Bringing up the thread because Blizzard seems to have forgotten about us in their incomptance to handle the database. I strongly believe that they should just give free tranfers to everyone, but I am sure that this is not their plan. My realm, once full at Vanilla, is now DEAD. I would abandon it at the first chance, and realm connections gave me hope but they messed it up. So the best suggestion is free transfers.
Agree. Yet again thusands on players have to experience new expansion on empty servers, this is so not fun.
It is beyond me how could they let servers drop so low in population and ignore it for so long only to announce connections that stopped 3 months later. Majority of English servers were left low/dead anyway.
I remember very clearly back in Legion a blue post how Devs from now on will communicate with community on things that matters and how they apologised for being quiet for so long and not listening to players.
Guess what? Nothing really changed.
I guess it wasn’t a genuine statement, but more of a “Stop complaining, here we’ll say what you want us to say, without us changing anything.”
Too many servers are still dead. My realmpool hasn’t even been touched yet. They never wanted to fix the entire issue, they just wanted to act like they tried to fix it.
I asked them a few times now on twitter to update us on the status of EU server connections, but every twitter handle they have (CS, Ion, Devs,…) they just keep up their silence.
Meanwhile they are so busy they can respond on Twiluna’s threads…
(nothing against her btw, me like Twiluna. Just that blues seem to think that those threads need a response 9 out of 10.)
Yes! The thread has not been around for more than a year now, no no no! It feels like all the blues here are just paid to post stupid stuff here and there to make us believe Blizzard cares about these forums. But we never get informed about important stuff such as wether they will continue realm connections, which pretty much plays a role on how much you are going to enjoy an expansion’s content and the number of things you can do.
the connections took out 31 realms in eu, mostly from the bottom… it was probably near the bottom of what the server list considered “medium” before connections but now its def one of the lowest for sure…
That being said most of the french realms i listed below have even lower populations than the english realms.
i remember back, (probably in cata?) that i was thinking of moving to a new server (not paid transfer, but rerolling from lvl 1) so i could get more raiding time. and bronze dragonflight was suggested to me BY BLIZZARD as a server to move to.
i am SO glad i never moved. especially cause im in an awesome guild
I don’t know what they did - if anything - to resolve this. All I can say is, that out and about in the world, Alliance is vastly outnumbered by Horde players.
I am so happy, that I don’t PvP, cause I guess we be gettin our behinds kicked.
