Stuck how exactly? By all free transfers being disabled from Razorgore? That seems unlikely. Gehennass will get locked tonight if it isn’t already, and people will just bite the bullet and go to Golemagg as a second best choice. Firemaw horde is dead either way, and so is Razorgore. The question only is if some refugees end up on second best choice.
So you are basically laughing at people for ending up on a 7k server instead of a 20k one. Boo hoo, what a tragedy.
They will get stuck after transferring to Razorgore as the next transfer they try to do to Gehennas will be blocked by Blizzard so they will be stuck on a dead realm, unable to go forwards or backwards, maybe just a small amount sideways.
Golemagg isn’t a poor second choice, if all the horde that went from Firemaw to Gehennas went to Golemagg instead we’d end up with another Gehennas sized server.
Worst case they need to pay for a transfer, and it’s currently 30% discount. So… 17 bucks or something. Unless they lock Gehennas, it’s a slight inconvenience. If they DID lock Gehennas, now that would be fun.
Haste pots already more than double the old price, Blizzard needs to increase the layers further to account for the fact the server population increased by 50%. Or they need to send every single one of them back to Firemaw, which would be a much better solution.
I’m sure that those who have 50 characters follow wow news everyday and won’t be caught off guard. ;p The only ones that are at risk to begin with are the casuals with one or two characters who play this game once a week.
Firemaw prices were several times what they were on any other server due to being locked from transfers/new players and also locked on 4 layers max. Gehennas haste pots were 3g each, which is completely normal for TBC pricing.
8g for a haste pot is not dirty cheap, it’s a complete ripoff.
Firemaw pots were basically free when every resource was 68746 pages on auction house thanks to bots … it only went up recently after they locked it and slowly bots went away …
