I agree 100%. Open a new server and tell everyone on X, Y, and Z servers they’re opening transfers for 1 day then allowing people to make new ones there as well. That would likely help the issue, might not solve it completely as we likely need many more servers to not get hit with queues.

Layering will be removed. They have actually shown they care about these matters. They are not going to let you stay on your meme server without ridiculous queues. Reroll, take a transfer (if they offer) or rot in queue.
my meme server? lol.
did you just name a server fart? pls take us seriously
Skimming through forums and having a conversation doesn’t mean I care, like the majority I won’t remember this convo after a few minutes let alone the player that dies to fire ingame. Probably won’t even remember your name on here either.
Because people actually have a reason to leave right now, if you wait until there are no more ques people won’t want to leave their high pop server anymore because ‘LOW POP DED SERVER’. You do it while they are willing.
Excellent! Thanks for the news and for giving us advance notice. Good realm names too. Hope this eases the queues a bit.
I/We appreciate this, but it does not adress a common problem, and one I am currently quite devastated by.
I rolled Herod not knowing much about the popularity of this server. I took off work tue and wed to play. Zero Q times because I was getting on 7-7:30 am.
Now that I am back to work, I literally cannot play. You have said to me, and thousands of other people “you work for a living…so suck it dry!!” Transfers are desperately needed, like, yesterday. I am paying for a game that I cannot play and the only current solution is to start completely over?
Come on guys, stop punishing the working class.

You’re on Shazzrah, right? The one that was for sure going to be a complete disaster, known in advance, and now people are surprisedpikachu.jpg when the obvious happened?

Then they need to find a better server transfer procedure than to just open the flood gates on the remaining servers. Which was my point from the beginning, letting all the full server players transfer on the rest of the servers is a bad idea this early in the game’s lifespan and would just move the problem.

you’ve said this exact thing in different ways at least a dozen times. hopefully it’s understood this time.

I’m more sympathetic to your plight then, but increasing capacity is the worst and knee-jerk response. I would support transfers, but not cap increases. That’s a guaranteed way to completely derail the plan. There are remedies , some self-correcting, that don’t involve abandoning the removal of layering.

I’m glad they’re giving us slightly more notice before they open up new realms, so players have more time to coordinate plans with their friends/guildies.
And I told you thats not how it works. They close the gate at a certain number.
haha indeed, one can only hope.
it would be just like retail then right if there were still layering and people would need to be grouped to see each other? doesn’t seem to be what all of the #nochanges people have been saying they want for ages. funny how some queue waiting changes things.
Ok lets say they close the gate at a certain point. You’re telling me that no one would come here and like you, complain that Blizzard is breaking their guild and friendships apart? Or are you suggesting that BLizzard actually do this on a case by case basis, asking everyone who they want to transfer with them before the gates are closed?
I already hate the layering, but tolerate it because I know that it’s temporary and the lesser of two evils. However, the talk about increasing caps abandons the idea that it’s temporary and I will be rethinking p-servers like others if that’s the case.
Well, the issue wouldnt exist if blizzard had LOCKED servers instead of leaving them open. They of course, think after guilds have planned to move 90+ members to a server to play on together that releasing new servers after people hit 20 is a good idea.
