Yeah, total speculation on my part and my lens is just what I have lived through in my work life. I’m not happy about it. Trust me. Was just a thought on why a more long-term solution wasn’t being pursued or communicated. I’m in this boat with you, for better or worse. I love playing this game and I hope the server queue disappointment dissipates quickly.

a solution would be a system that automatically log out characters level 5 or lower from cities after few minutes.

Hey what gives, all the notices said 12 noon pacific, here it is 3 hours before that time and free transfers just disappeared from my UI literally mid-transfer, I have to get my warrior off of Benediction and back to Sulfuras, don’t shut off the free move early sheesh
Oh, thats bad.
Keep transfer to Sulfuras up, otherwise you will kill it.
Should it get queues like big one you close it, not before please!
the reasoning to close it early is to NOT let the server have a queue.
So with the announcement that you’re closing transfers to sulfurras and that the server was close to 50/50 last night, my friends jumped ship this morning without warning.
I recently boosted a priest on Grobb, which is now ineligible for transfering to sulfuras.
I understand that the intentions of not breaking up friend groups is good, but is there something that can be done about this sorta thing? I couldn’t have anticipated this reaction and now I’m stuck on a server that my friends aren’t even on anymore with a character I really wanted to play. I already gave you $50, please don’t make me spend another $25.
Please reconsider the last minute/no warning closing of transfer option. Or at the very least dont lock the free transfer options(Eranikus). There are groups of people that have new friends and returning players that want to join but can’t because the only option is locked to them. Old Blanchy is out of the question because for one it’s a normal server and also it’s named “Old Blanchy” who wants to be on a server named after a lame horse.
Now do Skyfury!
The servers are locked and we can’t access character transfer (or it tries to charge for each character still) and unable to access our characters to delete mail or arena teams to be eligible etc.
For those of us that moved to Faerlina in the prepatch… we fully understood the ramifications of facing a queue on launch and the weeks leading up to release. Why are we locking transfers and character creation for inbound players who don’t mind staying on a full and capped mega server?
If you have personal obligations and can’t wait in line to get on a full server - it’s YOUR obligation to use the free migration or pay to move somewhere else. Nobody with guild ties on any of the 3 megaservers will leave and the only people who benefit long term are the groups who stay anyways because they desire the highest pop realms.
Lastly, the fact that we have players who want to join a guild and are now hardstuck from coming to Faerlina is a slap across the face. Nobody wants to play on a medium pop server 4 months down the road post-launch. It should ultimately be up to the player if they want to sit in a queue or login with no barriers to enjoy the game.

There are still zero meaningful solutions for players/alts on the dead side of “Full” realms like Whitemane Alliance. Will we get a response before it’s too late??
Thats exacly what i’m saying.
A big chunk of people will leave 2-3 weeks into the launch and then it will start to dwindle, you SHOULD start at higher player count (A queue of 200~ ins’t bad) because, unlike when it was release originaly, player base will not increase along the way.
So yes, you must some sort of “overcrowd” those realms or there will soon be doomsayers draggin people back to Faerlina/Benediction.
And yes, i’m one of those who transfered from Faerlina to Sulfuras and i trully don’t want it to die.
Can we restrict this guys forum posting for now? All he has been doing is causing more tension and fight. His takes are dog and he just seems like hes here to troll more so than be constructive.
Have you considered committing to making all server transfers free in the future, and refunding paid transfers for the past 6 months or so (the period when a large chunk of transfers to megaservers happened) or offering a few months of free game time as compensation? Thousands of people paid to transfer to these servers because their experience on smaller servers was not good. Now you want them to transfer off with no consideration for money they already spent, and the possibility of having to spend it again down the road if the lower pop server starts to decline.

Cannot transfer because the AH is closed to take down auctions but you’re closing transfers soon!? Please extend because you’re griefing plenty of players trying to make this hasty decision
How about free transfers off of PAGLE which is stupid overpopulated and unbalanced . let me take my toons to the low populaton server the i crated a new toon on and leveled. allow free transfer off pagle to Ashkandi.
What are you doing to ensure that this remains a balanced server? The entire reason that I joined Grobbulus was due to it being the only populated server with relative balance. Benediction and Faerlina are essentially PVE servers.
Can we get some sort of assurance that a faction will lock at 55% (example) until more of the opposite faction join?
I don’t want to be on a populated server that is dead on one side. I want world PvP.
I think that having assurance that the server will be properly managed will entice a large number of people to make the leap.
Without that I see no reason to do so seeing as we can plan around the queue.
Hes mentally ill. Hes got 50+ posts on everyone of these threads.
I would hope that once a large portion of people leave these servers they can lock the dominant faction and only allow the opposing faction to transfer in/be created.
