This is so, so sad. I cannot believe that Blizzard would act in such a way, giving barely 48 hours of notice before closing transfers out of a server is not enough time.
Several of our beloved guild members, who we have come to view as a small family over the last few months, were unable to login or check our discord over the last 2 days, and therefore completely missed the transfer.
Why? Well, because they work, have children, have family etc. It is very strange that unless you see a random forum message in 2 days your ENTIRE GAME gets completed destroyed. These are not the kind of people who can re-roll, as it takes months to level up when you have adult responsibilities.
Blizzard, I plead with you to please open paid or free transfers out of Flamelash! (I am okay with paid too, yes, we just want our friends!)
Edit: Please allow migrations for horde too obviously! Many are in the same situation. I am not trying to faction-blame here.
Edit 2: Why didn’t we transfer before the last 2 days? = We were not planning on migrating initially, as we believed BG’s being released might solve the situation, and there was NO indication that Blizzard would suddenly close transfers before that date. Then, when they suddenly announced they were closing transfers with only 48 hours notice, mass panic took over the server and everyone began leaving. THIS is why we, as a guild, were forced to make a sudden decision, and some of our members were unavailable during these 48 hours due to adult life responsibilities.
