“we believe the time has come to end the concept of a mega-realm.”
puts on tinfoil hat
Activision is trying to splinter mega-realms by throttling servers and player capacity to create artificial lag and queues. The purpose is to frustrate their players into transferring off mega-realms to protect their transfer revenue. If a handful of mega-realms were all that remained then players could safely settle down once and for all. If Activision succeeds in fragmenting mega-realms then the cycle of servers rising and falling and players transferring will continue.
