Time to start merging realms? Playerbase seems to have taken a big hit

The issue is that you outleveled majority of the player base, and the people that are your level are fellow rush to raid players. Your just not going to get a helpfull player base from that pool.

the mid level areas are full right now, with people being forced to group or you have no chance of tagging the mobs you need to kill because of so many people…

Netherwind is good. I think it’s mostly because there’s still not many 60s.

People in this thread repeatedly point to lower queues as proof classic numbers are down are delusional. Did you not know they’ve had server transfers open forever on your realm? Any idea why that would lower your queue? Hm? Lol

There are posts like this every day. People asking for merged servers when they haven’t even removed layering yet.

Go back to private servers with your dead server meme.

Definately not the case on my server. Im 49 and cant quest in Hinterlands due to wall to wall people everywhere.

Either not enough people your level or most the server has you on ignore for some type of nefarious behavoir.

I didn’t race to 60.

ok so, you’re describing sharding which is per zone and it actually 100 times better then layering. Still bad for a realms culture.

you mean DM.

Its called layering, all realms are high/full

Really, this comes down to numerous people who were racing to 60 burning out or completing what they wanted in the first month. Some are not paying for more game time because what they want next isn’t out yet - BGs (next phase) or Dire Maul or AQ.

No, it’s definitely not “realm merge” time. Spend a little time in just about any leveling zone. Heck STV is hard to quest in with so many people killing panthers, tigers, raptors, and trolls constantly. It only quiets down around 2 am server time. (Thankfully that’s 11 pm for me, so I get a few blessedly calm hours to quest.)

It’s because majority of players aren’t at this stage yet. You’re still moreso on the front end of the leveling pack.

I’m on Mankrik and i’m starting to wish my realm wasn’t so popular. During the early afternoon to late evening, it’s impossible to gather ore and herbs.

As much as I dislike layering, it would be pants on head to disable it right now until tourist finally stop playing.

Plus, Blizzard has that data. We don’t. Im sure they are watching these numbers like a hawk, too.

They probably aren’t relying on anecdote from players.

Most people are not 60 in just five weeks

Maybe the problem is actually the majority of players aren’t 60 yet lol

Lol. You’re at an awkward level range. Too slow for the zoomers. Yoo fast for the casual players.

He’s just trolling with all of it.

Has more to do with your level and the zone. The fast burn people are already at 60 doing their end game stuff, the slowpokes are still 40 and under. And EPL is never a popular zone.

Things are still busy - it’s just not overflowing anymore with waves of people speed leveling
