you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. they did merges in the past, they just don’t want to do it often. I won’t reply to your posts since you don’t know what you’re talking about and just throw characters into a post
okay and that’s what we say. we know FOR SURE that they are empty since we PLAY in them. we feel it. we don’t “think they’re empty”. we are sure that they are empty.
I know “Low” is not the same as “Medium” but if Medium means more people than on a Full realm in 2006 even Low realms could at least potentially have very healthy population.
dude if you scroll a bit through the forums, you’ll see how many are crying about empty Dragonfang. I’m not the only one fighting this battle. and honestly I am glad that this thread gets bumped by you and more people will see it
The problem with (unrestricted) paid transfers is that they inevitably lead to players transferring to servers where their faction is dominant. This is how retail ended with every server being alliance only (horde only).
Merges on the other side may work if Blizzard is willing to be extremely cautious about faction ratios when merging. But that can happen only after population has settled and layering is disabled. Now is a bit too early because the hype us still high, a lot of people that came just out of curiosity or to experience the launch are still here. As I said, IMO the right time to do it would be after the pop settled enough for layering to be removed, i.e. when pop and faction ratios are more stable. That would ensure that servers will remain healthy for longer period.
