I have to opt out to play another server or play retail because of population cap…
Tried to make alliance on Lone Wolf and it’s already capped.
Now I’m stuck in 2.5k to crusader strike and probably gonna be capped as well.
What a stupid idea. All my friends play on Lone Wolf …
EDIT: Ohh and I already can’t make alliance toon on Chaos Bolt new server POGGERS and have to opt to play TRASH HORDE 
They are managing the population ™.
Why is Horde trash? Did some streamer or guide tell you so?
No.
It’s my preference. I played horde 15 years before. I don’t care about any streamers.
I just want to play with my friends on Lone Wolf who play alliance.
you can make new friends now.
It was common knowledge Alliance were going to get locked. If you had a big friend group maybe the smart thing would have been go to the faction that isn’t going to lock some of your group out?
yeah blizzard might as well just make my character for me since Im not allowed to pick anything for my feckin self
I don’t care about internet randoms.
I want to play with my friends.
name these friends, please. I want to confirm they exist.
It probably would’ve been helpful for you all to make a plan beforehand. The only thing you can do now is wait for the population to thin out, which should happen eventually.
You seem to care too much. Mind your own business.
as i thought.
you were nothing but a poser.
What? Are you desperate for friends or something? I won’t befriend you.
right. speaking of friends, though… didn’t you have some friends you were going to play with? I need to talk to them about something, can you forward me some names?
Real friends would ditch their lvl 7 toons and reroll on another server with you.
From an outsider looking in you really have 4 options
Keep spamming Char creation and hope that the factions open up
Or
Get your friends to make Horde Chars
Or
Play on a PvE server
Or
Wait for factions to level out then make your char.
How was anyone supposed to plan when none of the servers were known beforehand?
Faction balance is more important than you being able to play immediately on launch. Just wait it out if you are dead set on playing alliance.
They should have put this in for classics launch originally.
“Hey, the realms are up, what realm will you guys want to play on?”
“Let’s play on X realm”
“That sounds okay, let’s see if we can all make characters on it first. Let’s make sure the population meets our desired population count”
This is real simple stuff Shadows.
Just keep trying and eventually you will be able to. I had to do this as well, took about an hour.
With peace and love, you’re overreacting.
