Hello Blizzard and everyone who should be interested, or have an opinion.
Super hyped for the fresh releases! I’m really looking forward to another round!
I was however a little dissapointed, when i realised, that dead HC characters wont be able to transfer to the fresh PvP realms this time around.
I love the idea and the rush of lvling as far as i can on hardcore, but once my inevitable death accours, (and it will), i’d love to be able to go and goof around and worldpvp on a pvp-realm.
I might not have the required brainpower to understand why it is so with the transfer, so please do enlighten me, if i’ve missed anything.
However, theese are my thoughts about it, and my hopes are obviously, that you, (Blizzard), will consider changing it.
That said, with my before mentioned low amount of brainpower, i’m sure that theese thoughts have already been discussed at the meetings, as there wont be anything mindblowing going on here! I just feel like i had to atleast mention it, knowing “i did what i could”.
Thoughts:
My guess is, that with the wish of keeping a nice balance on the pvp-realms, it’s rather “complicated” to allow players to transfer from a HC-realm, seeing as you wont know, if it’s mostly alliance or hordes comming from there.
However, my big belief is, that it really wont be a problem, and that this “issue” honestly only talks to a small population.
First of all, i believe that the hardcore-part of players, are a rather small part of the huge classic-family. my guess is below 15%?
I also believe, that once people die on the HC-realm, people divide into 4 different groups.
1: "%&#/&! THIS @%&# GAME! NEVER AGAIN! (taking a break… See you again somewhere in Azeroth at some point… We are all addicted).
2: Instant “we go agane”… (Crazy people without human feelings).
3: I love my char and mostly enjoy pve, so i’d like to transfer to the normal-realm.
4: I love my char and mostly enjoy PvP, so i’d like to transfer to the pvp-realm. (Hello, nice to meet you ).
I believe the #4 are a very small amount of people, and i cant imagen, that’s what’s gonna “tip the scales” honestly.
I know, a counterargument would be, that if people really wanna roll a locked faction on the pvp-realm, they could just make it on HC, and then transfer - however, the workaround that, could be, that you’d only be able to transfer there, after lvl 30, a certain amount of /played or something like that. Then it would atleast require a certain amount of commitment.
I believe, that a HC-server is something alot of classicplayers dip their toes in at some point, and being able to transfer wherever you want, after your misserable death, is something that will also help keeping both the HC and non-HC realms alive. I mean, “if you need an alt, why not give it a go on a HC-realm and take up the challenge - you can always transfer it to your main”?
I really hope, that you’d reconsider or atleast convince me why i’m wrong, so i can sleep peacefully again!
i’ll play either way anyways…
See you all soon!
TL;DR.
Please, make it so we can transfer from anniversary HC to anniversary PvP. We wont ruin up the balance - we promise! (I think).
