You know… one negative of a move to a new realm would be the name you have might be already taken there (so you would lose your name).
I re-sub’d WoW 1 week before the classic stress test which allowed me to reserve 3 names. I’m sure some of you guys requesting moves probably have some pretty sweet names.
I actually made characters on 2 realms, when one is showing a queue - i try the other, if they are both queues, i’d probably make a new character on a low pop realm. If you think about it, waiting in queue for 1 hour+ to load your level 10 or under character is sort of silly, you can level to 10 easy in 1 hour on a low populated realm.
Just something to think about when demanding character moves. My guild is thinking of moving to a different realm since Grob is now super packed, granted I’m level 20 with 150 cooking and 150 fishing (just dinged to 20 before i went to bed). But if my guild decides to move, I’ll just keep my hunter here and re-roll another toon, knowing someday this server probably wont have queue times.
