If you red my post, you would see that I fully understand the situation. All you keep saying is “I want”.
There are reasons Blizzard keep them locked.
And there are “friends” also, bot accounts who got banned and want to make new ones.
Also mules, who carry black lotus and crystals off low pop server.
Dont you think there is a good reason servers a locked? Your anecdotal examples arent all problems, there is a bigger picture which Blizzard maybe wont share.
Blizzard is loosing money on locking servers decision. Do you have any logical explanation why they locked server?
You sound like they did it just to annoy you AND loose money in the process.
Server locks are a lazy mechanism so they don’t have to actually solve the problem.
yikes asteric just stop lol
Our server is down to 6k total and still locked. Leveling zones are empty. No one is running dungeons except the bots.
Stop what? It is easy to cry here and keep repeating “i want, i want” instead of trying to see other side of things why some things arent possible, although they seem so
I agree with you. There are layers on some locked servers anyway so what’s the difference - 2 or 3 layers: layers are layers. I can’t play with my friend cause of that and i will quit WoW soon if it doesn’t change.
Layers on locked servers are complete joke. There is not enough players for even one layer in any zone outside org and stormwind.
Its gotten so bad that Ashbringer is less than low pop currently. There is nobody outside 100-200 people in major cities.
Its the same as with bots or any other problem. It takes blizzard months to recognize obvious problem and come up with moronic solution which creates two other problems.
When I was leveling another character recently I did all the dungeons with no problems.
What the hell is wrong with your servers, guys? lmao
Servers are locked for more than two months. 99% of new players below level 50 quit. A lot people quit because their guilds have less than 30 people. Currently these locked servers are more like low/medium pop.
They killed low/medium population servers with transfers and now high pop servers by locking them for too long. Its gotten to the point that I dont think these servers will ever recover from this.

That’s just soooo weird to read posts like this, as I had completely different experience while leveling a char after servers were locked.
when will blizzard answer the issue there : UNLOCK the servers ASAP (not after AQ it will be too late)
Unlock servers & open transfer for people with existing characters on that server.
Preferrably reduce the amount of layers
But atleast give us an update!
The reason is known and it is explained in detail in the blue post. The solution on the other hand may had good intentions but never delivered the desired result. More like it caused side problems.
Sometimes, even the biggest companies around the globe taking some decisions that do not go as intended. Noone is perfect in the real world. Same with Blizzard. Sometimes makes a succesful planning and execution (lotus and devilsaur faster spawns, av premading etc) and sometimes does not.
Server locking caused servers to lack group leveling content and end-game dungeon groups but the biggest issue is that: Classic WoW is at the moment the first and only MMO-rpg with monthly subscription that restricts you to enjoy the game by joining your friends or vice-versa -suddenly- at the middle of the game’s lifecycle (phase 4).
It never was a “personal” issue. It is a well known topic that affects negatively a significant amount of people and that is the reason that it is being discussed in noumerous posts in the designated social platforms like forum etc. People just communicating the problem as they should. It is not just “whining”

How many times will you and people like you be told, when it changes they will tell us, no amount of posting or complaints will change that. No Blue posts means no news.

Servers will unlock when enough people have transferred to an alternative server. When will that be? When enough people have transferred obviously. Nobody knows the when that will be exactly, not even Blizzard. It’s pointless to keep asking the question because the answer will always be ‘when enough people have transferred to an alternative server’.
Thats simply not true if community wasnt so vocal about the botting issue Im pretty sure that we wouldnt recieve any communication about it either. What do you expect from us to do? I did suggestion ingame and I was hoping for any update from Blizz for 3 months. Now I’m just **** as a customer. EU realms should not be locked. Period. Look at ironforge, some of the locked realms are bellow 6k pop and we all know that thats hardly a realistic number of unique players more like 4k, while realms like Shazzrah shows almost 8k same as some of the NA realms.
Do you think being vocal on the forums is going to force enough people to transfer to a different server? Because that’s what needs to happen before the realms can unlock. What do you want Blizzard to say?
In terms of numbers, unfortunately Blizzard have to do it by the number of accounts, not by the number of active players. If everyone suddenly came online at once, it would be a real horror show. Hence why they are locked until, yep you guess it, enough people transfer to an alternative server.
