Should Blizzard offer a transfer to let the player choose where they want to go or are they simply stuck heading to wherever Blizzard thinks is fair?
Thaurissan is being amalgamated into Frostmourne, which is great for the Alliance players, but for Horde you are being moved from a low population server to a low Horde population server and the only real benefit of moving there is for the better AH.
My guild moved from Thaurissan to Barthilas and we all had the same thoughts, if you want to play Horde you move to Barthilas, and for Alliance you move to Frostmourne.
I have no idea the server populations over on the NA servers, but it will no doubt have similar numbers and for now I think Blizzard should offer anyone who has had a realm merge a chance to move to a server of their choice, not one Blizzard forces them onto. For some that means moving to a larger server and one that favours their faction, for others it means staying on a low population server for personal choices.
Blizzard isn’t merging any servers. I noticed that here and on Wowhead that people don’t understand the difference between “merging” and “connecting.”
Nothing will change for the people getting connected to Frostmourne except they will have a better AH now.
It’s technically a merge, you keep your name and server affix. Assume our servers will merge, you will have Tovi-MoonGuard and I will have Akäraven-Barthilas, but we will be on the same server with the same AH, the same guilds, everything that can happen with same server names can also happen between players who are connected.
It was the same when I was on Thaurissan, we were connected to Dreadmaul and had players from both servers in the same guild.
Thanks for the reminder here cause I had forgotten to keep up to date with the realm connections. Given all the things I’ve been reading about characters/gold disappearing, I’ll remember to keep my screenshots in order before reset rolls out.
Personally, IDK how to feel about this. I joined low pop servers because I wanted to able to do stuff in peace. This, however, is just annoying.
Exactly, not everyone wants to be on a high population server, not everyone likes the hussle and bussle of trade chat, not everyone wants to raid in mythic and needs more players to recruit.
Sometimes Blizzard forgets that players choose something for a reason and forcing them to move is not always the best option.
It will blow, bad, since Frostmourne are very big on PVP and WM and you will end up getting wrecked sideways. Get used to not playing on WM in SL, especially at the start when everyone is in the same area.
With CRZ nobody has been safe in the world so I’m not sure what you guys are talking about.
No it’s not. The people getting connected with Frostmourne don’t have to deal with queue times when SL drops because they’re still logging in from their server and they get to keep their name.
They’re not doing a merge. A server merge is when they combine two or more servers together to make one super server. Everyone logs in from the same portal and everyone shares the naming pool.
He did say all this so to claim that he has no idea how server merges work, or connections for that matter, just because he disagreed with you is borderline doltish at this point.
The only thing “doltish” going on here is insisting a merge is the same thing as a connection. You even quoted where he said “it’s technically a merge!” then proceeds to describe a connection.
I’m still not seeing the problem. You mentioned:
Which makes absolutely no sense with CRZ. The only people that have low pop open worlds is RP servers.
I have a ton of other alts that I also play so.
You said it best here:
