Overcrowded Realm Update

[Hammeroidd-dalaran (Hammeroidd)]

Thank you. This answers so many questions lol.

[Dokta-gurubashi]

First in 10 char. Damn!

Thanks for the update.

[Morehwine-wyrmrest-accord (Morehwine)]

Really interesting. Thank you, Kaivax.

[Dokta-gurubashi]

Please also note that our realm population estimates of Low, Medium, High, and Full are based on this increased capacity – a Medium realm today already has more characters on it than even the most crowded realms did back in 2006.

This is really exciting.

I cannot wait.

Interesting, nice bit of knowledge there.

Thanks for putting that into perspective, I think a lot of people weren’t exactly sure what the actual populations were on these realms

[Eloraell-moon-guard]

Thanks for the update.

when we turn off layering permanently

1st TY for the update. 2nd I LOVE reading that line right there. Gives me a warm fuzzy !

[Gruklaar-hyjal]

when we turn off layering permanently before Phase 2

The most important part.

[Il-illidan]

No I’m staying Herod can’t trick me buddy!

[Sabetha-turalyon (Sabetha)]

when we turn off layering permanently before Phase 2

The most important part.

They already said it, but it does help repeating it for the people that think “they’ll never turn it off! They wont be able to!”.

They’re going to turn it off and just make us suffer queues if the population is too high.

[Angrykytten-moon-guard]

What about faction balance? Wouldn’t it be good to have devs review what the current faction numbers look like and then communicate this to the community?

Thank you for update.

[Eopoo-anetheron]

This 100 percent

[Tukaw-dentarg]

oooo. massive realm populations. me likey.

[Gangsta-maiev]

REAL SOLUTION would be to open yet another server and designate it STREAMER FREE if you want people to switch from herod. you have over a week left blizzard, please release one more server and designate it STREAMER FREE. the overwhelming popularity of herod is because people want to avoid streamers. give us what we want. thanks!!

[Felslayer-muradin (Felslayer)]

Honest question: What happens if nowhere near the number of people quit before phase 2 as predicted?

In other words, the smallest realms in Classic are going to be more lively than the largest realms on retail.

This, this triggers my dopamine like finding an arcane crystal while mining.

Herod is the people’s sever though… i can’t switch
