Hello Blizzard,
You created Jin’do server in order to lift the queue on Thekal and promised to monitor realms and merge when needed. Now is the time to merge, asap. 0 pugs on Jindo, 0 wpvp, barely can find a group of people to do 5 mans.
I won’t believe you will do it this week even, so anyone knows where should I migrate as alliance? Looking for a new server to play.
By the way, this is not cool milking money for somewhat decent gameplay, Blizzard.
People wonder why megaservers are a thing.
Dealing with bad queues is necessary until the initial casual-players who enjoy levelling are done and move onto other games.
If we didn’t use mega servers, we’d have tons of dead servers, because this isn’t 2008 and the player base doesn’t grow over time, it shrinks. Megaservers are the only viable solution players have right now to a social/market issue that blizzard don’t/won’t address.
TL;DR
Blizz wont help - paid transfer is your best option.
where to as ally? Have no idea, too many servers and I’m a new player.
go to the ironforge.pro website and look at the “demographcis” tab.
No, a paid transfer is not my (our) best option. They released Jin’do marked as ‘‘New Players’’, which for all intents means I should go there to have the best possible experience as a fresh starter. That’s what I pay for.
Which I did not get, so tell me, why should I pay on top of already paying to get another shot at maybe a quality experience? If they can’t design this game in a way that makes people not abandon their characters after certain realizations, which seems to be a common theme in classic in general, then it’s not my fault.
They provided a server, marked as ‘‘come here’’, I did, it’s their turn now. This is not a young company and the game is 20 years old. They know that a lot of people will quit Classic expacs or jump servers early and they know the reason why. They shouldn’t have released the server and done something else but they didn’t.

nah bud… after years of playing this game i can safely tell you “new player” only means …
go here to avoid the queue…
nothing more than that…
newplayer realms usually die by the end of a expansion.
‘new players’ dont stick around in this game…
and the others which end up there are only there until they can transfer off to the realm they wanna be on.
new player realms are effectively just waiting rooms…
Where did they actually say that? Source please.
Well your out of options due to RL commitments job , family & the infernal queues on Firemaw I missed the push to 80. Now its desolate level 70-80 you will be lucky to find a group for anything , 0 horde to fight against. Game is dull solo leveller now.
I am going to everlook 11th proper classic proper PVP and a promise to ban gdkp BS , botting , death rolls and all the crap that broke wow see you there
is german speaking required?. you know its german server right? I might want to head there too if i can.
Blizzard did address it, they stated their engine cannot withstand mega server infrastructure, it cant hold up the modifications required.
This is because allthoough they canupdate it they cant make the servers cores larger or overclock it further to wothhold larger storage in each individual core that its run on.
This isnt blizzards fault.
This is a industry problem, when the same games are leading the market for 2 decades, im afraid the games end up too old, the f2p demand from players drove the genre into a hole regarding new launchs and killed off every title that attempted it.
But at the same time games were frequented by plauers boycotting til it went f2p. WoW and FFXIV were the only surviving sub based games which had communities that stuck it through and when it went sour the players who tried fighting for returned to sub.
This ment these games survived.
WoW is 10 years too old, and without taking the entire game down for 2 weeks to remove the engine and redo the games coding onto a new one to replace it there isnt a fix.
Everquest tried taking its game down to do exactly this as theres caught fire when pushing it too far, it went down for 3 weeks, the games playerbase never returned and the game died.
I dont blame blizzard for not taking that risk.
The only fix, is WoW 2 which i do think will come, in the same form as overwatch do it, they will recode it on the side lines, merge the player accounts into it and auto upgrade without chsrging the players a 2nd time around or forcing everyone to restart.
But thats not a fast process, performing that sorta tech in a mmorpg is very different to overwatch so if they are doing it its not releasing at any speed.
As they said theres major changes to WoW coming for the following expansion time, and this could be it.
You’re talking out your butt, making stuff up to fit your premise of “It’s not Blizzards fault”
Like kek, it’s 100% Blizzards fault and they 100% have the capacity to fix it.
Don’t worry, locked “megaservers” are not mega anymore. It’s getting hard to fill any raid on gehennas as well. Almost zero leveling activity.
By the time ulduar hits entire wotlk classic will be empty desert.
not true… everyone will come back for a week or two when that hits… before it dies…
I’ve said this maybe 4-5 times now.
Gehennas has more active raiders now than ever. There has never been more active characters in raid. 3 weeks in a row, WOTLK has set a record for most characters raiding - increasing every week. more than any other classic time.
You’re wrong. Catagorically wrong.
To start, you have no evidence blizzard were lying regarding megaservers, WoWs engine is a modified starcraft engine i imagine there most defintly are limitations.
Also
Your correct blizzard can fix it, they fixed it on live, via cross server play, the issue is classic players do not want the fix as it damages open world gameplay,
You guys made it very clear early on, u dont want RDF you dont want phasing and you dont want cross servers, as it damages the open world by making mid way servers where all servers are visible but allows people to dissapear etc etc as its built on a layering system.
So blizzard abided and did not include anything as such.
Retail proved they csn fix it, but their the exact changes tbat drove people to quit
People seem to forget wotlk classic servers are larger then orginal wotlk servers, ironically they are megaservers compared to actual orginal wotlk server populations.
People apply retail standards to classic regarding server populations etc etc.
I meam draenor holds 200k+ players on it, its massive, but classic wotlk did not have these features, and without the phasing systems and cross server layering the servers simply cannot replicate those sorts of numbers.
Wotlk servers are not dead and wotlk classic isnt dead either.
linking or merging realms would be the solution to any dead realm.
It doesn’t matter how much you write, you’re wrong
maybe to the eyes of someone who doesnt understand how Engines and things work. but thats Simply a lacking on ur side im afraid.
My reply was Strictly to the statement on Mega Servers. not a Outright statement saying “theres nothing blizzard could do.” they can merge low pop servers Ofcourse they can and that does improve the situation. but thats not making megaservers.
a Mega server, in preference is how GW2 is run as a Example, its where ur ALL On one Server effectively and Proven by the Large queues, the Crashs and performance Drops aswell as the servers Not even remotely managing to stay alive. which multiple expansion launchs have proven.
I’d say theres More evidence the Engine cant handle it then there is. so ur “imma Just disagree but not going to justify why i think blizzard is lying about mega servers” Just doesnt line up to any view but one that Simply is far too Cynical.
wanna run with some Conspiracy theory vote with ur wallet and Unsub, otherwise find proof tests and Math which proves the Engine could Sustain Megaservers. Until then. theres no Based knowledge to make Statements on.
I don’t care about your gibberish, you’re definitely no more informed than I am. You’ve put yourself in a position like many others, where they somehow dig too deep to admit being wrong.
I don’t try to appear more intelligent than I am. I don’t have to worry about my hurt ego after admitting to being wrong.
It doesn’t need to be repeated but I’ll do it anyway. You’re wrong. Suck it up.
