What are these more successful games, exactly?
ffiv /10char
Edit: I mean XIV or whatever 14 is.
This. If the player rerolls the population still worsens it just doesnât look like it on a census because the character is still present even though itâs inactive.

Alternatively, still allow new characters to be created but have a max number of players per faction that can be logged in at any given time. Split the queues between alliance and horde for each server.
This way you donât run the risk of fracturing guilds between servers or splitting up groups of friends but you also force a balance between factions.
I absolutely love how Blizzard is getting blamed for something as intrinsic to modern gaming as the bottomless toxicity of PvP. Classic WoW also has streamer culture to throw on top of the mix. I imagine escaping a PvP server would be akin to escaping hell itself if you are an adult who values their time. I wouldnât deny anyone the chance to bolt from those cesspools.

Yeah but that wouldnât have been an issue if implemented from launch.
Those guilds could have all collectively gone to another server.
It needs to be faction locking AND queues from the get go. That is the only way to keep pvp servers alive.
That has worked IRL.
Emphasis that.
Blizzardâs method has a COMPLETE failure rate.
Heeee! I know a couple of women who started writing paranormal romance/erotica back in the early 2000s. They made enough money that the one half of the partnership working (computer programmer) could quit her job and write full time. The other one bought a house with her share of their earnings. XD

Donât derail the thread with your inane crap.
FF14 is a very, very strange game to base your ideas off of seeing as it doesnât even have player factions.

People want no changes, and people really like having 2 factions. On retail the best thing for the health of the game, especially for ally players, would be cross faction content.
The only way every ally mythic guild doesnt go horde eventually, is to make it so you can join horde guilds as ally.
The roster boss is still the hardest raid boss around, and having a bigger pool of potential recruits is kind of important for the long term health of a raiding guild.
Over 15 years and one faction did win out, it was the faction that had the stronger racials for a longer portion of time. They could let you choose racials regardless of race and it would make it so no faction has an edge.
But most people would throw a hissy fit and quit the game over taking the war out of warcraft.

This, IMO, is a valid reason to reroll.
Iâm still upset they changed the files so you canât clientside mod the Warlock pets. I miss my Murloc Imp

You know you donât look bright when thereâs audio recordings on the web of Blizzards board meetings where executives state that classic has broken records. Records BFA and WOD couldnât hold a candle to.
Google is your friend bro, try using it someday.
I wonât deny that it is objectively wrong, but dumbest and most ignorant? Iâve seen a LOT of dumb and ignorant stuff this year, and Iâm not sure that even makes the top 100.
What she should have said is that âeveryone who chose a pvp server should have known what they were getting themselves into.â Because it isnât like the information wasnât out there, or that the writing wasnât on the wall. There are people who were either willfully ignorant or hopelessly naive, and signed up thinking it would somehow be 2005 all over again, despite players knowing more and being an entirely different breed of gamers from the ones who were just noobs who didnât have a clue back in the day.

Agreed. That would have been far more accurate.
Also they still showed pop numbers during the fall so you can see the WoD dropoff inn real time, if you think the amount of players has gone up since then, I have a bridge to sell you in brooklyn.
Looks like it only says âwhich may be enabledâŚâ Meaning they arenât sure yet.
Itâs pretty simple, really. The people opposed to it were raised by parents who bought into the conservative idea that the only way we learn from our mistakes is to be severely punished. Theyâre simply parroting what their parents shouted while delivering harsh corporeal punishment. These are the same people who vote against social welfare programs because theyâre convinced they will one day be millionaires and donât want their tax dollars going to freeloaders.

They donât implement systems if they arenât sure what theyâre doing. If they werenât sure, the logical thing to do would be implement it when they are sure.
Paid transfers will come, eventually.
