point? everyone is free to like or dislike who wants.
I’m sorry to OP for derailing but it has to be said… We get it, you have a thick skin. Some people do not. You don’t know their circumstances.
I refuse to go on the internet and take toxicity for granted. Just a personal view.
now is toxic stating if you like or dislike someone like he did???
Our raid ID is broken. They have done character transfers for all of us, basically.
And our previous raid night wasn’t possible due to the merge itself.
Blizz… pls.

now is toxic stating if you like or dislike someone like he did???
There are less toxic ways to say you dislike someone. Disgust is a pretty harsh word as Heavenseeker said.
not at all. and saying you dont like someone is not toxic.
2 free mounts please!
They basically cut/paste Frostmane into Grim Batol, same thing they did with Aggra 6 years ago.
Seems like it. This is what happens if you try to migrate a character.
Did they write anything about this being how it’s done in their posts, either?
No, of course not.
That’s an entire week’s raiding down.

Whuu i’m free again… after being reported for violation of the CoC, even tho i’m 99% sure i did nothing wrong, but what ever.
Where are Blizzard in this?? They started this mess of a fail merge and we have been discussing for 2-3 days now with 0 blue posts or any response from Blizzard. This again with the merge, just tells me that Blizzard doesn’t care at all we are nothing but numbers that pays them.
I dont want to be on a server where my name is written in tradechat in some Polish sentence… There are many nice Polish players awell tho and they have been typing to me etc. I have nothing agens’t Poland, but Blizzard on the other hand
becuase its not failed merge in eyes of blizzard.
you have thread going for 3 days with the same 20 people posting again and again .
meaningless in blizzards eyes.
Americans: Isn’t europe one country?
While I don’t completely agree, I think that will never be possible on this subject, so I’m gonna take the positive that like you said, connecting many low pop realms doesn’t fix things, and that’s indeed the majority of what they did in the 2013-2014 connections, as everyone can see, following those connections here we are again.
They have visibly been more aggressive in this year’s connection round, even in america, which was a lot less aggressive than europe back in 2013-2014.
On this respect, burning legion is certainly big enough to help al’akir much more than example dragonblight would’ve done, although that help will only really be AH wise, cause a fully polish realm is not exactly accessible for an english speaking smaller server.
I’m not sure if this particular realm won’t be connected again, if they do so it will help the english % to recruit some more, as it could bring the ratio to who knows, 25-30% english and 70-75% polish, would still be better than al’akir, but atm it’s really really hard to know what kind of activity blizzard aims for.
Case in point, this one connection has a net result of about 154 guilds, but they also connected lordaeron to blackmoore (the first was as small as al’akir, or a little bigger, the 2nd being full), resulting in 350 guilds or so, all another population level, and then again, not sure if many have seen the uproar in the US forums here, but they connected proudmoore and hyjal, which in the US are full and high respectively, it’s probably done to balance factions since they’re both one sided realms, but it’s such a big connection it could result in queues in shadowlands, and certainly isn’t targeted at any low pop realm (I hope at least that realms marked as full or high won’t be twisted to the point they get called low pops, they have hundreds of guilds each!).
Trelw believes more connections will be made and that should bolster various realm connections with more English speakers.
Theres been no mention of that anywhere from blizz though. I really wish they’d communicate their plans with us. Maybe people would be less at each others throats too.
They just seem to be announcing on a need to know basis atm. In batches they are doing.

50+ likes should be proof enough that the vast majority disagree with them
Most of those likes were done by same poster on multi alts .Likes mean nothing .

Trelw believes more connections will be made and that should bolster various realm connections with more English speakers.
But he’s not blizzard either, so he’s just guessing.
Not saying it couldn’t happen… but its just guesswork.
And to clarify: I do take Trelw’s data gathering serious.
It is a very educated guess. I would trust his judgement. Especially over the armchair experts in the discussion

Tsss… Puny I really don’t get what’s up with you the past days.
But going that head on with others when they use data but with Trelw not? Even though he uses the same data as some of those ‘armchair experts’.
Ah well, suit yourself. It doesn’t sound very honest though.

Tsss… Puny I really don’t get what’s up with you the past days.
How would you be with people nagging and insulting you over the colour of text ?
Ofc there would be more connections .

Difference is Trelw is very well known and long standing part of the forums some of the others here being very rude i have to add are just new or hideing behind multi alts and parroting each others views i think you are being very unjust to her .
Also there is another batch up already for next reset and plenty of servers still needing it .
