Realm Connections -- September 2-3

[Karinn-alleria]

So Moonrunner is my main realm and it is now missing from my realm list. Anyone else missing realms?

[Tyberyus-lightbringer]

ty. where did you see that?

[Karinn-alleria]

Anyone else missing a realm from the moonrunner merge? I am missing my main realm Moonrunner?

[Tyberyus-lightbringer]

try to relog & check again or scroll down the realm list & look for it. click it. relog after clicking it. it should show up

[Karinn-alleria]

Logged completely out and back in. Found it way down the list. Thank you Tyberyus

Because the servers in question were arguably ‘medium’ pop when actually compared to the highest pop servers. But I don’t think that merge is dead… only delayed.

Malfurion/trollbane was high population and they connected 4 others to it.

I have a character on Stormreaver which is medium population and was never connected and so far nothing there but have to push 4 other servers onto a high population one.

[Valerionn-nemesis]

Merge the brazilian servers Blizzard, we are looking forward to it.

The list of realms on raiderio website (https://raider.io/realms/us) is what I usually use to check which realms are connected to which, since it does seem to be the most updated when Blizzard’s own forum list under the “ALL REALMS” section (https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/) isn’t updated yet when it comes to realm connections that were recently made.

@Zaria-black-dragonflight

isn’t updated yet when it comes to realm connections that were recently made.

Not to mention some realms (Detheroc/Shadowmoon) have 2 forums, probably a relic from pre 2014 that they never fully merged them.

[Feliar-duskwood]

Will Duskwood/Bloodhoof see a any action?

[Shalashaska-stormrage]

Thanks. Dreadmaul/Thaurissan/Frostmourne looks really legit for Alliance. Combined they have an alliance pop comparable to Proudmoore.

edit: Looks like this is Oceanic. Pass.

The other connected realms pretty much all still have laughable populations. Alliance on Tichondrius have a better pop than pretty much all those connected realms put together.

@Zaria-black-dragonflight

I would argue that any realm / realm cluster that has less than 40k are in need of help. Which means all the servers below #53.

I think even thats too conservative. Stormreaver definitely needs help.

[Zaria-black-dragonflight (Zaria)]

@Niia-stormreaver

I understand that.
That’s why I also wrote this on that post I made.

@Zaria-black-dragonflight

this list doesn’t show the issue that some servers that are above #52 has, with one faction being heavily populated while the other faction being pretty much dead - so there’s still a lot to “fix”, even with the servers that are above 40k+.

[Esploratore-area-52]

Ahaha, that’s a fun one!

[Esploratore-area-52]

When you answered my post about alterac mountains showing an excessive population indicator, you seemed to hint that it’s a realm you play on; if so, I saw it went from about 30 to 58k on raider io, does it seem ok population wise now?

[Zaria-black-dragonflight (Zaria)]

Nothing seems to have changed to be honest, except for the number of items that are available on the Auction House maybe.

I never turn off Warmode, which means I am usually thrown into random WM shards so it’s not like I am seeing more players around me compared to how it was before.

Alterac Mountains / Balnazzar / Gorgonnash / The Forgotten Coast / Warsong was a Horde dominated server whose Horde vs Alliance ratio was 1 : 0.23 with ZERO 12/12 M guild. (one guild finally got CE less than a week ago).

Anvilmar / Undermine was an Alliance heavy server whose Horde vs Alliance ratio was 0.42 : 1 with just ONE CE guild.

The rest of the 12 guilds on this server with all 7 realms combined that has ever attempted Mythic raiding are all below 5/12. As you can tell, with such mediocre raid progression and the guilds having difficulty recruiting raiders, our server is never going to strive.

So yes, if you were an Alliance player on Alterac Mountains + 4 cluster before the recent connection, your life is maybe slightly better now with more Alliance players to play with and more progression focused guilds to join on Anvilmar and Undermine.

If you were a Horde player on any of these 7 servers? I don’t think there’s much of a difference, because we all know already that connecting dead server clusters with dead server clusters isn’t going to solve anything except for maybe making the Auction House economy slightly “better”.

[Tidalwave-gilneas (Tidalwave)]

Is Gilneas/Elune now linked to that Eonar group? Our servers weren’t mentioned, but all I see are Andorhal, Zuluhed and Eonar folks everywhere

[Bgrade-burning-blade (Bgrade)]

Any idea when the next realm groupings will be announced? My Guild is currently 11/12 Mythic and if we’re merged this week its going to throw a huge wrench in our progression

[Livingdoll-thaurissan]

Dear Blizzard team, thanks for the efforts with trying to counteract the H:A ratio on Frostmourne however a free transfer would have been a better consolation for dumping existing Dreadmaul/Thaurissan to the Frostmourne pool

Let’s just hope some of us on the smaller servers get a chance at actually playing the game instead of needing to sit through queues on and around release dates

[Ravenpaw-earthen-ring]

Please consider connecting Earthen Ring. We’re one of the OG RP servers, and I feel like we keep being overlooked. The server is DEAD. During peak hours, 5 people in Stormwind. It’s depressing. Can go weeks without seeing anyone talk in Trade chat. Please help us #MergeEarthenRing: #mergeEarthenRing - #116 by Jarrick-earthen-ring
