This. This. and This.
How about unlocking the realms we already have characters on!?
RIP Skyfury Horde.
Blizz pleaseā¦why
This is actually a great point.
So are concerns about faction balance.
If fresh ends up failing in 6 months things when the tourist types have left like this can be pointed back to. Iāve always wanted fresh to succeed ālong termā.
This was a huge mistakeā¦ Horde on Skyfury will be nonexistent now, as Iām sure a large majority will look to escape from the large Alliance population/presence that these big-time streamers have created.
How about only letting Alliance transfer off? since they are the majority faction. I would rather not see a mass exodus of my Horde brethren
Same. We always knew that in terms of economy, levels, professions, et al, that Fresh realms would catch up to all the others.
Not having transfers for the first 90 days, and potentially not at all, if realm population was healthy was literally the main appeal when looking long-term. This is why I feel like my choice to play on a fresh start realm has been completely invalidated. I was already disappointed when they added Angerforge, especially after having just noted what sort of impact itās likely to haveā¦ but server transfers? I probably shouldnāt be, but Iām actually surprised they would do such a thing.
but what about my imaginary community that would ninja loot linen cloth if you gave them the chance
I got a pretty good feeling they are closing monitoring the faction split and will adjust the free xfers as needed
Angerforge IS the new server. A 3rd server wonāt work for longevity. This sucks for those who rerolled or rolled late, sureā¦ but all this will realistically do is have some 70s on your server 3 or 4 days earlier than it was going to be.
If anything, the transfers should have been open to angerforge when the server was first put up.
Yes! Thank you! Angerforge mad lads letās go
Based on what Blizz has done the last two weeks, I highly doubt it.
RIP fresh I guess. It was good whole it lasted. This is absolutely gonna kill the servers.
What a slap in the face to everyone who trusted Blizzard and rerolled on Angerforge. You truly hate us, do not care about your players and will not stick to your word. Everything you say is a lie and changes the next day. I truly hate this company. It feels intentional.
That would be amazing if true. You know how we could make sure that is happening? They could SAY that in their post instead of just saying they are opening transfers. 10 minutes after this post my GM has a poll up to see if the guild should transfer off the realm. Iām not following them it was just annoying that it was asked.
So you say no transfers for 90 days then open them up in 3 days? You completely ruined the fresh server Angerforge nowā¦ We had a good split population.
The people at Blizz are just so dumb. Who makes these decisions?
Fresh means fresh. . . Pathetic decision.
People rolled on Angerforge because they didnāt want queues AND they wanted a FRESH start from people who already had two weeks head startā¦
Blizzard should of stuck tot here guns. The queās were starting to get less crazy on skyfury. It was going to start Adv 7k instead of the 13k on weekdays, and start to lower from there. Now this puts both servers at risk, sucks to Skyfury is pretty fun. I donāt know why blizzard would lock a Fresh realm, and or had no hope for Fresh. Even in there Community Council meeting they say the ques are worse on other servers. (Iāve yet to see a 15k on anything but once on Grob?)
While itās true Fresh will suffer loses on WOTLK release itās better to have a full server (But again why lock it? I know people who still want to make toons here, people who havenāt touched wow in over 6-10 years.) Itās fair to say that it would have been okay with WOTLK launch even with the drop off. Now Blizzard putās the server at Risk, and only time can tell.
Locked servers are rough new blood is needed for the horde to survive due to Ally streamers who all dislike Fresh and said it would fail / Didnāt want it, now theyāre here and messing up Faction balance, and horde can not make new toons.
You literally promised us a fresh realm experience for a minimum of 90days, wrath hasnāt even launched and youāve already broken that promise. This is literally the worst possible thing you could do, you opened a specific type of realm to appeal to a certain demographic within your player base and then destroyed it within 3 weeks. Congratulations youāre officially the best gaming company at destroying yourself. Unbelievable ignorant.
Came back thinking i would toy around before the release. I found this āfreshā server and thought that would be would be fun, and now just taking transfers from another serverā¦ thanks ruined the moment. It is like going out to eat and getting a maggot placed center plate.
