New Realms Coming for WoW Classic

Why no PVE realms? They are all HIGH/FULL.

Tell me this is not what is to come. This picking a realm is already a crap shoot. Without realm transfers, free or otherwise, we may be stuck in a bad situation until eternity. Maybe that is why Herod is vastly overpopulated especially with this coupled with the rumor of a 80% fall off in players.

We give Blizzard a lot of flak, but they have to know this is a thing.

A quick google search tells me there is no server named Patchwerk on live anywhere. That would likely get a few people to move.

This is definitely it… They wont allow transfers to realms with healthy populations. In vanilla they only allowed xfers from full realms to empty ones.

So they rely on people on super active realms to sort of “downgrade” and go to the empty servers at end game… not the other way around. Thats why everyone is avoiding the lesser pop servers like the plague.

Its nice to level on an emptier server, but no one really wants to be on an empty server at the end game where theres no guilds raiding etc. So the only choice is to deal with leveling on a full server to guarantee at max level you will have an active community.

Blizzard in Vanilla saw allowing transfers off of empty realms as making the problem worse… rather than fixing it. So they didnt allow it.

Trying to get people to move around whether it’s before release or after with free xfers or whatever just causes people to have to face multiple groups of friends where some may want to move and others don’t. People keep going on and on about the importance of community in vanilla and yet they seem to fail to realize that the practices used in oldschool sized servers are far more detrimental to a community than layering or a megaserver model.

IE: if you get stuck in a 10k queue on launch day and half your friends stick to that server and half move, you’ve just harmed the super special Classic community more than you would have by just coming up with a long-term layering solution that lets people stay together without long-queues.

Wonder when they’ll add some pve servers. There’s 3 at High and 1 Full.

I’m genuinely curious what’s up with the names at this point.

BLAMMO and SKUM, as server names that you want to entice people into rolling on?

At first it was just whatever, small sample size, but now it’s starting to get weird.

(Also, I really hope you’re ready to open up more PVE servers on launch day if not earlier.)

But they allow it today in retail which grew out of Vanilla.

I doubt we’ll see more than the two we have. We only have the rp-pvp by converting the second one.

They do… I mean, they allow a lot of stuff in retail that they don’t in Classic. Its up to you to make the guess… They are emulating vanilla, do you think they will change the way server transfers work? Its a risky bet, but its your call.

Annnnd im at work until 11 eastern time. Missed that first name reservations already lol

Instead of opening these realms for creation, can you consider opening them for transfer? I already have names on Herod that I want, but in order for me to create new names on these new realms, I will have to delete names, which sounds frightening

not just blizzard but majority of pro-retail players too, but I think they just hope it fails so they aren’t left alone in their single player action game
