I don’t know if the person that posted back in December asking for layering on Obsidian Edge is the reason why layering was turned on (what seems like) this weekend, or if it was due to the HC meetup in IF after they took down Rag and Ironforge was jammed packed with players celebrating for why it was turned on? Either way, can it please be removed or can someone tell me why it should remain on? It makes the cities feel more empty and you don’t even notice your friends, guildies, etc. that are right near you due to layering. The fight over quest mobs seems to have ended since December, I just leveled my mage from 1-45 over the last 2 weeks and barely anyone is around to fight for the quest mobs and/or escort unlike the earlier release when you had lines everywhere, especially due to the HC community not being able to grp with others.
Please remove layering!
P.S. - I’m really liking this server, raid times are awesome and our guild is 10/10 MC last week and Ony down since Dec. So glad I don’t have to think about rerolling on a new server. Having a blast and hope things continue that way.

I don’t think you have layering.
I think your server is just empty.

If classic is anything to go by, then layers could be expected to be gone shortly before p3 goes live.
And I’d imagine that’s when transfers will be made available. Not surprising to myself…let everyone get comfortable on the megaservers, then let us face the queue boss unexpectedly. Tends to change people’s minds about forking over transfer fees.
Bro there is no layering on your server.
Your server is dead. LOL

There aren’t even layers on Jom anymore, there’s no way theres layers on your server. Simply addon will tell you if there are any.
On the Horde side it is…compared to Nov/Dec.
Obsidian edge is 100% layered right now, probably due to the guild downing rag and the celebration in ironforge afterwards.
Blizz please remove the layers, and also agree with above poster that it’s a great feeling server!!

Yea but your server is as dead a doornail. Not much life to be had there. Same with my server now too. There is only one single ally guild that I see super active on my server.
I’m sorry to hear you’re not having a good time with your server.
Again though, obsidian is not a dead server. It was specifically chosen for hardcore because we wanted lower population. We have 6 guilds going for leveling right now and at any time there are 300+ 1-59 players doing the challenge.
In terms of 2022 mega servers, I guess you could say it’s pretty low pop though lol 
Hit me up if you ever want to give HC a try =D

It’s definitely not “dead as a doornail” unless…you’re a horde player. Then yes, you might see tumbleweeds blowing through Orgrimmar with the occasional orc running by, or at least from what I’ve seen on my level 1 orc I had in the AH. But on the Alliance side, pretty good amount of activity given our server size. I think one of our guild officers said there’s like 5 non HC guilds raiding at the moment and a 6th seems to be forming. But as Dwarfs mentioned, of course we’re smaller population compared to any “mega server”.
The #1 reason why I picked this server was due to it being the only PVE server option for U.S. West, so raid times are pretty good for me.
And yes, there is definitely layering going on since the weekend. I’ve had to group with people 4 times in IF just so we could see each other and be able to trade and people posting now often to invite to layer 1 or 2. Hopefully it’s removed soon.
There definitely is layering (as of two days ago).
We got an extra Azuregos kill due to layering. I was there!

Its partially because a streamer came and took everyone away from my guild and server. they went to to be in his stream as he kept doing it daily until he quit. Steamers are really bad for WoW. all they cause to happen is a bunch of people to come in and zerg rush the entire zone and kill everything you need for a quest and they will all be there helping that one person. So they have fun. As long as they get to have fun and ruin the game for everyone else. Im really sick of these self centered streamers that only do it to get views and boost their egos because they fail at anything that is real life and arent capable of playing any other games apart from what it the trending FOTM game to try and stream.
He lagged my server out, caused me to have a 3 hour queue, I asked to xfer and Blizz said no. These people are causing server disruption which is a bannable offense. So I had to start over in SOM on this toon. My server was RUINED by a selfish piece of crap. So yea Im a little upset seeing as how they are thinking of doing it again. My god are thy so pathetic that they are unable to do what they do in WoW without an entire raid group helping them?
And what if they come to my server and ruin this place to. I tried making a guild and not a single person has logged in… I want to play on a server where there are ZERO streamers. Alliance PvP server in SOM. And I will remake this rogue. This will be my FOURTH rogue in SOM. Lowest level one too. I am fairly upset. Okay? These people are 100% incapable of doing anything on their own. they need an entire army to gather their mats and gear for them. to allow the streamer to tag the mobs, then they kill it. No skill. None. Just a bunch of people who are set on making sure that they are the only ones having fun at everyone else’s expense. All I want is to play a rogue, have fun doing it and not have a stampede of fan boys clear out the zone for me. They actually cause people to unsub from Classic. I will seriously go and play on a private server if this ever happens again since we are not allowed transfers and I REALLY want to play Classic.
