebulous reason that tries to pin irl character faults, must be an excuse.”

-You

No… it’s irrelevant.

Let me help you out because you’re struggling here.

It doesn’t matter WHY someone chose Horde, or Alliance.

All that matters is that choice, no matter the reason it was made, is not something Blizzard can or should PUNISH. Faction queues is a punishment for the higher pop and a breach of contract by Blizzard.
