Of course they shouldn’t just listen to every customer screaming. That’s how we have our problems with retail. They don’t have to ACT on it. They could communicate better. A huge amount of people are asking for transfers. I’m not asking they just hand them out. I’m asking for communication. “we will do those at x point” or “that wont work for x reason”. If we have answers most rational people will drop it. Some will keep screaming but that’s fine. My original post even said just communication would help.
Why do you nae-sayers automatically think that people who demand transfers did not switch servers when told to do so? In fact, hundreds of thousands of players changed server only to find their low-pop server become another high-pop server. Please shut the hell up and stop making general assumptions that people did not attempt to alleviate the queuing issues on their own before complaining.

New servers and transfers would be nice.
Step 1) Pay blizzard by subbing early to reserve name on a server
Step 2) blizzard tells you, forget the money you just gave us. The servers are all full. Reroll to a new server that will be full in the next day and maybe get your name
Step 3) Blizzard never admits their own mistake of too few servers and the cash grab of name reservations
Step 4) suffer and potentially cancel your account

People are too invested in their characters at this point to create a new character on a new realm, even if they are low characters. Not sure why Blizzard is still in the dark on this. Open new realms and allow free transfers off high population realms already.
Wrong. I moved to a low pop server when it opened because everything else was full (Fairbanks) and it was full by launch, and remains full.
It’s the first week of release calm yourself there little guy.
its Blu-mu
Are you brand new to WoW? Blizzard does not respond to every player who asks for a special feature. If they did they would need thousands of people JUST to do that. There are millions of players. Do the math.
There are NO plans for server transfers in Classic. The game has been out for less than 7 days! You want to change servers? Start over! What is 7 days? 7 days is nothing.
My guess is they don’t have the tech in place yet to perform these operations in Classic.
7 days is a lot when you play so many hours a day.
And even for people who only play 3 or less, that’s still a lot of total hours.

I’ll admit this much. It really sucks to have a community on a server where you can’t get on.
But in the end you are suffering from your own haste. Had you waited but a week fresh servers would even now be available with no que even during prime time! I know I’m on one. I understand your eagerness to play but sometimes you don’t get everything you want.
Step 5) realize you live under capitalism quietly regain your dignity and learn from your mistake.
You need to learn to read. I will restate what I’ve said before since you are too lazy to look around.
Blizzard told us to switch because we would be stuck in queues. We switched. I played on the servers I was given at the time and a lot of people have a lot of planning to do in order to group multiple people on a server. Blizzard knows this. They released classic with a DISGUSTINGLY low amount of servers. Every server that came with release is now full. So, with that, the server BLIZZARD told us to switch to, now has queues of 3-5+ hours. With that, is it our responsibility to switch a third time because blizzard planned poorly? After we already have work put in? We should have to give up hours or days or work because we went to the server they told us to and gave us no other options at the time?
So, because of Blizzard, our options are:
Deal with 3-5 hour queue.
Start a new server (which I did).
Though some people don’t want to switch and I get why. But now that is leaving multiple groups of people who have been planning and been excited for classic, completely split. I have a group of 10 or so friends that are now on 2 different servers. One didn’t want to switch, the other did. A server transfer off of the full realms onto the other ones would mostly fix blizzards mistake, as far as I know. Unless they know something that I don’t.
And to answer your original post, you purposely tried to downplay the issue to make your self look right which is an incredibly sad tactic. “just respond to every player who asks for a special feature.” You are an idiot. This isn’t people asking for a special feature, and this isn’t just a “few” people. This is what literally about a third of the forums are asking for, and if you claim to not see all the posts then you are blind.
Normally I like to not be as negative with my posts but you came off as arrogant and made very little effort to understand anything. You just vomited out your opinion with literally 0 info.
Well said man. They created this issue and they need to solve it.
This times 1000. Your fault most of the time.
Except swap step 1 and 2, and add in the fact that people subbed early, giving Blizzard money, to reserve names. Blizzard never did offer to refund the money people spent on reserving those names if they switched servers.
Who cares? How would they know how many people are going to sign up before it happened? All y’all had to do was make an account on a newly rolled server and have the same chances if not better at getting your name
Why bother with transfers when Classic is only a week old?
If your server is overcrowded, just reroll on a better server. At most, you’ll lose just 1-week’s progress which is almost nothing compared to the time you’ll end up devoting to the game.
If they decided against it already, why come out and say it? Anything they say will just be magnified and come back to bite them. So if they have decided against whose denial will face even more anger from the forums, it’s best to just not say anything at all. That’s what outrage culture is teaching PR professionals. It all goes back to “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” Except the best advice in today’s pitchfork environment is “don’t say anything at all.” We are really the ones to blame for any lack of dialogue. After reading these forums this past week, there’s no way I’d want to touch the topic with a 10 foot pole. If I know I’m not going to do what they want, I’m keeping my mouth shut.
