I’ve been waiting to join my friends for months now, do we have any time frame on when it will open? I’ve tried looking it up and haven’t found anything so here’s my post.

I transferred my shaman off Grob that first nasty week of 40 hour queue total… I have played 80 priest since (5200 achievements)… I’d like to get my shaman back to grob to use as my alt.

Yeah its getting ridiculous now, I’ve talked with friends from the server and they have said they haven’t had q’s for months now. Wow is fun when you can play with your friends.
Guess what will happen if you open up a nearly perfectly balanced PvP server? Doesn’t take much brain power to imagine what happens. I am perfectly content with blizzards decision to not open Grobbulus up. I know it sucks not playing with friends but they can always reroll on your server or you can make new ones. Policies benefiting the mass majority often marginalize the minority, however it’s for the greater good.

exactly this doesnt make any sense this is the most i cant say the word thing this company had done locking servers so i cant make characters or transfer theres no ques anymore if there is who cares i want the freedom to play where i want like ive had the option since 2004. the company needs to stop this

Ok I’d have to agree. PLEASE remove locked off Grobulus. I have friends to who want to re sub and join this server and I feel like a clown checking the server status every day. Retail launched like 4 minutes ago and people are gonna quit in herds and go do that instead. Its time blizzard fam. Update to full and lets soak in some fresh subscriptions. Thank you.

Anyone who isn’t an alt-oholic isn’t going to reroll. A lot of time and completion gets put into individual characters. I think it’s a small minority of people that support the server locks at this point. I’m still waiting to consolidate two max level characters on a single server due to the locks. The devs aren’t considering anything at this point, or at least haven’t let on that they are
Because there’s too many people on it still.
Well the same thing will happen if people start transferring off the server because they can’t play together.
God forbid more than 3 servers have a healthy population. This is what blizzard wants people to do and what people should have done to begin with, spread out.

People wanted Blizz to do something about the population so they did. The server is locked to prevent too many people stacking on it, just because there is no queue does not mean that the server isn’t full.
Go play on another server.

Seems like that’s what Blizz thinks.
Or it was all hands on deck for DF and people got pulled from Classic to help out so things have been on autopilot for the most part.
Eh - all speculation.
Maybe after the new year they’ll allow some more movement.
Keep it locked until these stupid layers are gone.
We’re full. Pick another server.

They said they don’t want mega servers to exist at all. So it’s not just about queues.
“Yeah screw your friends, just go make new friends!”
- People whom don’t have to go without.
If you’re not willing to switch servers to play with your friend, then you guys are not really friends.

Nope, I’m going to haunt you and your server until ive finally become one with grobbulus
If they open them up, they risk going overpopulated again. I presume is the issue.
Let us say for discussion’s sake, opening them up is not an option. What would you do as a game developer?
You want to give the players an engaging game experience where they feel they can log on, anytime and look forward to it.
You want to provide social opportunities in the game, even if begrudgingly you go against your own instinct to open up everything in order to accomplish this.
You are not a IT tech person and must rely on your own co-workers who are, who are also telling you the servers will not be able to handle more - or at best run risk of instability if more are added to some servers.
You are the decision maker. You are the game developer. You have a home mortgage. A family. A wrong decision may not only affect the game you truly care passionately about, but ripple down to affect your own livelihood and those who work with you and for you. You could be laid off for negative results.
Just some thoughts. What do you think?
It’s not as simple as complaining on a forum as a starting point.
My original post was by no means trying to complain, but maybe get some type of answer.
There are a lot of features that came out in wows later expansions I didn’t care for. I quite enjoyed where you could join at least groups with just your friends list.
I understand where you’re coming from and its a valid point, I guess i was just hoping for at least some type of time frame. Thanks for not telling me to go find a different server lol
