Fixe Living Flame server

[Saneko-ragnaros (Saneko)]

At a certain point the realm reaches maximum capacity, whether this is already so no one knows. To just close down 18 other server blades at a whim because it’s needed for a fad elsewhere is preposterous. There are players there too that may need to be rehomed and is a long procedure.

From SOD there’s atleast 5 other realms that are not locked at the moment of writing. Giving it another 3 PVP realms is highly unnecessary.

Therefore free transfers isn’t needed either.

If players continue to report botters they’ll be handled every banwave.

They even added 1 extra realm from 5 to 6 shortly after SOD launch named PVP Chaos Bolt which is at “High” and wrote this in advance:

Another topic that comes up each time we talk about realms is faction balance on PvP realms. We’ve received a lot of feedback on this since 2019. We hear you, and with Season of Discovery, we’re going to try something new: this Season’s PvP realms have been designed to maintain faction balance as they grow. Yes, this is actually happening!
However, there is a potential cost to this faction balance that we want to make sure you’re aware of: if one faction is significantly more dominant on a PvP realm, there is a very real likelihood that faction selection may be temporarily limited on that realm. That said, our overarching goal for Season of Discovery is for it to be a fun and smooth experience, and we are prepared to change course if necessary. Your requests for faction balance have been heard loud and clear. This is a new direction for us, and one that we’re excited to try.

Again, this feature will only be turned on for our Season of Discovery PvP realms. You will always be able to roll either faction as you wish on PvE realms. We encourage everyone who isn’t committed to the challenges and difficulties of PvP to consider a non-PvP realm for Season of Discovery. As an old WoW veteran myself, I can tell you – playing on a balanced-faction PvP realm can be a double-edged sword. There are awesome and fun new challenges that await, but also the potential for hindrances that you may not expect.
