Is there anyway we could get a realm population estimate for all currently release servers so that we know how full Stalagg is? Or when the next server will be opened up?
We arenāt past anything since the game hasnāt even launched yet. Layering has little to do with this since each layer is vanilla population capped and will be gone as people leave. Megaservers are bad, and ruin the entire game experience. Why would they change core game systems for no reason?

I do too, it was clearly the front runner for me so iām glad it worked out the way it did as far as who picked what servers.
I just happen to think BB was the best of the names for pvp

I doubt it.
If Herodās queues are horrendous, I doubt Blizzard will turn off layering for that realm.

Let them sit in queue and offer free transfers. Itās blizzardās M.O.
Insulting already? my my, how childish.
You can agree to disagree like an adult, you know.
Iāve been on overpopulated servers, and dead servers and iād take waiting an hour to log in every day before rolling on the lower pop server.
That seems like a negative for Herod either way. RIP Herod I guess if that is the case.
Stalagg went from announcement to live in I believe less than 8 hours, giving my guild, friends and me zero time to deliberate whether we wanted to make the switch there and whether we should delete characters on Herod to reserve it on Stalagg. While yes their are others servers, they are not ideal as they are either West Coast, PvE or also already full. Some of the people I know who have names on Herod that they like, were unable to get them on Stalagg due to the short notice given.

So based on the population density of NA, you have a lot more people that benefit from east coast time zone/chicago based servers for ping. That makes Eastern Servers more alluring. However, 2 of the eastern servers become highly undesirable when Thalnos has been claimed by brazilians (because blizzard failed to give them their own server) and Faerlina is the streamer server (leads to an inorganic world, and plenty of memery that wants to be avoided by many). So that left Herod, or fairbanks. Fairbanks is not an EST realm, and its not been published where the server physically is yet. So your only real option as the MAJORITY of the playerbase is herod. Stalagg just opened, but theres lots of inertia with getting people to switch servers. Everyone wants to play immediately on a server that wonāt die, so a middle ground might just be impossible.

The solution for relieving Herodās population: bribe streamers to move to that server.

Only if people refuse to listen to Blizzard outright asking you to move.

What they said was each layer is approximately the same as a vanilla serverās population cap. In the end they will condense down to one layer. Hence once layering is gone the server will be at the vanilla concurrent pop cap.

Same with the guild I am rolling with, just decided after a quick discord discussion it was pointless to go. Thereās going to be a strong economy and population no chance of it going dead and we are in for the long haul.
I get that but that was mostly me reacting to people who seemed to be only taking Herod and w/e server the streamers are going to be on as the only pvp servers being really talked about in this thread beside the newer one. Unless I was missing some other reason why the other servers were not brought up.
sry not sry
ur 10k queue will be more than an hour (lmao) just to get into a server so massively populated that doing anything not instanced will be an absolute nightmare once they permanently turn off layering in phase 2
servers wonāt be dead even if theyāre below medium pop with how their caps are right now. literally a low pop server is still in the range of a max pop vanilla realm.
