I’d like to see the data for your reference point for “vast majority of the server want this” apart from the 12 sweat lords who acknowledge the term “buff zaddy”. No thanks! Server has evolved naturally and it can evolve back naturally no need for external intervention.
(Not that my opinion matters just dont like it when a few seem to think they speak for the rest of us)

I don’t remember if they’ve mentioned it in other blue posts, or in the latest blizzcon but they aren’t going to try and balance servers with forced transfers/mergers because it is mission impossible. They’ve given their reasons recently(the top being they can’t predict players movements nor want to kill off realms/players due to those actions when transfers are available) but the most they will do is -maybe- restrict transfers between/to certain realms or provide free transfers to certain realms but a merger isn’t going to happen.

if you want horde to come back to heartseeker or alliance to skeram, you’re gonna need to incite a reroll like other realms have seen or transfer off to a place where you’ll get what you want from the realm’s climate.

Hey look its the most miserable man on Heartseeker! welcome Gso!!

107

Honestly, they should do the same with Incendius and Stalagg for the same reasoning.

108

  1. Free transfers NEVER happened for any server during phase 2.

  2. You didn’t answer my question. If Blizzard offered free transfers to Whitemane for Skeram/Stalagg, what would happen, and who would be at fault?

109

yea this would be nice

With the world buff meta going away, this shouldn’t be a problem. +1

I’m pretty sure Whitemane had server xfers off of it during the times it had 6 hour ques.

I’m almost 100% sure there was xfers in phase 2 because I took a free xfers off as horde.

I was horde on Stalagg when classic launched.

I went to Heartseeker.

I rerolled on whitemane as alliance right as phase 3 was about to hit. Like a month before it.

Which of you check my logs you will see no phase 1 and 2 logs.

  1. There is a difference between free transfers to vs free transfers from. Whitemane was a relatively balanced server from the beginning. So there wasn’t much impetus to leave it except to escape queues, and that affected both factions equally. So transfers off would have been fairly equal. And very few people even took them when offered. The story for the most imbalanced server, Stalagg, was completely different. The vast majority of transfers were alliance trying to escape being gang-ganked in STV and Searing Gorge.
  2. Free transfers closed a couple weeks before Phase 2 began. And none were offered again until the pandemic.
  3. Since you never answered my question I’ll answer it for you. If Blizzard offered free transfers for Skeram/Stalagg to Whitemane, every single player would transfer to Whitemane. And that would create a massive population imbalance, and possibly queues. To alleviate these queues, let’s say that Blizzard offered free transfers off of Whitemane. And let’s pretend that the alliance, now seeing that they are vastly outnumbered because of all the Stalagg/Skeram transfers, decided to leave the server. Whitemane could go from the largest and most-balanced server, to a dead server in a matter of weeks(which is what happened to Incendius). But who would be to blame? Who would you be angry at if that happened?

The people left on those 2 servers wouldn’t be happy.

Of you want to leave your server you wait for free xfers or you pay like everyone else.

Why won’t you answer my question?

115

Your question was answered by blizzard.

All you would do is create more imbalance on the 2 servers people xfer off of to get to Whitemane.

Whitemane had 8 hour ques and people wouldn’t xfer off so blizzard opened up layering again on my server to fix it.

See how the people didn’t flee and create bad servers and the issue was still fixed?

116

Again, if Blizzard offered free transfers for Skeram to transfer to Whitemane, who would be to blame if Whitemane became badly imbalanced as a result? The people on Skeram for taking the free transfers? Or Blizzard for offering them?

I just find your insistence on blaming “the players” for everything, while exonerating Blizzard for decisions they made, rather odd and a bit obnoxious.

I fully support this as one of the gm’s on heartseeker. Like 60% of the folks I talk to here (including whole guilds) are talking about going to other servers. A merger would certainly help fix a problem that was made by blizzard themselves not properly preparing for the release of classic. Instead of forcing a player base to pay for a service to play the game they already payed to play, they should absolutely be looking in to fixing the broken and single faction dense servers. DO THE RIGHT THING.

TBH, I don’t think they would merge the two. This sort of thing never worked too well in retail, and lead to CRZ.

I like Heartseeker as it is. Hoping there’s no merge. Sorry server mates who disagree with me.

120

Please merge.

The people who want this are the same ones who x-ferred off Skeram in the first place.

They’re ready to face their fears
