Realm Connections -- August 27

[Esploratore-area-52]

More or less, even if unupdated since a while, they give you a decent idea, if you want an even better one check raider io realms section, but an example like this on wow progress will be something like 80-20% on raider io which becomes a 55-45% post connection, blizzard has done balancing like this many times this round.

Please keep combining RP servers into one…leave out WA and Moonguard if you want, but the RP connections so far have not been enough.

Maelstrom-TwistingNether-Lightninghoof-Ravenholdt-TheVentureCo are fine now, thank you very much. Emerald Dream has a self sustaining population as well, along with WyrmrestAccord and Moonguard. I can’t speak to the rest.

The Arathor and Drenden realms will join the Anub’arak, Chromaggus, Crushridge, Garithos, Nathrezim, and Smolderthorn realms.

Sad to see that my home server of Arathor has become so barren Happy to see it’s being connected to a realm named after the best Bug man of WOW.

Since alterac mountains is about to be connected, I wanted to let you all see something weird: on raider io it shows these stats:

Alterac Mountains
Balnazzar
Gorgonnash
The Forgotten Coast
Warsong

English

-04:00 (EDT)
-05:00 (CDT)
-07:00 (PDT)

Horde Dominant
Low Population
30k+ characters
61% H / 39% A

But in game it’s marked as full, and normally a realm marked as full has about 100k on raider io, not 30k. I checked if the guild progress was maybe great but not even that, there’s not a single full mythic guild and only 13 hc and 12 normal, I have no idea how they can call it full, in the eu I saw no discrepancies of the sort.

It’s not like this is some new info as I’ve mentioned it several times in related threads about realm connections.

Realm Connections -- July 23

Yes. And this really isn’t an effective way if they are trying to “fix” anything. Even the connected servers currently listed as “Full” as a result of the realm connections in 2014 aren’t exactly striving, like, at all. For example, Alterac Mountains / Balnazzar / Gorgonnash / The Forgotten Coast / Warsong, are connected servers shown as “Full”. They only have 6 guilds dabbling into Mythic progression, and only one got as far as 11/12. The rest are all below 5/12, and no guild has CE atm. …

@Esploratore-area-52

Yes the raid progression isn’t great at all but we have 10 guilds that has Mythic boss kills, it’s just that we have no guilds with CE (12/12M) - I don’t know why you described our realm’s raid progression worse than it actually is.

Some sort of indicator which people in your vicinity are tradeable with (are merged and not just sharded) would be nice.

@Hatred-hyjal

By this point in the game’s lifetime one would think that realm transfers would either be free, or considerably discounted…

That’s a terrible idea, free transfers were one of the reasons Rift is in such a sad state (there are many others, this was one).

@Hatred-hyjal

exactly how much more revenue do these character services need to create?

They’re a business, not a charity. That being said everything a business does costs money, that includes the maintenance and labor involved with running these optional services.

@Hatred-hyjal

But also, wouldn’t free transfers to move all of your characters together be healthy for the longevity of the game?

No, it wouldn’t again see Rift.

We’ve discovered an issue connecting Muradin and Nordrassil to Azjol-Nerub, Blackrock, and Khaz Modan.

While the other connections will be implemented tomorrow, we’re planning to try this one again next week. We will let you know an exact date and time for it, as soon as possible.
