The last 5 years must have been a fever dream. Sorry, friend, you clearly don’t exist /s
Right all the afk people being 20% of the pop, then the ghost town everywhere you go in the world, get real. You will not see players while leveling, major capitols being ghost towns, won’t see another player outside of auction house or rp event location.
Your information comes from warcraftlogs, which only counts raiding and arenas. There are MANY people who don’t do either, including my own father. You have no understanding of our community.
Right, it would be better to merge all the East Coast PvP servers together and enforce faction balancing (no transfers off allowed). Do the same for the West Coast servers! Then apply the same approach to the PvE servers ultimately resulting in 4 mega servers. Problem solved!
Blizzard needs to take accountability for failing to intervene and prevent monofaction servers, while also holding players who chose to roll on a PvP server accountable for that decision. It’s a win! The only people who will be upset are those who don’t want to deal with world PvP even though they knowingly chose a PvP server.
Going on a limb to say there are several different ways to create the “mass” server and have it be seamless to the players and guilds. The approach they’ve chosen feels cheaper and quicker to get to some result they are after.
Posted as a general reply, but reposting specifically as a reply to this post:
Bloodsail is not locked, nor has been locked. We have the most unique community in classic progression, and its thriving. Sure, we’d love it if we had more like minded people around, but thats not something a lot of people want to get into. Give us our own shard, connect the shard to Pagle, link the AH, and let us move our character names, guilds and their affiliated achievements over. Ideally the banks too.
Signed, GM of one of the oldest guilds on the server, complete with a discord of screenshots including how we got our guild name on August 26, 2019.
So our fan club made it to forums on an alt? Post on your 90, let’s see who’s behind the mask Scooby Doo style
At this point I feel like youre mistaking us with another server, it’s the only thing that makes logical sense beyond, you know, trolling lol
Well, we finally got confirmation that Classic is just a side project and doesn’t receive full financial support.
Connecting large realms together would probably take a very long downtime. Everytime they’ve done a database copy or merge job (Clones from Vanilla to TBC, Achievements from TBC to Wrath) the downtime estimates have exploded from 2 to 20 hours.
If Blizzard could speak the truth instead hiding behind their own incompetence the reasonable players would probably cut them some slack. If they said we’re going to connect all the existing realms without anyone losing anything…but its going to be a 48 hour downtime… a lot of people would complain but most might be okay with it considering the alternatives.
They won’t do that! These people love hiding behind low level alts! They can dodge accountability that way!
I mean, they did, they said it was too expensive in manpower and cost to connect existing realms
If it is who I think, accountability isn’t in their vocabulary
5 year old and more community? What community, there are only 17 players who have logged a heroic blade lord…107 on normal. It is literally dead.
Raiding is not the only content in WoW. Given your lack of knowledge regarding the community of BsB and lack of stake in the outcome, I respectfully invite you to leave the conversation.
They are going to be more worried about money when the subs start hemorrhaging faster because of this nonsense.
its not happening that way in a few more days majority of people will be on a PvE server
Right sorry, those 158 horde players leveling characters who will literally never see a single player while leveling. Very great community. You’re too attached to a mere realm name, grow up.
Again, many people don’t raid or log their raids. You are either completely out of touch or are purposefully trolling.
They won’t get that. Trolls will be trolls
