Swamp of Sorrows (Oceanic) We do not want transfers off our server

The problem as I see it is they’re not proposing each way transfers. Just one way, from Swamp to Jom. That is not a good thing and people are rightly annoyed by the threat it poses to those remaining on the realm (myself and my guild included).

That’s fair, I agree with this, about people being able to pick which server to go to. I have probably a thousand posts about (mostly TBCC) server issues as this has actually been a huge deal to me, where I talk about choice all the time, so I do understand.

Also, I understand where you are all coming from with PVE (Lionheart) to PVP (SoS) but the chance of Blizzard doing this is small because they do not allow this type of transfer on any Classic server type, and there have been MANY MANY requests for PVE to PVP, as recently as today, and not on this thread. So just letting you all know that right now. They’d be more ilkely to do SoS > Lionheart as that’s PVP to PVE and they allow that.

I was the person responsible for ensuring they didn’t successfuly stealth merge tbc oceanic to na bg/arena servers the overwhelming majority over 1700 people

Thank you for linking that, i replied somewhere back then saying that it would make sense to have the battlegroups be separated (so supporting you, one of many).

The problem is that since there have been many posters saying they want the battlegroups remerged. 761 posts in this thread:

So, once again, who should Blizzard listen to?

@Elronmagetwo-arugal

Oceanic has and always will be its own region with its own players we are never going back to being people on a NA realm we have our own servers our own communities and we want to keep it that way.

I am not saying that you all shouldn’t want that community. Not at all.

Note that the server transfer thIng would be a choice, you would not be forced to go to Jom. You could collectively decide to stay on SoS. Blizzard doesn’t tend to close servers and the chance of them closing a SoM server is very low since it’s on a timeline anyway.

Anyway, I’m not trying to start a huge argument and I agree with the idea of player choice for server movement. Hopefully, you can all get what you are after.
