Say what you will about Aggrend but his team never erased server culture, history, and identity. That was 110% Zirene and his clown car dented team. The dude made some of the worst decisions possible in SoD. Everyone cheered on Aggrend doing less but in the process they championed the Dented Mfer himself, Zirene. Congratulations Zirene! You have put the first nail in the coffin of classic. I’d say I hope you’re happy but I’m sure you’re just overjoyed with your decisions.
So what does Bloodsail Buccaneers do, just transfer to Pagle where all our names are taken? We are not on the locked server list and don’t have a special new target server. Have any blues read this thread lately?

The last post they gave us was basically your going to Pagle we can’t afford another option at this time. Most of us BSBers though have been in here letting them know exactly what they’re doing to us. I’m optimistic given our turn out that we will get something changed, even if it’s that they don’t close the server to new accounts and leave us alone. I’d save your names where you can in advance just in case though. I know I have and I’ve lost five names including my RP character.

there shareholders arent.
If you’re unhappy with this, then unsub. That’s the only thing that means anything to Blizz.
But people won’t. So Blizz has no reason to do better.

So what will stop players from logging into these 5 brand-new, empty servers next Tuesday and just stealing other peoples’ names?
Still waiting for a blue post about Bloodsail…

Hopefully Blizzard will lock out new character creation for a few days.

I feel this post is lacking the affirmation of guild transfers and if they’re not included why the hell not? Pretty ridiculous after all the work and time we’ve put into getting where we are at. I guarantee you will not see a single negative post about allowing guild transfers.

I’m not even on an NA realm but this is sounds like such a cop out answer. “We do not have the time” as if this isn’t a snap decision being announced on twitter of all places before being implemented mid-tier, mid-expansion just a few days later.
The “solution” being proposed to whatever “problem” has been identified sounds to me like it’s instead a huge inconvenience for all the players involved.
If proper realm connections isn’t something that can be pulled off in a handful of days, then don’t. Take the time and manpower to do things properly - the players won’t care if it takes weeks or months or even happens next year. Do it after the final tier of Mists of Pandaria if you have to. Just do it properly.
Also, changing Arugal from PvP to PvE achieves nothing except killing off the PvP realm experience for the vast majority of people who chose Arugal over Remulos in the first place. Remulos is only seen as unviable because players were led to believe that it might be closed after Wrath of the Lich King Classic. Making Arugal PvE doesn’t bring players back to Remulos, and it doesn’t fix the difficulties Alliance players will have due to their small (but not insignificant!) population relative to Horde. Leave the AU realms alone until you can come up with a better solution than throwing your hands in the air and removing our choice entirely.

oh… great now Now no one is going to answer my question, so all that’s left is to do is trial and error, thanks Blizzard for your ignore.

Telling ~90% of all active guilds, time to start over on progress, achievements, and probably even recruitment sure sounds like a plan to put a pillow over the face of a sleeping WoW Classic.

Bloodsail Buccaneers has been my home since BC Classic. It has always been a healthy and unique community. It is an escape from many “retail” mentalities that just take the fun out of the game. Many of us are playing classic for a classic feel. A community that cares about its members is a huge part of that feel, and BSB still has that.
BSB is a server that cares about the details. We’re an rp server! We deserve to be a little eccentric, and I love the server for that. To take our guilds and names away destroys so much that we have worked to build. Imagine rping for years as Sprocketfoot the Magnificent and then losing your name! RP servers are most likely to build personas around their names; you know, rp! To strip us of those names is to destroy the identity and legend of many of our characters. The same thing goes for our guild names.
Please consider the damage that you are doing and the legends that you are destroying.
I would ask that BSB be allowed to stay unlocked and open to those still looking for a more classic community that is made of legends - storied and marvelous. In lieu of that, I would strongly implore you to at least give BSB the same courtesy that you are giving other servers.

I want to harp on again about the wording used,
Nothing has been done for Bloodsail. It’s not a locked server, we’ve never had free transfers during any of the times they’ve been done, so to say we could have moved at any time is insulting. We are a small server, but to say we want a singleplayer experience on an RP realm is further insulting. Lumping us together with the locked servers in wording is bad, and the actual effect it’s going to have is equally damaging. Some form of acknowledgement would be greatly appreciated.
