Realm Consolidation Update - Season of Discovery

so cool, now do mega servers on retail

Are you able to comment whether we should keep our character in limbo for a chance to reclaim our name, or to choose a temporary new name to continue playing in hopes there will be some way to reclaim the old name later?

That would be nice to clarify, Iā€™m under the impression that if we choose a name we are much less likely to ever get our name back. I got a raid in less than an hour so it would be great to know soon.

Still no character creation on CS. Itā€™s up on Wild growth.

Canā€™t create horde characters on lone wolf because I have ally.

Canā€™t create horde characters on Living flame because faction imbalance.

Canā€™t transfer horde from Chaos bolt because it transfers to wild growth for some reason.

Are we just not supposed to play this game?

My character is still not transferred and I cannot log into itā€¦You might want to do another check. Its been transferring since 9pm EST on Tuesday!

The fact character creation is still down on crusader strike is bonkers to me

Seems like they are trying to figure out the name issue first, if they open character creation first they will just make the issue worse.

HEY STOP IGNORING US PLEASE WEā€™VE BEEN WAITING 5 MONTHS FOR AN ANSWER [quote=ā€œFwoibles, post:446, topic:1836108ā€]
Hey everyone, there will not be any additional transfers opening up this weekend. Weā€™re giving these moves time to bake and seeing how populations settle before making more decisions on Monday.

Please let us change our characters if we already selected a new name. I mistyped when I was putting it in again and messed the name up. I canā€™t even stomach looking at it now.

Maybe Iā€™m being overly sensitive but that name is one a friend used who is no longer with us, and Iā€™m full on willing to pay for a name change.

Mine has been saying processing, 5 mins left for the last 2 days. can you please help me? All transfers are NOT processed.

When are free transfers supposed to end? Also when are we opening back up char creation on CS? Was supposed to be open at 10am this morning.

Point 1: If you DONā€™T open xfers to US from Oce, The Oce Servers will die anyway.
(Because many who wanted to leave will unsub) So it ends in lower player base either way.

Point 2: Would blizzard prefer to watch all OCE slowly unsub? (Which will happen as they steadily die).

Blizzard continues to create the problems with servers seeming to be inactive because they keep facilitating the ability to simply raid log once a week and be able to get every gear slot filled with epics.
When you only need to log in an hour a week and get gearedā€¦OF COURSE THE SERVER WILL NOT BE ACTIVE WITH GROUPS RUNNING DUNGEONSā€¦ raiders already got dungeon setsā€¦

Example: Tier set pieces all obtained from raid. These pieces are also currently superior in pvpā€¦ Meaning they donā€™t even need to log in to rank upā€¦
Players have either more DMG less HP or more HP less DMGā€¦
Blizzard decided to give 50% more HP in bgs and in pvp reduce spell DMG by 40% ā€¦ physical by 30%ā€¦the only point of rank 14 is weaponsā€¦Class weapons being added are already superior to rank 14ā€¦
Nax weapons vastly superiorā€¦

Note: The token currency system is a better way to get players logging in to complete content which in turn creates a vibrant active server.
When all Oce players actually log in to shadow strike it is very activeā€¦
Itā€™s not dead because no one is subbedā€¦itā€™s dead because they raid logā€¦
So Obviously raid logging is the main reason for the low pop.

Solution: Completely change the loot systemā€¦Instead of each raid boss having chance to drop items.
Each boss now drops only a token that ALL participants can loot equally!
None of thisā€¦roll Highest lucky stuff.
This creates Ninjas in pugsā€¦Drama about lootā€¦and makes the whole experience fairerā€¦
Now you place all tier and dungeon/raid loot on a vendor.
Every item has a price.
(Can choose any raid boss drop item)
Letā€™s say a t2 piece head slot will cost:
20x raid boss tokens
50x dungeon boss Tokens.
100g
Set amount of profession materials (to make professions more useful)
Now you have to log in and actually clear content every week to get a piece and everyone who participates get equally rewarded for their time and effort.

A dungeon piece item:
(Can chose any dungeon boss drop equipment)
10x dungeon boss tokens
20g
Random profession materials.

Some people will be against this idea.
Itā€™s not a new idea though.
I think it solves the raid logging issues
The dead server issues as well.

Weā€™re looking into options for name changes once this system has been restored

Please do it as a PER character reclamation instead of just an account logging into classic. Plenty of people may be playing different versions of classic but not SoD i.e. since Jan

Also for the outtage, you should give out 1 free name change for people who xferred over thinking the reclamation would have been in effect like said.

This is logicalā€¦which means they will never do it.

WHy canā€™t I transfer from Lone Wolf to Crusader Strike? It keeps saying realm isnā€™t accepting transfers??? Itā€™s been two days come on. Get your crap together. This is humiliating that this hasnā€™t even been addressed yet and I know itā€™s happening to a lot of other players as well

Why per account and not per character? There are tons of people that stopped playing SoD and still log into Classic either for HC or for Era. Kind of silly that I had to change my names because I was forced onto a server with people that had my names and they are still lvl 25 and havenā€™t logged onto those characters since Jan or Mar, hell they might not even be playing SoD anymore.

This is why to be fair to everyone it should have been two new servers with NO new character creation until after a certain period of transfers (so that people couldnā€™t just poach and hold names as a new character).

Had already been moved to Wild Growth from Lava Lash. Was looking forward to a lottery chance of getting my names back and if not nothing lost.

Please be transparent about your plans with unlocking character creation on crusader strike. A lot of people have characters stuck in the deleted screen that they canā€™t raid with.

bump this please
