You really should enable migration to ANY server, stop picking these trash tier servers to xfer to and people might ACTUALLY use them.

Blizz is playing the long con by giving us free xfers now only to have us all stuck in dead realms later and have to pay to xfer back. I SEE YOU >:(

Surely these people will want to leave their populated servers for dead ones!

Genius!

Can you just allow more layers like you did in the past?

Even with layers theres a limit to how many people can be on a server. We saw that with firemaw, and how laggy the AH is on the megaservers atm.

What a bad solution to a problem that can be solved by just having Mega servers with a better server infrastructure… you know, like most games do now. Also the most stpid thing about this is that in order to transfer I need to delete auctions and emails that I have and I cannot do it unless I wait 2 hours to log in… This seems like the Apple solution, you created a problem with bad server inf. servers get full, then you give us a bad solution for free (that nobody will grab) or charge us for a solution to a problem you caused.

You guys have done a terrible job with servers throughout all of classic. Absolutely terrible. My guild has already had to pay to transfer twice. The first time we left Skeram because you allowed all the alliance players to transfer off. We paid to transfer to Benediction when the server population was lower and 60% alliance 40% horde. You then allowed unrestricted transfers to continue for alliance. The alliance population ballooned and then you allowed horde to transfer off. We were essentially forced to pay to transfer when we were some of the last remaining horde players with no AH activity and no one to play with outside our guild. We chose to go to faerlina where there were no Alliance (we gave up on the hope that Blizzard cared about two factions in the world), but at least we would have other players and a lively AH. There were never any que issues with Faerlina since we have been here until Pre-patch.

Now there is a que. What options are we suppose to have when we want to play? You provide free transfers now, but our experience has shown that this is most likely just a bait and switch to get us to move to a dead server and pay again to transfer.

What a joke. You guys have done a terrible job with server health. These ques are artificial. There wasnt a que a week ago. You are purposely forcing us to transfer again so that when that server dies we have to pay again.

Will you give us free transfers in 2 months if the server we transfer to dies? This is really pathetic on your part.

Is there any real reason to not have cross-realm stuff enabled beyond “the classic experience?”

Blizzard WTF all of my characters except my fresh pally is stuck on faerlina with a wait time of over 3000 people. Whitemane doesnt even have a queue time that makes zero sense as to why you’d screw that up. unlift this sheit I will pay full price for a transfer to the server of my choice as i thought that was my right to play with my friends as an active sub on not one but two accounts. screw your free transfer but let me go where i want to play and where my other characters are this is restricting so much as i Can’t play from faerlina 3000 people and can’t transfer to whitemane where my guild is, all my alts. Blizzard fix this garbage its not a mega server you gotta bring down the ego abit.

They want you to transfer so that when your destination server dies you have to pay for transfers. $1,000s of dollars in transfer fees for guilds to transfer together.

Yeah transfer to Old Blanchy or Sulfuras so in 3 months when the servers are still dead you can realize you messed up and have to transfer back for actual money.

Read all your replies blizzard DEvs and take a second to actually listen to the players for once its not that hard. This is a dumb idea please undo it so I can actually go play the game with my friends for ffs. !!!

Hey look a solution that does nothing.
No one is going to old blanchy / sulfuras with a 300 pop.

This is entirely your fault as a company for over selling a server by ~3000-10000 accounts past the limit. You need to resolve the issue financially.
