Bumping again because there has been no response for NA servers.
Does the EU response encompass NA?
On behalf of the community I represent in the council, we find this lack of consistent communication and accountability incredibly messy. It’s stressful, given many pay their $15/month exclusively to have access to other players to RP in primary cities. This is their source of fun in the game and the lack of care given ought to be stepped up.
Can we move toward a solution where exclusive events automatically shut off sharding in the subsequent reset, or automatically following the event ending? The way in which no one from any department at Blizzard seems to know ‘who’ performs this function doesn’t bestow much faith and this is such an important part of the game for roleplayers to fall messily by the wayside.
Taking ownership of a task is key, and it would be nice to know there is a steady hand on the wheel regarding RP-specific realms and sharding that thwarts activities that the realm represents.
Thank you for hearing me (us) out.

Edit: It appears that the Tuesday maintenance sured up sharding for RP realms. Nonetheless:
We need communication and a consistent time in which sharding stops. Please consider this moving forward - nothing helps a community more than transparency and communication, otherwise, it leads to unrest and uncertainty as it did here.
