We’ve now completed a comprehensive study of realm populations for every realm in the world. Over the next 2-3 months, we’re going to connect the low-population realms to other existing realms. This process will take place during scheduled maintenance, connecting a few realms each week, until we’ve connected every low-population realm in every region to a substantially larger population of players.

Interesting how you say “This process will take place during scheduled maintenance” as when you schedule extra maintenance you can still say it is scheduled maintenance as you have scheduled it.
When I saw “scheduled maintenance” I assume it to be Tuesday not some extra scheduled maintenance you added.

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.

You completed a comprehensive study of realm populations for every realm in the world why have you not just listed all the server merges you are going to do?

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.

Is blizzard engaging with their customers so hard for them to do?
