What is the reasoning behind locking off several zero-queue servers? You are screwing over:
Players who can’t join their guild or friends.
Players who can’t get their alts who are stuck on dead servers.
This is a huge amount of players combined, and you are completely ruining the WotLK hype for those it affects. Your reasoning was queues, yet there are no queues at all.
UNLOCK FIREMAW, GOLEMAGG AND PYREWOOD!
We are not moving elsewhere, we are quitting the game.
so players are to blame for inadequate infrastructure? the whole server thing is by design, people are herded from server to server and blizzard cashes in every time.
They locked the servers to stop the servers completely breaking on WOTLK launch. These complaint threads are pointless, your guildies and friends had a hell of a lot of time and notice to sort this out LONNNG before these servers were recently locked.
If they open the servers then nobody can play WOTLK on launch day, that’s the reality. Firemaw/Golemagg in particular have enough players to cripple the servers on WOTLK launch. Firemaw was already lagging like crazy during prepatch.
Sad truth. I know that my guild has only few people that will trulely miss me if I am gone. The others would just say “Oh well, that was a good raider.” but will replace me without hesitation.
It’s totally insane. I want to play with my friends on Pyrewood. I leveled a DK to 70 to do it now, but I wanted to play my hunter main. I’m taking up the exact same amount of server capacity but I can’t play the class I want.
And there are no queues. And no free transfers away from Pyrewood. It doesn’t make sense to me.
