Sharding on rp servers.
When discussing classic in 2017 they said no sharding.
This is the issue people have a hard time coping with. For instance the RP server controversy. They never said “No sharding ever on RP realms”, they said “Sharding is turned off by default, unless there is a holiday or player driven event”. And people like to use this ‘example’ as them lying.
Seeing as i was seeing sharding during normal day to day operations on an rp server…
Oh and remember in 2017 when they said no sharding in classic and now were likely getting it for launch?
I don’t know how many times this has to be proven to you until you accept it. They never said no sharding ever on RP realms. They said it is turned off by default, UNLESS there is a holiday or player driven event then they will turn it on. You may not like it, but they didn’t lie about it.
This could be interpreted in many different ways. When they were talking about no sharding or CRZ they weren’t talking about the launch but as a design philosophy for the game. They also said in that interview that they will NOT replicate the launch experience and do whatever they need to in order to make it smooth.
That’s not them lying. That’s you not comprehending.

You’re gunna have to show proof of this otherwise it’s nonsense =(
This was when they were discussing design philosophies for the game as a whole. As in sharding won’t be apart of the games philosophy. A launch period is an exception they obviously made. Once again, that’s not them lying. This is like blizzard saying “We will not be opening up new servers for classic WoW” and then you going and saying “THEY OPENED UP SERVER FOR LAUNCH SO THEY ARE LYING”.

So why do i see sharding during normal day to day operations on rp realm?
Who is to say they don’t stretch and say that aq is during the launch window?
Or that since most holiday events take place in starter zones it shouldn’t be an issue?

Retail has CRZ, your point is moot.
But he isn’t talking about server merges.
Server merges aren’t even necessary like sharding isn’t necesarry.
That would obviously be a lie, don’t play dumb. Well… I hope you’re playing dumb…
Once again you’re gunna have to show me proof my friend. Either way they could argue their way out of it and say there was a player driven event nearby. Yeah it sucks but that’s how they worded it. They straight up said for classic “ONLY FOR LAUNCH” so there is no talking around that one.
Gunna have to use english my friend if you want to get your point across.
Are you a tourist denier?
??
Do you like attacking people.
Except crz would keep the resources per server the same. Since its still the same number of servers.
Sharding literally generates extra resources.
By using sharding you are effectively making a copy of an area.
That means more mobs.
That means more potential skins, money, and cloth in the game.
That means more resources

Which is a moot point considering it is only for launch. Unless you are really going to argue that because there may be 5 hoggers on one server that it’s going to do damage.
Not as much as you like pretending to be attacked.
Asking a question, a valid question, is not an attack in any way.
If you believe there will be no need for mergers then you must not think there will be a large population shift due to tourists.
Yeah no. I have no faith. Even you just said they could say a player driven event was going on and poof reason to shard.
You’ve also excused them using sharding in classic by saying it helps prevent a bad launch window.
When you have to use disclaimers and twist that much…

No, you can’t possibly know if sharding creates more resources. Retail is your old source an you have no method of tracking when you crz. Where you claim sharding is fabricating more resources is actually crz
My whole goal is to ensure blizzard stays true to their word and doesn’t bend it any further.
You may excuse it because you claim possible player events or preventing a repeat of launch but i have little trust because of stuff like that.
I will be fine with sharding up to completion of elwynn forest and durotar and similar zones.
But nothing beyond that, for any reason what so ever
Play the victim all you want. You don’t want to answer the question because it’s illustrates the truth.
What happens when I’m playing on moon guard andmy friend and i are in the same zone but different shard, surrounded by only moon guarders. Which server is generating those resources?
Umm so when classic goes live
And we use sharding to prevent a launch disaster is their going to be only one mob per shard or is it going to fully recreate elwynn?
