I would like to play cataclysm but the pvp server i’m on is dead and would like to play on a balanced realm. SOD servers have already been consolidated so why not do it for Cataclysm? Anniversary era is fun as hell right now because there is only one US pvp realm and its balanced. Cataclysm needs this kind of server management.

A mega server is long over due. At this point there should only be 1 server.

This would be a great idea; however, Blizzard will not implement it because players who knowingly chose a PvP server (specifically due to the faction imbalance) treat the server as a PvE server and assume that world PvP is nonexistent. This issue affects both servers. I would love to see Bene and Faerlina merged, but the chaos and complaints that would follow are why Blizzard won’t do it. They are too worried about the casual players who chose to roll on a PvP server instead of a PvE server. However, Blizzard does not believe in holding people accountable for their actions unless it suits them.
They cant do just 1 server the best solution would be 2 mega servers and 1 RP server
-
List item Merge all the PvP servers together to make a mega server. (allow the players who dont -want to play on a PvP server free xfers to the PvE server)

Merge all RP servers together (think there is only one) if that’s the case leave it alone.

These xfers should be limited to a week tho because if you really want to leave you’ll do it right away not wait weeks.
Merging realms sure. Merging Faerlina and Benediction specifically not unless War Mode is put in or the combined realm is changed to PvE.
Both realms have effectively been PvE realms for two expansions now with current, returning, and new players treating them as such.
Acting like they aren’t and burying your head in the sand going “Lalalalala they are PvP” in some attempt to get a PvP realm the players have already opted out of is dumb and short sighted.
Not only would you not get what you want. What you would be doing is driving players away, and those that aren’t driven away will just resegregate themselves.
That isn’t even going into the issues of losing guild names, losing guild banks, losing character names, etc.
Ultimately the only thing this would do is increase blizzard’s pocket books.
Eh, that isn’t how players function. They don’t want to give up there names or need to remake guild banks. They will first wait to see who wins the faction war between the two thrust together sides. Then they will leave only if they lose.
PvP servers come with a warning that every player acknowledges when they join. Warmode is not a viable solution, and converting them into PvE servers would upset many players. Providing the player base with three options is the best solution.
Lol no i go out and gank alliance every time i see them.
Then they will pay to transfer the players who do not want PvP can leave. If they choose to stay and later decide they do not want PvP and want to leave, then they swipe their card and pay. Those who truly want a PvE experience will leave immediately.
