Merge servers?

Community General Discussion

With the current player count dropping and zones being more empty would anyone else be for or against merging all rp servers into one and all normal servers into one? I understand there is a few problems with this idea just wanting to start a discussion

Not with how bad servers are with a lot of people in one area. It’d have a meltdown. They’ve already connected a lot of servers. I think that’s about as far as it should go.

I would not mind. But personally I appreciate the higher stability that I get on Velen as opposed to the disconnections that people can get on higher population servers, even while they are playing or the server isn’t off for maintenance.

Definitely need to connect more realms. Perhaps four RP servers is enough.

The full realms are just that, at peak times.

All low pop need to be connected to a high pop and then connect some medium sized realms. They should all be high pop and near the full status.

Apparently some players really do want to be alone for the farming etc. But i would maybe leave just one low pop in each data center and give free transfers out just to see how popular these low pop realms are. I would guess, not so much.

They’ve already pretty much “merged” the RP servers into two.

That aside, it may be worth looking at connected realms and “dead realms”. Link them to bigger servers into one, and stop creation of new characters on the the smaller one. Ease them out until you have the one server with a healthy population.

Only seen this accomplished once, and that was a much smaller game. Not sure how it would work with how Blizzard has set up their connected realm groups.

merge turalyon first before any of them. we aren’t connnected with anything. except for cross realms.

Reminder that there is currently 75+ Low pop servers.

Edit: Could you imagine playing on a low pop server? How many do you think are realistically on a low pop server? 300? Maybe? 300 people, now divide those 300 into groups who do nothing but PvP, the outdoor world only players, the raiders (if the server has the numbers to allow that), etc. That’s such a small pool of players to try and do anything. Imagine trying to get a Mythic raid guild together.

I would be against.

  1. We have Connected Realms, mergers ruin things for everyone.
  2. They can’t get lag straight on anything.
  3. This is not a dead game with only 1000ish players.

Now… if we want to talk about Connecting low pop RP realms together and low pop Normal realms together, while leaving along the high pop ones… then sure.

Add last names to characters.

Then they merge as many servers as they want.
