Unlock the servers already

PVP is unplayable on smaller servers, please unlock benediction so I can actually play the game thanks.

instead of begging for transfers, why not campaign for better management of all realms so that one has no need to transfer in the first place?

The current problem he’s pointing out is simple, there aren’t queues anymore.
Unlock realms. I can’t even transfer to a realm that’s listed as “full” not “locked” right now and I have an 80 and 2 60s on it. Having more characters on 1 server isn’t going to mess with queue times because you can’t login to more than 1 at a time, PLUS - IT’S NOT EVEN LOCKED.

No, you’re both ignoring the actual problem --Blizzard’s gross negligence to maintaining fully functional realms – and instead choosing to turn a blind eye and take their prescribed nonsolution: transfers. Transferring won’t make low-pop realms any less ‘dead’. They infact only exacerbate the issue. You should demand better.

I think pvp/arenas on a hold arent as popular as people think. Even in LFG there usually only about 10 people looking for games.

Meant to say even on high pop servers.

Alright im not gonna storm blizz hq jan 6th, id just be happy to transfer guy

It would be nice if they ALLOWED transfers to a server if you already have characters on that server. It may be one thing if someone does not have a character on that server already but for those of us that play on multiple servers, preventing us to transfer is a poor decision.

Because his suggestion takes a single flip of a switch

The game doesn’t need any more low-effort ‘solutions’ that fail to address a problem’s root cause, all the while inflicting massive collateral damage. Transfers are poison.

Transfers are not poisonous by any means and you can even add conditionals to server transfers, such as you can only transfer servers if you 1) already have a character above a certain level or 2) new transfers cannot bring one faction to tip far into favoring one over the other.

Stating that transfers are poison without offering options is just something a simple-minded fool with no intelligence to brainstorm suggestions would say. There are many reasons folks would want to switch servers and they SHOULD NOT have to start all over just to play the same class from scratch.

Reread my first post. I did. Demand an actual fix to the realm population fiasco you’ve been content being swept under the rug for years instead of the hogwash that is transfers. The better course of action is for blizzard to abandon the undeniably destructive practice, which toys with realm populations as a Zero Sum Game, and adopt a more constructive means of making all realms habitable. Realm Connection (read: NOT Cross-Realm) is an example of one such means.

Please turn on server transfers and ignore sound intelligent responses such as those being provided by @Despitebeing.

So that way I revel in the outrage of 20,000+ queues at Cata launch and not understanding why there isn’t a SOLUTION in place.

Blizzard population on server management is like the world population on climate change.

I’ve been waiting for 2 months to play with friends but I can’t because they are on Sulfarus, and there is no sign that realm will get unlocked. I went ahead and canceled my sub because there is no reason to play.

Blizzard! Open up the servers. I just want to play with my bestest of friends. Such a shame to get them to come back and pay for a subscription for this restricted bs.
