The real problem is Im on skyfury horde and have zero intention of starting over. But theres cognitive dissonance because if in 2 months all the horde are gone, I will have wasted 2 months of potential time in leveling up on the newer server.
I think people leaving will be faster than that over the next week I would expect anyone who is going to angerforge will have moved as if they move now they could reach 70
Probably right. In my case, I only have so many weeks of WoWing 6+ hours a day before I gotta pare it back some and be a more reasonable and present husband. So I dont have the luxury of leveling numerous characters to 70 in the next month or two.
Skyfury is fine dude, today Asmon left to Anger and blind too.
That’s two of the biggest influx of ally players leaving.
It means the server will end up to a close 50/50 pop now.
They should have just increased the capacity, worrying about balance before wrath proper launches and they know who was just clear killing time pre launch.
Shoulda woulda coulda. I agree with what youre saying but that ship sailed years ago. According to what people are saying, increasing server capacity would take a considerable amount of time to make happen. And thats not considering and third degree game changing consequences of creating servers that could host an incredible amount of players, like 50-100K for example.
Man lets not get bogged down in “what is or isnt possible”. Neither one of us is qualified to say. And its a moot point anyways because it’s not happening at WoW regardless of how wrong either of us are. What Blizz does going forward is infinitely more interesting.
I mean if it was possible dont you think FF14 would have a bigger cap? I literally had to create my character at 3am because the servers are locked to character creation during queues and there is pretty much always a login queue at reasonable times.
People like playing on full servers and so even if someone could work out how to get 50k concurrent you would have queues of another 30-40k trying to get in.
As I recall FF14 handles servers differently no? Cant you move around servers to play with friends? Also I vaguely remember that their queues came with an official statement that they werent prepared because of an explosion in their playermembers and a COVID related chip shortage. Also players got a month on the house as a massive apology from the company.
Again its apples and oranges, because if we are gonna talk about modern FF14 then we may as well also talk about WoW retail using cross servers to address this issue.
Its interesting to consider, but only insofar as to say that Blizz was unprepared for the nth time after years of knowing that they should be paying attention to servers.
I will say you dont have to be a chef to know that the food tastes like crap. Blizz should have anticipated this issue and came prepared, even if only to save face. Blizz’s last few games were not received well, and WotLK was an alley-oop ready to be dunked.
