The queues are too long. Oh you got DCed? Have fun waiting for hours, because Blizzard for some reason doesn’t make more fresh PvP realms to spread the population, and merge the realms once they die out. I just wanna play fresh PvP, just like many others. So many in fact, that we NEED more fresh realms, so people can transfer and not lose the fresh part or PvP part.

More servers = Monofaction = No pvp = Ppl cry for merge.
Merging = Ppl complain = Problems.
There is no winning in more realms.
You will have a Gehennas vs Firemaw situation.
They could however (I know it exists) add a DC protection.
So if you get DCt you have for example 5 mins to reconnect without having to Q again.

The DC protection is 10 minutes. But gl with that if you’re away for a little while.
Also the Alliance/Horde ratio is gonna suck then yes, maybe an idea for blizz to add a 40/60 faction cap if they have the resources to do that.
And with the merging it’s just a case of some people will complain about anything ig, that’s the only thing where there is no full winning.

Literally this, its not rocket science. Enforce faction balance and you will have SOOOOO MANY POPULATED BALANCED SERVERS. Private servers do this and its not like the scale is stopping them from locking 1 faction once the balance tips over.

A term nobody wants to hear though.
It’s almost as hated as LOCKED.
It basicly prevents ppl from playing toghetter once they are “too late” creating a character.
I think its only 5minutes. Could be wrong but dont count on 10, ever.

This doesnt apply to faction balance enforcement because its literally only a matter of time before you can create a character. Its not like because you force the 60/40 lock you suddenly are stuck not being able to make a character on alliance side for 3 months…
EDIT: Also you gotta come to realize that the minority that complains about not being able to make a character on X server for like a week or two just have to deal with it… it beats having 7 hour queues for everyone.

Doesn’t matter if you have to wait 2 days or a month.
Since Blizzard is catering towards “inclusivity” the last thing they’d make is a technicallity where you intentionally “Exclude” ppl.
Even if it is temporarly.
Also, back in original wotlk this wasn’t a thing either #NoChange crowd is happy. 
Does it not? What if the Horde starts leaving for other realms because a bunch of them feel like 60/40 are bad odds and suddenly the realm is 70/30, or even worse? Then it’s a permanently locked one-population realm until it eventually dies. (Or vice versa for Alliance)

Leave to where? A server that is not transfer-able to as horde because its 40/60 horde? Obviously I only wrote a couple sentences about enforced faction balanced - but please lets not act dumbfounded and pretend like you cant wrap your head around it…
There is a difference between opening 20 servers eventually become monofacttions and opening 1 server with queue.
Opening one extra fresh pvp server which blizz might merge later on does what harm? This is the obvious soltution.
The queue of 20.000 is so harmful i cant even recommend my friends new players to play wow.

That’s not how DCs work, at all. There’s a graceperiod where you can log in again and won’t be put in a queue.

The answer is simple : you don’t play. Anyway it’s good to save the planet! They said using computer was gonna make the earth explode!
if we ask for fresh realms then they’re gonna **** it up. yes there are problems with adding fresh realms, yes they can easily be reconciled but that is not how blizzards rolls regarding classic. we get 1 half assed solution a month or more too late and it creates more problems than it solves.
no fresh realms.

people like you are the reason why wow is dying. You literally say to 20.000 returning players its your problem kkthnxbye.
We dont ask for 20 fresh servers like launch in classic. Just ONE extra fresh pvp server and half the problem is solved with the queues.

So how are you intending to solve unique names when you merge the servers?
There is a solution to this. Add German, Russian and French fresh PvP realms. They will probably stay mostly balanced in their language groups.

Why is this even a concern when people can’t play the game ? It can’t be hard to query two databases on character creation.
I would happily loose my name or add a letter/number to just be able to play for a bit.
Play at 00:30+ GMT to 12:00 GMT, no queues
Or go play PVE and sacrifice “pvp” ascpect with you anyway
Alliance you can have Thekal, Horde go Jindo
