14 days left before server merge and my characters are unplayable for 2 weeks

Could we just know already? I want to move so I don’t get stuck not being able to play. I won’t move without knowing as I want to play with my guild that’s dormant.

Thanks

Wonderful to get to know which realms non-transfeered charaters will be moved to.
And also we’d like to know the exact time of the close down of the realms.
Thank you!

Zandalar Tribe would also like to know, but I’ll still fight for our server till the end.

That headline is a bit misleading.

Blizzard have said that if everything goes as planned, there wont be much of a lockout time. They announced this “might be locked out for two weeks” as a safety buffer, to not have any agree people yelling IF they’d be locked out for a little bit.

You’re right, they essentially said “up to two weeks”.

It’s understandable since they’ll have to run a script to transfer the thousands upon thousands of characters automatically to other servers.

And it probably includes level 1s as I doubt they’ll just delete characters that are not at least level 10.

Serious questions:

  1. Do we know which servers are combined?
  2. What happens to guilds and guild banks?
  3. What happens to mails/auctions?
  4. What will be the rename priority for character names?
  1. No servers are combined. List of to be ‘consolidated’ (Read deleted) here: Burning Crusade Classic Realm Consolidation August 10
  2. Down the drain they go with no compensation, so remember to empty them out.
  3. I don’t know.
  4. Characters from ‘consolidated’ realms will be asked to rename on first log-in if name’s taken on target server just like when transferring.

Even so on 1) it would be nice to know what realm(s) they plan to send us, so we can plan on what to do.

You could always move to a realm of your own choice (sort of) beforehand.

Helpful as always Dottie.

I try. But which would you rather be, on a realm you don’t want to be on or on a realm of your choosing.

I’d like to know what they plan to do, then decide what realm I want to go to.

For example if it’s a half decent realm, I’ll stay with pals from guild / realm however if not I’ll move somewhere myself before…

I agree, they might move all to firemaw, you never know.

allies to gehenas, horde to firemaw…

lol. As I wrote in the OP I want to move to the server where my dormant guild will go. If there’s no warning I will be locked out of my characters.

Welcome to the internet I guess? If it takes them more than 7 out of 9 weeks to tell us what they will do I will default to expecting the lockout to be 2 full weeks or possibly even longer.

that would make too much sense

Earthshaker would be a decent realm if they had more horde population too

Like I said, you still most likely wont be locked out and should you be not for very long.

I default to not trust this indie company on it being anything less than 2 weeks on this issue. How can they handle things smoothly when they can’t even tell us basic info about it

yea well, you do you. Just trying to be helpful and calm your nerves a bit.
Regardless, they wont come here until they choose to (if they choose to) no matter how much you beg them.

With Razorgore added to the list of realms with transfers, and Blizzard’s complete silence about Ashbringer I think it is likely, given the current evidence, that Ashbringer will be the dumping ground.
