Problem is that many on Herod already reserved names and cannot get them on Stalagg. (Doesn’t matter to me, but for many in my group it does).

I say let all the people on Herod enjoy there 4 hour queue times the first week so I can level more efficiently on stalagg! Then you are all welcome on stalagg, you’re drama is not!

I mean…there’s a reason people were saying you guys didn’t make enough realms. I was expecting around 20 for launch and we currently have what, 12?

And why were there no Blues on sight on the forums or twitter or reddit day of the name reserve?
Where were you then?
Nothing out of you.
Sure, that scum Asmon got his name somehow even after playing around with the character creation, he somehow knew he had time, but loads of other people didnt.
No support there.
Long queues all day long, no feedback, no support.
Only one new US realm.

If you do open another realm, could you please give us a little more warning next time? I’m not going to reroll unless I get the names I want and by the time I heard about Stalagg opening, it had been up for a couple hours.
It’s just a bummer that the people who live on the forums could grab “high value” names and immediately start selling them on discord hours before a lot of folks even heard of the server, and I think if Blizz did a better job communicating that issue would be at least somewhat mitigated.

While I appreciate the update, this bothers me. I played on a medium pop to low pop server back then, and really loved it. I tried a high pop server and did not like it. This is bothersome to me, but I’m probably the only one bothered by it.
Before anyone tries to ‘educate’ me on the value of a high pop server, please don’t. I’ve already heard it all before. Thanks.

So they can fit all the players on one realm with their new layering technology…
But, they won’t be able to turn off layering in the future without players getting extremely long login queues.

They expect 50% (at least) drop by Phase 2, I would assume.

If you don’t mind it terribly, you might be safe on one of the RP servers. Maybe.
I appreciate the honesty, but i’m gonna pass on that.
I’d rather wait in queue every time i log in for months and feel certain my server will be popular and vibrant a year from launch, then roll on the consolation server and take a chance at being on a lower pop realm.

so open up more servers? why are you letting this be a thing when the original game’s world is so small? you even admit to as much with your line about forestalling the problem. phase 2 is going to be a problem in regards to in-game sustainability for anything medium+

i moved my toons off whitemane after seeing its popularity explode, but theres more EST servers than PST so my options are limited if i wanted the lowest ping lol.

Blizzard is assuming a high player dropoff rate, I’m guessing. Having a packed server isn’t a big deal if half the players quit in a month. Well, that’s what they’re hoping for anyway.

They did, and not enough people are making characters there. That’s the point of this post.

Blizzard should make just one server without layering so these “no-layering” folks finally understand why it is needed.

they just opened new server, yet people are not switching. removing layers will not compensate for the people who quit, and there will be MASSIVE queue for herod on phase 2.
Imagine doing BWL on phase 2 week 1 and your main tank crashes, 1h to relog, bye raid.

i mean to say that they’re not opening up enough. 1 additional server for people to realize “oh dang these queues are huge” is completely missing the point that even if you don’t have queues as medium+ population, you’re still going to be struggling to get literally anything non-instanced done because of how massively bloated the game world will be post-layering
Just have a single megaserver of each type for the region.
This is 2019, every other MMO has megaservers

That would only work if I were interested in RP’ing, which I’m not. It’s not fair to those who do RP to fill their servers with non-rp’ers.
I’ll deal with whatever happens, classic is something I never thought I’d live to see and as long as the community is decent I’ll stick it out. Just seems to me the more people there are, the less mature they become.
