Realm Connections -- August 20

Except it doesn’t matter because they never went through with either of those? It’s called testing the waters.

And they’re testing the waters here, and we’re telling them it’s a TERRIBLE idea.

They’re not testing the waters. You can’t compare because the two things you mentioned were ideas they mentioned to see how people would react, whereas they’re connecting realms based on data only they have access to. They’re not randomly throwing realms together to see how people will react.

It was unequivocally stated by Ion that THERE WOULD BE NO MORE FLYING.

And? How does that contradict what I said? Because he didn’t say it like “there might not be flying in the future”? That’s not how announcements are made. And just because something sounds like it’s set in stone doesn’t mean it’s not meant to test the waters. In fact, you get a much bigger reaction one way or the other when you announce something as if it’s a fact.

That was just an incorrect assumption on your part. I read it as them scheduling maintenance for connections. Why would it have to be during Tuesday maintenance? They have regular maintenance stuff to do during that time.

Because people think they know the server data better than Blizzard and would argue for weeks against some of their plans. I mean, just look at this thread.

I was not expecting the Hyjal-Proudmoore merger. I play Alliance on Hyjal because that was the server my husband (boyfriend at the time) played on since 2004; I started playing in 2010. I’ve always been saddened with how few Alliance players there are but Hyjal is home for me. Though I’m confused with this decision; it will be nice to see more Alliance players and not be vastly outnumbered by the Horde.

You mean recently? Or back in MoP?

It’s one of the recent connections.

Good to know, thank you.

Gallywix realm will be connected too? we are a very low pop realm.

As someone from Mug’thol, thank you Blizzard. Our raid scene has their fair share of cutting edges, but it stagnates pretty quick each tier.

I have been on Proudmoore for years…it sure as HELL is not a “medium” server. I am also on Zul’Jin. Would you call that one a “medium” server? They are both FULL.

How is Proudmoore supposed to absorb Hyjal - we are already synced with Tichondrious in Warmode.

Are you trying to force everyone to go Horde?

Oh you’ll still be vastly outnumbered by Horde because were synced with Tichondrious. I’s literally going to be a nightmare now for Alliance players.

Just sayin what rio is saying.

75k players is not full apparently.

Good morning only for people who think the Hyjal/Proudmoore merge is a terrible idea.

I see u talking bout rio and pop only. but rio only tracks a certain number of highest keys done per server. and i imagine that it doesnt track people who dont do keys or raid.

last i checked the numbers on wowprog are active users at 120 logged in in the last 30 days. i could be wrong tho, i just woke up and am bout to head off to work.

Wowprog also tracks based on raid kills mostly, and is horribly out of date.

If it were truly full, like Stormrage and A52, there’d be no merging.

Your hollow wishes deserve to be sent to those misbegotten naysayers. They have nothing. Not even logic.

We who ARE in favor of these connections have been waking up with better mornings since Blizzard announced this decision.

Thank you, Blizzard, for doing what is right.
