So you are once again looking down on the people who followed the advice of the game developers? You realize how much of prick you sound like right?
Everyone knew that transferring off a mega would allow you the chance to play right away with the big risk that your destination server would not be viable long-term.
Some players made the decision to move. They got to play right away and now some are in the situation where their destination servers are not as populated as they would like it to be.
Oh well!
The solution is definitely not to re-open megas to recreate queues and further depopulate other realms. Transfer to biggest non-locked realm if you really need more players to play with.
Or they could allow us to play cross realm or hear me out, THEY CAN MERGE SOME SERVERS THEMSELVES OR CREATE SERVER GROUPS AND DO SOME WORK INSTEAD OF EXPECTING THE PLAYERS TO FIX THEIR ISSUES OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN…
Also want to point out that you are saying Blizzard condemned everyone to death by making them do the things that made their life easier. With a greater chance of losing subs? Sounds like a bad business model.
I do not know how many times I can say that this is not a player issue, it will always be the issue of the people managing the game. In no way is this the players faults.
Reread my post:
all other things being left as they are, what does Xrealm do to emphasize small realms OVER megas?
It means that no matter what kind of server you are on you can find people to play with…do I need to explain with pictures for you to understand? Meaning that other than people doing crafting your whole experience can be based 0 off what server you are on.
It also means you can go to whatever server you want and have the same grouping experience. People only go to Mega servers because it has the biggest player pool to group with… literally no other reason.
Whatever you are smoking pass it along brother.
DF just launched pulling players away. Some players are likely to return by January. They don’t need to make knee-jerk decisions to placate whiners that think a populated server is “dead”.
Why don’t you give us some context? What server did you transfer from and what struggling server did you go to and why are you hiding behind an alt to make these emotional declarations lol?
Stoyles from Stallagg -->Bene–>Faerlina–> Eranikus
I left faerlina because i had issues getting dc’d while walking my dog for 10 minutes while i tried my best to keep on remote desktop going on my phone. My friends couldn’t get online to play on Faerlina. Every other server before Faerlina I had to leave or just play with the 5 other people left. If Blizzard did any population control at all then mega servers wouldn’t even exist but they just got greedy and wanted xfer money.
You can go to the Eranikus dying thread where all the alliance are leaving and even last night there were so many raids/ guild looking for fills for their raids. The fact that Blizzard couldn’t wait until after Ulduar to release DF means they have made their players choose what world to be apart just as they did in Phase 2 of TBC with SOM or like they did with Black temple/Hyjal and Shadowlands.
The fact of the matter is that they have provided next to 0 support on wotlk since DF release and then on top of that even smaller servers having dal lagging out on Tuesdays because they stopped layering the main cities on every wotlk server. Check the EU forums its spammed with people complaining about their server performing like trash.
Many of us have 2-3 subs since vanilla classic release and therefore supported the company more then the retail andies. So yeah as a long standing client supporting this trash company we want better playing environments in the year 2022 from a billion dollar company.
So long story short they risk losing their long term clients over the people who will show up for 2 months in DF and bounce. I mean at the end of the day its clear Blizzard doesn’t care and I hope wow dies in both versions of the game because of their decisions that they continue to make.

Wait, so Eranikus has over 13,000 players (5,000 on Alliance) and you players think that’s not good enough so the lower faction is transferring off?
Good lord.
That is totally a player created problem and frankly, it’s quite ridiculous how players just follow the herd to destroy servers.
I really hope Blizzard keeps our strong servers locked for good. Having transfer locusts that will transfer in and off at the drop of a hat are definitely not welcome.

You failed to actually answer my question and instead chose a stance of dumbfounded incredulousness. I’ll elaborate: Xrealm dungeon grouping does NOTHING to assist low pop realm players form guilds, raids, trading either in-person or over the AH, or access player proffession services like enchanting. It makes dungeon grouping as easy as it would be on a megaserver, that’s it.
So now that both small and megaservers have an ‘equal footing’ on dungeon group formation, what exactly does xrealm do to motivate players to choose the small pop realm over the megaserver?

Do I look like an alliance player to you? I am just telling you that at this point in the game on horde side you have very little action in LFG.
Transfer locusts, one would assume you would be speaking about me and the other 500 players from stalagg that jumped to bene and then to faerlina?
“Not welcome”, you act like you own the server. You truly a worthless human if you think just because you are on the forums fighting with the people who have concerns that you are better than them.
I am sorry I enjoyed playing the game for the first few weeks because me and my friends could never got online together in the “play with your friends expansion”.
There are other big guilds such as “Spaceforce” not sure if you have heard of them before… you know tetsu and them. Well they are also stuck on the server because they didnt want to risk losing world first races on a server that could dc one of their raiders and ruin everything for them.
I should redirect your comments to them and see how popular you get. You truly are trash if you think you are better than anyone else because you did not help with ques but instead sit on the forums trashing people about an issue you don’t even have.
You know what, I will admit guilds wouldn’t flourish on small servers per say. But that doesn’t mean that servers wouldn’t be as unbalanced if they offered more cross server play in general.
The reason people went to Mega servers was over finding groups, even early in tbc when people farmed heroics. These mega servers did not exist in vanilla.
The reason they will never offer cross server is because they don’t want to lose out on more transfer money by self creating an issue while also self providing a solution that benefits them.
for the Ulduar queue to die down.
you got greedy and you betrayed your guild and server. for that, you have earned your punishment!
The imbalance is yet again the problem. If they had stopped the flow of Horde to Eranikus and Sulfuras earlier before they got 65% of the population, we could have seen two well balanced servers, which is one of the best long term server health indicators.
They only needed to force two more weeks of Alliance transfers from Bene with queues at launch, but now it will be a marvel if alliance can hold on as the well outnumbered faction in a slow part of the game. You can’t merge sulf and Eranikus now because the server would be massive and equal or greater in size to the megas, which Blizzard apparently wants to do away with. Cross server arena queues would be very helpful for this predicament but don’t hold your breath.
Also, the idea that there will be significant Ulduar queues is pure cope. They will go away in half the time that launch queues took, which was already extremely short.
5,000 alliance to 10,000 horde is not the average wow players idea of a good server. Blizzard should know that after the TBC server debacle and they are to blame for not influencing movement with that in mind.

He’s a Horde player and apparently, 10,000 Horde players isn’t adequate for him to get groups going.
Apparently, having 10,000 players on your faction constitutes a “dead server”.
Honestly ridiculous.
Hey, I tried to warn people not to take the transfer five posts into Blizzard’s thread initially offering transfers:
I turned out to be right again. I bet you feel sorry that you took that transfer, huh? 
op is posting on a horde retail character but is talking about transferring from Benediction which means theres a 99.9% he’s alliance
I was responding to this guy:
Even for Alliance players, 5,000 players is more than sufficient and is the tiny bit of WPvP when everyone is on flying mounts really a factor?
Leaving a server like Eranikus is just silly but players have been destroying servers throughout with their excessive server hopping.
While I’m not arguing your point, simple fact is, like it or not, they aren’t gonna be opening the servers for a LONG while. I think they’ve been in the business long enough to know that players will unsub when they are unhappy. They are well aware these servers are likely gonna die off and that they’ll have to do another server consolidation. They have already let plenty of servers die off in the past, and are very much aware in doing so that they’re likely going to lose several thousand in subs. I think they have already dementated multiple times that they don’t care if servers die.
