Couldn’t find the link yesterday, but this is what I was talking about: Burning Crusade Classic Realm Consolidation August 10 - #548 by Malou-celebras
The “whoopsie” refers to this quote:
When we originally analyzed realm populations and decided which to close, we were focused on applying the same logic to every realm being examined but regrettably, it initially escaped our notice that RP realms would be completely removed from the EU ecosystem with this course of action. That was quickly pointed out, and we agreed, that a region without a place for RP players to congregate would be objectively incorrect.
… just thought I’d point that out.
