Option 3.
Bring back the Massively Multiplayer element of this game, the core of the MMORPG magic we all came back to classic for.

Option 4.
FU Blizzard
I play in regional WA with 200ping on Shadowstrike. Moving is not viable, and the merger will kill the game for me.

Option 1 shouldn’t even be a discussion, that’s a requirement.
Option 3 is also the best option for SS, don’t listen to the very loud few on SS that want to close transfers. So many more people on SS want to leave than stay, the only ones that want to stay are raidlogging parsehunters that enjoy being the big fish in a tiny pond, and are also scumbags of human beings as evidenced by their behaviour on the SS discord. If they posted on these forums in the same manner they do in discord they would be perma-banned.

I play on Shadowstrike, while I see that #3 is the only really viable long term solution moving forward, I do want the option to transfer to Wild Growth. There is a noticeable difference in ping between Wild Growth and Crusader Strike when connecting from Oceanic locations, and Wild Growth is the lesser of the two evils.
I don’t think the oceanic population ever really had the choice between a pve and pvp realm for the majority of sod; given that penance had an ever dwindling population. Hence the choice of a pvp server was done for a necessity from a gameplay perspective, and not because everyone is a die hard pvp fan.
It is a bit sad to know that it never crossed your mind that hosting dungeon and raid instances on oceanic server is a good idea if the group is majority of the group/raid is from that region. Given WoW’s long term history and through the lessons learned through classic expansion packs, battleground/arena group changes back in tbcc/wotlkc,
I can’t fathom how the entire idea of this cross-regional adjustments never crossed the great minds at blizzard (especially when you can admit that the tech exists in modern retail wow). There were many instances where this tech would have benefited, from when many oceanic servers started to die off in classic as well as in SOM.

option 3 obviously, are the other 2 options complete jokes?
1 only helps penance, which is a good thing at least but then shadowstrike is still cucked
2 is the dumbest BS ever, people rolled on SS to play on a PVP server, make the PvE babies suffer in the world the same way we have (not that there’s actually anyone in the world outside of searing gorge and EPL LMAO)
just do cross-realm ffs, classic era has it so what’s so hard about doing it for SOD?

option 1, immediately. Enable FCM’s from penance to WG NOW!
Then advised that option 3 will be available.
so in essence both, but let penance people leave now. We are all ready to go,and have all gone through the stages of acceptance and are willing to take the move to WG. The benefits far out weigh and negative affects.
State there will be the option of 3, so those on penance who perhaps want to move to SS, will know they can shortly after however, that number will be so very small.
1 - NOW
3 - soon after
Many thanks

Hopefully going forward, for any future iterations of Classic, the backbone will enable such options as seeded instances, so that Oceanic players can enjoy low raid pings, while on a Mega Server in the US. Surely, this is something that can be learned from, and implemented in the future, to save such issues.

@Fwoibles understand this. The size of Australia > US. Thanks for nothing Fwouseless.
We don’t want to be on your server either. And if we have 20 players you have 30. “Incorrect opinions”. You screwed all of Penance over when we had our transfers withdrawn because of some misinformation campaign from your discord. We should not suffer for your ignorance. Keep your world pvp and toxic pvp on your server, we don’t want it.

Option 3 is the best choice, it allows all players to have their say and not get hindered by the few.

Option 3.
Please open up transfers asap so that we have no delay in going into phase 5. Its less then a week away and we don’t want to have guildies stuck left behind because they forgot to transfer.

Is anyone from Penance advocating for Option 2? No. Nobody from Penance wants to do that. Most would quit. And the problems would still exist for everyone here. And now we have to deal with all the toxicity from the pvp player base on SS along with remaining on a next-to-dead realm. For the sake of a few milliseconds of ping. Nah.

Playing on a PvE server is like playing a game offline. Go play the sims you muppet.
Typical pvp toxic playerbase. Please let me join your server! Id love that so much. Im sure it would go down like a rock. What a great suggestion. Sims. Keep up the constructive discussion
