What is your problem with alts?
Having a forum alt is actually good thinking. For at least 2 reasons:
And yes, I am a forum alt. My main plays HC Era in the EU servers 
the forums are empty. let the alts request anything that they want.
so what
I think they mean using several different alt characters to create multiple threads in order to make it appear as though a lot of people when TBC when, in fact, it is only a few.
To be clear, I’m not saying I agree with that (quite the opposite, really), but I do believe that was the intention.
On a separate, but related, note… I tend to ignore when people get hung up on the character I post on. It’s got nothing to do with the ideas I want to express any such “you can’t have an opinion posting on a retail character” usually indicates the last dying spasm of a weak argument
This is just the character I use on the forums. I’ve been active on these forums since the very beginning and I’ve only maybe changed a handful of times. I used to be a Dwarf Shaman and I kinda missed him, but I tried a Monk during Legion and just really identified with the class at the time so I switched and stuck with it.
This thread is now about the history of your forum avatar… let’s see if we can band together for an epic derail! 
Ahh, what is generally known as sock-puppeteering.
Well, I thouth he was one of those getting hung up on which version you play, and if you have enough kills, parses … whatever to be “allowed” to have a meaning. I also agree taht tihis have no bearing. The opinin counts, not the character.
Derailing even more - this is my only US character, but I have for in excesso f 50 EU ones. Is he then an alt or a main?
It’s not voicing support it’s the same 5 people sock puppeting the issue. Nice try tho.
Harassed in game cuz of forums. Sure. As usual a one in a million occurance is what you use to justify your opinions…
I cannot tell if it is a one in a million occurrence, neither can you. And if we cannot here act from our own experiences …
And now I wonder … are you and Psychachi the same person? Because how else can you answer my question to him about his problems with alts ?
Seems you were right … that is if Tyrmaull and Psychachi are actually one and the same. Hence doing the very thing (sockpupetteering) they accuse others of.
Except I’m not whoever that is. Nice try. Tyrmaull manafiennd puupshooter corruptionn my chars have a nice day
Then how do you know what he meant by alts?
Or is this
just your opinion and not an answer to my question at all?
No try, genuine wonderment why Tyrmaull answers questions posed to Psychachi.
I dunno, my view goes both ways. It doesn’t matter to me if they are or they aren’t because…
… is just as off base as the assumption that Psychachi made.
It’s maybe easy to assume it’s just an alt of the same person when you don’t agree with the message I guess. I know what you mean, sometimes it does actually sound like the same person, but nonsense is nonsense no matter what forum avatar is behind it 
Oh cool Haha forum main, at least!
Out of curiosity, what brings you to post over here instead of being involved in the EU forum community? I’m more curious about the differences in the communities or maybe forum activities and such, you know?
I made this Forum character in July 2022, to fight for the European RP servers when they were threatening to close them all down - also known as the great consolidation chaos of '22. The reason was that EU forums seldom got read by any Blue ones, so I suffered through 10 terrible levels of Island Expedition to post for our cause here, with only partial success - we now have a RP server, even I would claim was almost dead. as the number of players have not exceeded 50 for a long, long time.
Btw, it’s free for EU players to play US retail, and I suppose the opposite to be true as well. To play Classic here, I’d have to pay a second account, so I don’t. … It also actually seems more play HC in EU than here, at least we have two populated realms with one having 2 layers most of the time.
I stayed because of more happening, more and mostly more sensible forum users - bad eggs exist everywhere - and more Blue answers. Also here’s bug report threads and much more here than EU side. I read there, but only rarely comment - also on a forum alt there, actually.
I remember those days…
People generally project their own behavior onto others. You were probably onto something.
I agree. There seems to be legitimate support for a TBC server and these are not alts. If they are so worried about alts, Blizzard can see that anyway. It just seems strange to me that someone would want to block a legitimate request, such as throwing up a TBC server.
Blizzard did use resources to start HC servers. As you said, Blizzard only needs to flip on a switch (basically) for a TBC server. Go for it Blizzard. Hook us up.
You’re 100% right, but in before “That’s why you aren’t getting TBC servers lulz!” 
Some folks just don’t want others to be happy I guess. I think part of it is the perception that there will be resource contention, both in terms of hardware availability and people availability.
For the former, this is kind of irrelevant because if all those people played one of the existing versions, there would be room for them. So what does it matter what version they play, the hardware capacity is already there. Plus we live in a world where server architecture is virtualized and distributed. I know Blizzard has stated that they’ve had issues scaling classic, but not only have I think they solved that with SoD, this is just another process entirely running on a server.
For the latter, I touched on this above. It’s also irrelevant because the vast majority of those people just aren’t playing anyway. It’s nonsense to think you can hold someone hostage, forcing them to play what you want because they just don’t have any other option. More likely they’ll just go find something else to do with their time and money.
So there’s just no reason at all to not want people to have TBC or WotLK servers, even if you don’t intend to play on them (which I do not). It costs me nothing to support you fine folks.
So…
While you say you want TBC and Wrath Era servers, do you really want the fracturing of the playerbase even further that will come with that? Will it retain or bring in enough players that all 5 versions of the game would have a sustainable, healthy population? Or would one (or more) of those subdivisions end up a ghost town, where there aren’t enough people?
You are assuming that these players will be pulled away from other versions. This is not a fully correct assumption.
Most of these players will be coming from:
There will be a small few that come to a TBC server from other versions because TBC is what they like best. Would you begrudge these players their full enjoyment of a version they prefer and love?
Thank you!
I’m not sure about the size of those groups, or how many this will attract back.
But for my point: Imagine the one you want to play most (whichever that may be) becomes the ghost town expansion, without enough players to maintain a healthy population for doing content, or a healthy economy. Would you still play it?
I probably would still play it, yes. But to your other point, I don’t want to block other people from having what they want for my own selfish desires.
Most of us are looking out for our own self interest here, you and me both. I just don’t want to force players into a version they can “just tolerate” so I can be happy. Allow for the choices to be there and let the chips fall where they may. As I said, if a TBC server became a ghost town, I would still be happy as a pig in the mud to be playing the content I love the best. Be happy that you have what you can already enjoy. In any case, I am sure there would be a group of players that I could hook up with to do certain content, even on a low population TBC server.
No. It is of course way better that people stop playing (or dissipate to Pservers) instead of having a not quite as populated as you would like server for the version they like (May contain a huge load of irony).
And for your next question
Yes. I still sometimes play at the EU Era RP server. Population always below 50. I do not play there all the time (HC is my fave for the moment), but if it was the only Era server, I would.
My interests fluctuate. Right now I am a bit burned out after levelling a character to 60 (YAY me) in HC. I would love to start a Draenei Pally in BC, and level slowly through the starting areas there, but as I can’t, I just wait until my likings again turn to an existing expansion (And no, I never play Retail)
Absolutely. As a mainly solo player, it doesn’t really matter how many other players are on for me to enjoy my time in the game.
