Wow. You guys are finally doing something about Drak’thul after it got changed from a PVP -> PVE server in Cata and completely died?
After 10 years? Why?
Can MoonG get a divorce from Wrymrest Accord? Asking for a friend.

Silvermoon/Mok’nathal - 1413 A, 925H
Skywall/Drak’thul - 1050A, 512H
If those numbers are even close to right, not a large merger by any means.

Population has dropped off pretty hard that last few weeks. I have some numbers from a few weeks ago and it was around 6500 for each of those servers.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Twisting Nether/Ravenholdt will be linked up with Maelstrom/Lightninghoof/Venture-Co. If this is the case, our situations won’t be much better.
We all really need to be linked up with a High pop realm.

6 Hour downtime to connect servers…
Hmm, maybe there is something else we are not being told.

Have you asked if this is ok with the realms yet? And providing free transfers if they don’t want to be connected with these realms?

Wow. I used to play Horde Skywall back in Wrath… was decent then. Wth happened?
Instead of listing each of the servers out, could each group of connected realms be given a name so that when picking a server to create a new character we are picking a collective “Data center or Group center based on time zone” first, while leaving the extension out of the equation. After picking a Center or Group based on our time zone we can then pick our Extension secondary. Example would be my name is Mokalyn-Emerald Dream and my Data or Group is Central Data Center or Central Group Center since Emerald Dream is Central Standard Time zone. I believe I have mentioned this before and actually sent in my ideas before.
I hope that makes sense. Final Fantasy does something similar to this and it might help with some confusion when wanting to create a new toon for new players or players who want to play in their own time zone or a time-zone that works best for them.
Lastly can we get RP-PVP server back for Emerald Dream.
Hangs head down feeling sad and rejected as an RP-PVP server that flourished at one point.

they should really just separate East coast based servers (that are housed in Chicago) and West coast servers (which are in Los Angeles) on the server list like they did in classic, that would make the choice much easier for some people who use latency as a consideration when picking their server.

Yep exactly. Kinda baffling that people don’t understand the difference between realm connections and cross realm zones.

Whoever got paid to come up with these merger plans should honestly be fired. If the goal is to merge realms that are dying a slow death and will continue to, this will achieve that.
If the goal was to create realms that have a chance at long term survival, all of these realms needed to be merged together. That would give a total of 6,907 wowprogress eligible players. That has a chance to succeed long term. 2 separate realms of 4K and 3K doesn’t.

So very true about CRZ and then you add in Warmode to confused everyone.

What about realms that are listed as medium pop, but are barely even medium and in general have weak populations?

I am not sure if that would be best way to separate the realms. The goal is to have fun first, and secondly, most players have do not run on a 4k machine or if they do, may not have the greatest interest or connection. And then that might limit 4k players who need a certain type of player at 4am for their raid.
What ESO does is have everyone on a mega server that allows everyone to be somewhat connect. I believe they do a layering if need be similar to what Blizzard did for Classic.
Please look up and understand how cross realm zones work vs actual server only stuff. It’s clear you have a misunderstanding in this area.
Is there anyway we could get a list of what realms are being considered for connections?
Don’t need to know when or to who. For guilds it would be nice to know if they’ll still be slogging it out in the barren backwaters or will have a much broader pool of people to recruit from.

I keep seeing comments since they announced this about people having a harder time finding rares… I mean, I don’t see anything changing at all with this on this front… Didn’t the Cross Realm Zones kinda do that, a long time ago now. When I am out in the world I rarely see anyone from Shandris-Bronzebeard, I do every once in a while, but I would say well over 95% of the time they are from different servers. As far as I am aware there is no empty zone because you are on a “dead” server.
