I basically lost all my names, because they´ve all been taken on Mirage Raceway. Why can´t we have a completely fresh server, so everybody, including the people from Mirage Raceway have to fight for their names again, not just the majority of the english speaking community! I would like to keep my names, but without having to use a million accents… Or take an example from FF14 and solve the problem with surnames or from GW2 and allow names with a space in between, so you can choose to have a surname, a double name or whatever.

Also, am I screwed if I recently transferred to Gehennas by the Transfer Cooldown? That would be very sh*t.

They are not affected by transfer cooldown.
If we lose guild achievements, unlocks, and guild tabs im done. I already paid for guild tabs twice when nethergarde was killed and my guild moved to Pyrewood

This has to be one of the worst, half baked communications in a long while and a massive FU to anyone wanting to keep their names they’ve had since classic launch.

Since original wow had guild realm transfers in cata, why is this not a thing in classic now? considering this is a huge move by you guys you should be allowing the free migration to include full guilds so they dont loos out on achievments, progress and guild bank items.

Stop avoiding the questions. Nobody gives single hoot what the mega realm is called you can make the realm name into “Cute fluffy flying doggies” for all i care. Rather answer, how are you going to handle the guild names, the character names and what about the guild transfer? Probably should pull yourselfs together before going thru with this. How about it?
Honestly hoping this is out of season april fools joke, cuz this feels like decision so stupid and rushed even peeps at Blizzard cant be serious, but maybe im just coping and you have just lost your minds at Blizz HQ.

The people on Mirage talk bad about us Firemaw players because we they probably getting kicked from dungeons, raids, rbgs etc because they cant do simple mechanics etc.

Firemaw is the penal colony of WoW.
There’s some innocents trapped there (we throw a party and commiserate when we find that rare Firemaw player, rarer than the Dodo) but the majority of you guys seem to be uber toxic, uber bad or the wombo combo of both toxic and bad if Group Finder is any indication.
Happy to have you play with your own kind but releasing you into the unsuspecting population is a major lapse of judgement (like anything about this utter horsemanure makes any sense … )

It’s usually because people on Firemaw have zero social skills and appear to think they’re playing a single player game with bots. The kicks usually come with zero explanation or reason because nothing has been said in the entire instance.
I recently was in a celestial group like this with 3 firemaw players and saw my guildee kicked in a group that was going flawlessly because they didn’t like that he wasn’t quite pixel stacked on the dojo part before the 2nd boss in Shado-Pan Monastery and rather than type something like “stack tighter” like an actual human they would rather kick.

Personally I have no interest in being on a “Megaserver” 
So out of curiosity, can we get free character/guild tranfers out of Mirage Raceway when it turns out the influx of people has shot it to hell soon after it’s forced on us?

I look forward to welcoming you all to our realm.
I appreciate some of you are upset at losing your character names but I hope it numbs the blow slightly to know we’re all keeping ours.
See you soon

Because our server is the best, clearly.
What happens to my day1 Vanilla Classic (formed from a pre-existing community and in-game on Launch at 2019)
- Played together through all progressive Classic content (Vanilla > BC > Wrath > Cata > Mists) on Pyrewood Village
- Has a multitude of achievements (some of which we can not re-acquire) a fully unlocked guild bank/heirlooms/profession perks.
- A core of players that feel more like extended family at this point.
- Our guild name.
WHAT EXACTLY happens to that guild when your merry band kills our healthy realm and forces us to transfer?
Leaving aside for a moment all the individual players that are about to lose a virtual identity they have added on for 6+ years

Initial response to this has to be negative, what are the upsides for us existing players?
Mega servers in the other versions have all been early and had some of the issues we’ve been spared; massive competition for nodes, layering issues for grouping, opposing faction members being around killing mobs but not interactable (which we did not have to deal with on mono faction realms).
For MoP there are other issues we’ll have to deal with:
- Rare mobs - Even with increased spawn rates they’ll not be fun to hunt.
- Brawlers guild - Good luck getting to fight in there with mega population.
- Black market auction house - At the moment you compete with the rich players on your realm. You have a chance. On a mega server that will be exclusive for them and we are not going to see 15-20 items up at a time to match the player numbers.
- Off time farms - No longer a thing. At the moment you can, life permitting, play in the off hours to have areas to yourself for farming. With all realms merged that will not be a thing.
And if both PvP and PvE servers always end up mono faction what is to stop our one mega server from going the same way? Why would we not want to all be one faction? Why should we not expect the same to happen to the megaserver? At the moment you can pick a faction and server to match your preference. What’s stopping the future from being a mono faction single server?
