I don’t usually bother posting in Forums because this seems to be a gigantic void where any communication that does happen is purely one sided… but it has gotten to the point where I don’t see another way.
The communication and reasons for terrible queue times, one-sided realms, dead realms etc. have all boiled down to “please transfer away” and “we can’t just expand the servers”. This essentially puts US as players at fault for everything that has gone wrong with the realms.
What the team working on WOTLK Classic and all the previous Classic expansions has to understand is that its not OUR job to:
- maintain the realm faction balance
- keep the realms from getting overfilled to the point where there are 6 HOUR QUEUES AT 1 PM ON A MONDAY (Thekal)
We are PAYING for this game - YOU should be the ones that ENFORCE maximum realm populations, low queue times and a balanced faction. If you did even the tiniest bit of Population Management we could have seen MULTIPLE healthy populated 50/50 or 55/45 realms. God forbid at that point even a 60/40 realm would be a dream compared to what you managed to do in the past three expansion rereleases.
I’m essentially repeating myself from this comment here - but this is a gigantic disappointment and mismanagement of your own playerbase… its baffling:
