No, they said that would do that back in Cataclysm.
Why don’t you combine all the PVP servers into one and all the PVE servers into one? And there are two megaservers left, one PVP and the other PVE.
It seems like a bad joke that there is no PVP server in Europe.

if you would make more than 1 server it would defeat all purpose of doing it anyway. People had YEARS to start caring about this and they didn’t. This is not on Blizzard, despite them being a questional company.
No. In Cataclysm they wanted to merge dead realms into alive ones. That’s why they locked bunch of realms. Let’s not rewrite history to try to justify this aborted idea that is on the table right now

Yes and no, they already talked about mega servers on twitter.
Just sit on this until WoD classic if it exists, it’s absolutely crazy to spring this on people mid-expansion.
The populated realms have had the same stable numbers since the middle of Cata, there’s no crisis that needs fixing. Just no need for this, nobody was asking for it.

Can you open up free faction changes at the same time, please? It would be great to give all PvE and PvP players a chance to settle in their new home in the way that they want. I personally just paid to transfer away from MR 2 months ago and will now have half of my characters on opposite factions on the same server (buying 20+ transfers was not an option). Let us fix this mess ourselves. Thanks.

Pagle isn’t a new realm?
Great. It’s not like I wanted to continue using the character names I’ve had for five years. Thanks.
And our guild perks? Yeah, just start from scratch I guess. Again.
Honestly feeling like this is the time to draw a line under Classic.

Would be nice if you can explain more to people for me this change is very overwhelming and come too fast. Last week it was just a plan for the future one week further its reality and not a plan anymore.
What will happen to Guilds? Some of them exist since vanilla and farmed maybe some guild achievements together or the Guild perks. Also the Guild Banks are completly filled with stuff now they have to watch to transfer all this stuff to another server ?

Why is a server with 2k players the destination of 70k+?
i’d assume its for economical reasons. you cant make a good decision here to be honest. you either push people from healthier, smaller economy into an inflated, already broken economy (see Mirage players to Gehennas) or the gigaswipers/flippers getting pushed into a smaller healthier economy. No one wins in this case. unfortunately, i cant come up with any other reason 
dont make too much sense. initially i thought they would either make a new server or force everyone to merge with Firemaw. (since its slightly bigger than Gaehennas)
I suppose this decision should make it clear to you why private servers are often perceived as doing better than you. Your predecessors left you with a diamond of a game, and over the years you have managed to erode much of what made it special.
Shutting down PvP servers without proper consideration or dialogue with your community is not just disappointing, it demonstrates a lack of respect for the player base that kept this game alive for nearly two decades.
I sincerely hope that, if you continue down this path, players will find alternatives that value their engagement and passion more than you currently do.

They could just connect auction houses - that’s already the case in other game modes and seems far less disruptive.

People are (un)intentionally blocking names by simply having existed on Mirage Raceway well before this announcement was ever made.
It is one thing to merge to a completely new server and have people yet again fight for names that they already have on separate servers. It is another to simply pick one server as the ‘chosen one’ and let those people keep their names no matter how much later they claimed it than someone with the same name on a different realm. Mind that the latter should be irrelevant anyway - everyone should be allowed to keep their name - but it just makes it even worse.
You are going to be depriving tens of thousands of people their character name.

I mean true but what about server populations getting slimmer? Making servers connected like they are on Retail would be disastrous. Firemaw players are already stigmatized by Mirage players. Imagine trying to pug like that if a portion of the community hates your guts. Im not against this change BUT i disagree with the method they chose to go down with.

You get utterly shafted. You start your guild again, you try to get as many of your players back in as you can. You re-do all of the guild achievements and you spend tens of thousands of gold on guild vault slots again. Because screw you for being a paying customer.
This is how it has gone for my guild twice now.
