Blizzard moved my characters to a non-PVP server

[Kufen-hydraxian-waterlords]

So I’m back thrilled to play WOTLK, finding out that my old server Zandalar Tribe(RP PVP) is gone and all of my characters are moved to Hydraxian Waterlord (RP Normal).

What is this? Sure I enjoy playing on a RP server, but the most important thing for me is to be on a PVP-server. So now my characters are stuck on a normal server, that by the way has almost no players.

How do I come in contact with Blizzard? The in game ticket system only sends me automatic answers recommending to “report bugs” or to write on this forum.

If I remember right the initial plans would have included removal all EU English language RP realms but that was changed to keep one of the RP realms, in this case PvE one. It was announced in June and at the time there were free transfers available to other realms though I don’t know which were available for Zandalar Tribe.

Im sure there were free transfers, but I activated my game time in mid august when the free transfers were closed.

How could I have known? Maybe send an email next time?

EDIT:
On my second ticket I was able to get in contact with a GM. Here’s the answers provided. (Shorted down my questions)

Question: I didn’t know of any server merge. Please move me to a PVP-server.

I’m Game Master Dannvila. Thank you so much for your patience so far. We truly appreciate your understanding while we get to your ticket. I sure hope this message reaches you in good health and spirits.

On August 9, we consolidated many realms along with the Zandalar Tribe realm into the Hydraxian Waterlords realm to preserve a healthy population.

Before realm consolidation, we opened a free character migration service for players who don’t want to be affected by realm consolidation. If you missed the migration period, we are unable to provide additional transfer service.

Question: How could I have known of the free migration? Couldn’t you sent an email?

Game Master Daerdrin here. Thanks for following up, and I appreciate your patience while waiting for a response. I can understand this is frustrating to have happen, and I am happy to take a look into this for you.

After checking into it, the forums were the primary place where this was announced. We generally will announce all the realm changes or free character moves through our World of Warcraft forums. We won’t usually send out e-mails or anything of that nature.

If you have any feedback about the way this was communicated and handled, you can provide that feedback via our forums or the feedback option in our in-game support menu. Our developers are not able to reply to your feedback, but they really appreciate any feedback or thoughts you may have.

This is pure bull****. A typical Activision way to treat your loyal years long customers. My characters were transferred to a **** realm with extremely low faction population. Now I’m expected to pay them to fix their lack of proper communication?
