Earthen Ring needs merged. We’re one of the OG roleplay servers and are only CRZ’d with a few also-small neighbors. We’ve been hoping for a merge for a while now, see our thread:

Earthen Ring needs a merge! I keep looking at the list hoping to see us included in the list. I know you’re still working on making new connections Blizzard, but please don’t disappoint. The game can only benefit from more realm connections. I moved here at Legion and haven’t looked back. This realm is worthy! Please don’t disappoint us. #mergeearthenring

Anyone know the lockout period for transferring from one of the above listed realms once the connection is made? I’m unable to transfer now, so after reading this kinda get it. Just looking for time frame once connection is made - Thanks in advance for any guidance!
Earthen Ring needs an RP Server merger. Let’s see it happen! Let our stories flourish and become greater.

Agree with Arialynn. We could really use a merge. There have been many times times that I’ve been in-game and managed to never see another player outside of a couple of main areas and most of the players that I do see are not RPers.
For the health of our community, please include us in one of the next connections!

Earthen Ring has been in dire need of a merge for years now. We may show as a ‘Medium’ population realm but it genuinely feels like a ghost town on both sides of the fence.
I have a few 120’s on Emerald Dream, Wyrmrest Accord, and Moon Guard, and you don’t have to take more than a few steps away from the local tavern to see just how busy the cities are there.
Please show Earthen Ring the love it deserves and merge us so we can thrive in the social environment that WoW is supposed to be.

Why though?
The population of the 9 realms all combined are still going to be less than Hyjal, and since Blade’s Edge / Thunderhorn is slightly Alliance heavy and Agamaggan / Archimonde / Burning Legion / Jaedenar / Kargath / Norgannon / The Underbog is Horde heavy the connection could be a good thing.
There’s even a thread where several players from those servers claiming that their servers felt dead.
Their server feels dead because they just had their top guild transfer off. The fact that any guild can transfer off a “dead” realm is part of the problem here. Merging a bunch of crap to crap doesn’t solve the problem.
There’s no reason why 9 realms need to be connected when there are a bunch of other low pop realms they could bunch together. I’ve been on Alliance side, it’s pretty active.
Adding my voice in support of an Earthen Ring connection. I know there was some hope from some of the Sisters of Elune folk that they could join us, but it seems they’re going elsewhere for now. Please don’t let ER remain forgotten! #mergeearthenring

Earthen Ring merging with SoE/CC was always exceedingly unlikely as they’re in different data centers. (While timezones and battlegroups are irrelevant for connections, data centers aren’t and would require moving the servers before merging them.) Any merger will likely be with other Chicago RP realms. So, that means: Emerald Dream, Argent Dawn/The Scryers, Kirin Tor/Sentinels/Steamwheedle Cartel, or Lightninghoof/Maelstrom/Ravenhold/Twisting Nether/Venture Co.
Thank you for finally merging BWR/SC with Sisters and Cenarion! Although, it seems to only balance our factions out rather than provide numbers needed for each faction. It’s definitely a start, but we may need some additional merges down the line.
ED is RP-PvP, so unlikely Earthen Ring (RP) would be merged, but we’re already CRZ’d with Argent Dawn, The Scryers, Kirin Tor, etc. and have been for years, so merging these realms would be ideal. #earthen-ring

realms aren’t set to being PvP or PvE anymore. its just RP or normal realms, and you can turn WM on or off.

Oh, shi – yeah, here I am, stuck in the past. This opens up a lot of possibilities for remaining realms. PvP vs. PvE was an issue the last time we had realm connections.

That’s exactly what they just did last week - connecting Alterac Mountains / Balnazzar / Gorgonnash / The Forgotten Coast / Warsong cluster with Anvilmar / Undermine cluster.
I don’t know about the guilds that have been on Anvilmar and Undermine in the past, but most of the top progression guilds have already transferred off from Alterac Mountains cluster over the years because we have been dead. And from the looks of it, even after becoming a cluster of 7, we’re still going to be dead.
So I do agree that connecting dead server clusters with dead server clusters won’t make things any better.
But then just recently when Blizzard tried to connect some of the relatively more populated realms that “already has an established server identity”, many players from those realms were strongly against it & Blizzard ended up canceling the connection, so I don’t know.
At least Blade’s Edge / Thunderhorn / Agamaggan / Archimonde / Burning Legion / Jaedenar / Kargath / Norgannon / The Underbog cluster is going to be more than double the size (70k+) of Alterac Mountains / Balnazzar / Gorgonnash / The Forgotten Coast / Warsong / Anvilmar / Undermine cluster (31k+).
Yes, that’s what I was thinking, even just taking the ones under 40k, which is debatable, considering even 45k is pretty low, this will mean around 50 connections needed, 7 are happening this week, so if they can do them without more issues they should just about finish them before SL launch.
The reason why many of these bunched up clusters are once again needing more connections is because more than half of the connections they made back in 2014 for low pop realms didn’t help making things better.
So what are the Horde players on there supposed to do?
Just pay for transfers or stay miserable on a dead server cluster?
The last four were just connected - why the heck are you connecting more. Malfurion/Trollbane didn’t need these in the first place. Why couldn’t you just connected all the other four together.
Also, I would love to know why some servers get to complain and all of a sudden you back track.
Also, I hope you fixed that dupl bug where people who were connected got their auctions duplicated - those masses of gear still haven’t been cleared out of the ah.
