Hello! With the ending of the Treasure Goblin event yesterday, it appears that sharding/phasing hasn’t automatically been shut off on RP servers.
Would it be possible to nudge a server person and ask them to re-enable the custom ruleset for RP servers that shuts off sharding/phasing in Stormwind and Orgrimmar?
And please, folks, before there’s peanut gallery-ing about the Bug Report forum and General Discussion being a more appropriate venue to address the issue, we know that the forum SFAs don’t handle this, and that it’s not their job to “pass the message along” to the right group. But past experience with the issue says that because it’s such a custom, manual process, relying on the kindness of people inside Blizzard who are aware of how it goes and are able to get internal people up to speed about it is the most effective method to have action on it as opposed to coming in hot and rabbling about it in forums where no one understands the problem.
We just want to be able to nerd at the nerd populations of our servers in the city again, and we need to all be in the same phase to do that
^ This. It is really quite frustrating when I’m trying to organize events that take place in Stormwind or do recruitment there with the sharding on. While I understand why the sharding was turned on, it’d be very nice if it could be turned off relatively soon.
Bumping for visibility and agreement! Sharding is disruptive to the way us roleplayers choose to play the game - akin to restricting mythic+ and raid groups back down to server and faction only. You only see a tiny fraction of the people you could potentially be playing with. We’ve endured it for three weeks, counting the hours until the end of the Greedy Emissary event. Please disable sharding on Moon Guard and other RP servers!
There’s a lot of people on Moonguard who sub solely to RP with other people and this disrupts that. They’re paying 15 bucks a month like the rest of us, please end the sharding!
Just another reason why RP realms should not have sharding/layering; even when these events end, particular realms are forgotten and continue to be sharded.
Blizz, you wouldn’t force events to be done in Warmode only so the PVPers on the Warmode shard get upset would you? So why force sharding on ENTIRE RP servers!
Please disable sharding already. It was terrible the whole event, and needs to be turned off already. City is basically dead thanks to this terrible decision.
The sharding disrupts the communities we’ve built, which is why it’s usually kept off for us. One of the most beautiful things about the populated RP servers is seeing the capital cities alive with players!
