We are essentially dead horde side
We Down 1 Ashenvale boss for the Alliances 3 (2 at a push) and lose 99% of the time
No Shadow prot potions of the AH / cant farm mats because allies overwhelm the areas
Ah is almost empty
Nothing sells on the AH anymore
… any chance of a server merge ?
(For those of you suggesting a reroll… I’m the GM of a guild just upping and leaving isnt an option- ive put time and effort into getting to know these people/creating the guild itself/discord channels etc)
I guess you will get some transfer if it gets worse, but no one will tell you when. If I was you, I would reroll. You can get transferred before the next phase, or you will be stuck for months or forever and find it harder and harder to reroll. You have to decide. But according to what we saw in the past, we can expect that it will take some time.
I don’t think Blizzard will merge or close down any new servers soon, as population will definitely go up in every server when the new phase begins. Probably not what you wanted to hear but I’d suggest you at least consider moving to a server with higher population right now, because you won’t miss on that much - you can quickly level to 25 and still have like 10 resets of BFD before new phase comes out. It will get even worse and worse starting over as levels and phases progress, so this is probably the best time.
Again - don’t take this as a negative comment or hate, it’s just the thing that I’d do if I were in your situation.
Reroll on Wild Growth and if they ever open transfers you can transfer your old characters, if you reroll on Crusader Strike you lose that option since you cannot transfer from PVE to PVP.
I won’t lie to you though, from what I can tell from WSG, all the worst players have gone to Wild Growth.
I am on Lava Lash EU horde, it’s dead sadly.
Yeah i could reroll but with 4x25s thats kind of a large time investment I don’t want to lose because of server mismanagement.
Just reroll, don’t expect Blizzard to rush in and fix it.
Sunk cost fallacy is not a good mindset, especially given it’s only P1 with rerolling and getting back to your current power is anything between a matter of days or couple weeks at most.
In a month it will all reset anyway, except for gold (maybe).
In half a year from now it will be much more painful, when you’re 60 and your costs are truly sunk in a realm that is 60/40 A/H or worse.
Believing they’ll bother doing any realm related changes before the 8-12 month mark, and as a result, rolling on Lava Lash, was unfortunately a massive mistake. You’d be better rerolling.
Just reroll, it is only 25 levels, you still have a month in p1 and the imbalance will get worse in the next phases. Sadly Blizzard will not do anything with the servers, not so soon.
The issue is, tbis isnt a population issue u describe, but a faction balance one, im pretty sure ironforge put ur server as a 73% alliance dominated server.
Your on a pve server, so theres no faction balance
Well, rp servers are not for everyone. If population site is somehow correct - horde having hard time there… Delaying phase 2 for so long does not help either - all servers will lose some pop even more in coming weeks. Some of the people wont return in p2.
Merges or free transfers never happened before server is completely dedge, and your server is far from it. At least right now.
I’d creare character on other pve server and play it like 2 hrs per week. In case of emergency
This imbalance on PVE servers shows again how WOW really needs to have balance restrictions. And I hope they will stick with them forever, at least on PVP servers. To shame, they didn’t do that on classics from the beginning. Wotlk/TBC would be so much more fun. Now it is unplayable there.
On pvp servers yes, however you gotta give players enviroments where this doesnt matter, otherwise you risk players completely unable to ensure late stsrting friends csnt join. As possibility to being faction locked.
I’ve been playing on the RP realms in classic since 2019, they are truly great fun, the people there are genuinely nice, there are no mega-server vibes, gdkps or blacklist.
It really is the closest thing to a 2004 environment you will ever get, obviously with the downsides that brings too.
I gave the RP on seasonal a chance to see how it would go and phase 1 has been a blast, really it it has.
However, there comes a point where you have to accept that some things don’t work out and help to improve the situation.
This could go several ways, the most obvious being to open transfers from Living Flame to Lava Lash.
Blizzard did this far too late for Hydraxian Waterlords Wotlk, and the realm never recovered and there it lies 0 pop.
If blizzard cares at all about the RP community, although tiny, they should help with maintaining the realm, it really doesn’t take much.
Personally i’ve just started a guild on Wild Growth with my bros and thats another guild to bite the dust on Lava Lash.
Realms shouldn’t be dead at the start of a seasonal, RP realms do not grow, this is the best it is gonna be, and you are maybe waiting 1hour for a BFD pug to fill.
“just reroll” is the solution for the player, but not for the realm and the people who will stay, wow should be a multiplayer game.
Opening up a PvP realm to transfers to a PvE realm, would be a slap in the face to any player looking for a actual transfer. Players rolled on PvP realms for a reason
also, Lava Lash is a RP server, I.E additional Ruling.
RP Related names
Interupting RP events is considered griefing and is bannable.
They tried this sorta stuff in retail, Argent Dawn players grew to despise non-RP players for these reasons. because they dont understand or are interested in RP they Unintentionally wreck RP Events. which are now bannable.
Also a PvP server of all Servers?..
ur aware people rolled on a PvP Server for a reason? yes. one that isnt avaliable on PvE realms… thats ridiculous.
Im sorry, but opening the server, that notoriously has Sweatlords, PvP Orintated players and the Largest quantity of trolls/Griefers, to a RP Realm is Litteral suicide more so then the current position. they would absolutely Wreak havoc on the server, Not to mention the quantity of unintentional bans if anyone honestly swapped.
you cant just throw audiences together like this.
RP players are COMPLETELY different to PVP Players, the goals are different, the way of engaging with the game is Different.
If ur going to open transfers between Any server with a RP Realm. Crusader strike is the one to do, a RRPVP Server which upholds the same values as Lava Lash already does, with the same ruleset everyone walked in with.
