You really think that’s true? Because some random dude on the forums says “Nuh uh” we’re just supposed to believe them?
The idea that it’s some big conspiracy that Blizzard would willingly cause server issues and disappoint customers is farcical. Even if you assume that Blizzard is only in this for the money, it makes no sense to break their own servers; that makes people unsub, and thus leads to less money.
Personally, I’ve spoken to people I actually know to be server engineers and they agree that what Blizzard is saying is likely true due to the nature of how outdated their back end code likely is. WoW is a really old game now, and it would take an entire rewrite of the code to accommodate modern server technology.
I remb watching a you tube vid of some rogue after alliance left with just raids of horde around searing gorge trying to find the last 10 alliance players
Blizzard’s handling of servers has been absolutely terrible. Ruining faction balance on PvP servers to cause people to have to pay server transfers so they can make a quick buck.
They could easily implement a faciton balance system for the integrity of server balance but choose not to. Now fresh is ruined as well !
More money on…what? What do you think a server costs exactly? Do you have any idea how much of a drop in the bucket a physical server must be? Logistically it would probably be cheaper to just have everything on a single mega beefy server. The issue isn’t the hardware costs, it’s the software costs and that only Blizzard knows, no matter what other “software engineers” say. WoW is an old game, people forget this fact.
e: Also the game doesn’t work any better by having mega realms, all the big servers without queues right now have more than enough people in them. Stop thinking you need a mega realm to play the game, server issues aside.
I have faith they will monitor faction populations this time. They were adamant about a second server being a last resort. So we know the classic dev team is up against a wall.
Yes, I was ranking gen 1 of classic. We would hunt people down for hks. I would kill a player once then let them go. If I spawn camped that player 10 times. When I left they’d be camped by someone else and someone else, till they log off from being unable to play.
Wait you guys took Skyfury seriously? Even if xfers didn’t happen everything you didn’t like about on the old servers would happen on the fresh ones way sooner than what people realize.
Once the alliance left and I was done ranking. I would help alliance I found in the world and only attacked if they attacked me. Usually taunt tanking their mob if low hp, aoe taunting off their lotus or rtv.
