The faction imbalance marches on!

Blizzard has never capped (To my knowledge) a server and stopped people from playing on said server. The closest thing you get is a queue.

YES they have, in Classic. They restricted both new character creation and paid transfers to a number of realms.

@Layers and Character Creation Adjustments on Select Realms

To address the longest queues on some WoW Classic realms, we’ve just implemented layering and character creation restrictions. The following realms are now layered and unavailable for paid character transfers or new players: Arugal Benediction Earthfury Faerlina Fairbanks Herod Pagle Sulfuras Whitemane Additionally, we have also restricted character creation and transfers to the Grobbulus realm.

The main thread with the blue post was edited after the transfers and character creations were turned back on. However new character creations and transfers were turned off on MULTIPLE servers for an extended period. This really helped Classic realms stabilize after there were a lot of realm problems.

This is what was needed this time. This may not have been the intention but it was the result. I am not surprised they aren’t doing it considering they seem to just be considered about money, more with TBCC than with Classic.

I agree that the players are selfish. Some of us wanted to move away from the “You are a number” single player with a lobby CRZ, LFR, layering and warmode soulless experience of Retail. That’s why we came to Classic.
