These 4 servers, Faerlina, Benediction, Grobbulus, and Sulfuras are locked for more than 40 days, the initial hype is already over, and there are no queues on these servers except Benediction on peak hours with short queues. Players who returned to WOTLK classic or just new to WOTLK already established their social connections in Skyfury/Eranikus. By keep locking these 4 servers, you are hurting players who want to invite their friends to these servers. And with the pace of number of the players quitting WOTLK, it is extremely unlikely we will face big queues when Ulduar/ICC releases, many of the players just won’t come back after experienced initial hype of WOTLK, please don’t think too high of this game, and keep locking these servers for too long is adding the fuel to its destruction. Please at least unlock character creation so friends can re-unite, thanks.
Forreal, at the end of the day, they’re just shooting themselves in the foot, some of my friends have quit already due to not being able to play with friends. And I’ve heard of many other people that just stopped playing since they got separated from their friends since all of this locked server bs. I’d be happier if they just introduced full on layering and enabled cross server raids/guilds/pvp/arena. It has gotten beyond ridiculous at this point.
I have noticed in grobb that the number of raid loggers is extreme. I seriously doubt any patches will bring players back that quit.
Pretty sure the tourists mostly left already.

Blizz keeping servers locked to see if it counters bots/goldsellers, by not letting them xfer toons from dead servers with banks full of materials ready to sell
Blizzard said part of the reason servers are locked is because they want to phase out mega servers. So it’s not just about the queues. Considering the amount of raid logging happening already, and the fact that they don’t want to have mega severs OR RDF, servers are going to feel pretty dead for anything besides raiding.
They really should undo the server lock at this point.
Megaservers are a thing in retail because it helps you succeed at the game. Blizz never figured out how to keep players spread out, we dont have retail sharding, so layers and telling us to leave the server that makes playing like we do possible are the only option.
That’ll be $500 for all 4 servers to be unlocked, and we need to raise 5 million dollars to get them unlocked, deal? deal okay nice talk homie
AQ war effort, but it unlocks server transfers.
This locked Realm policy is terrible. Don’t punish new or returning player who want to play with friends who happen to be on a mega server. It is equally poor policy to ask/expect entire guilds and communities to transfer off an established server because you refuse to tackle technological and other balance problems.
Reported. For asking reasonable things.
Enjoyed the bann.
Full is full. Pick another server.
if you’re new player, why would you want to join faerlina? go pick any other cool server.
tbh i would love if fearlina kept locked forever cus cba to deal with queue, Also being locked prevent the bots swarm to attack fearlina.
Yeah I feel like it’s okay to unlock now. We got Retail pre-patch coming in and DF soon anyway. The hype train died and people are gonna start seeing some dips for DF or just raid logging. Time to bring the boi’s back home or they’re stuck on dead.
No thanks. That will just bring the queues back, especially come P2. There are over 25k people on my server, we don’t need any more.
what are these friends’ names? I don’t believe they actually exist.
Please, It’s hard to tell a friend who wants to start the game with me that the realm I’m on is locked
Just pick a PVE server. That’s what Faerlina is anyways, its a 99% server.
They’re only fine with no queues because they are locked.
I think a good time to unlock all these realms would be the day DF releases.
