Hi there!
WoW lately got into the point where everyone is happy with the way devs are opened and responsive to the players. The game clearly become a better place that it was in Shadowlands or BfA. But one thing is still remain untouched for past 3-4 years - Servers merging. I believe that no language tabs are exclusion: there are 2-3 giant realms that overpopulated and there are 5-10 more realms that has absolutely no players online. My server used to be top 3 populated server in my language tab and top 1 server populated by the time-zone. Now there is only 2 guilds who went to mythic VotI, only 3 guilds being able to kill Razhaget in Heroic mode.
With the new season came out there are only 5 guilds on my realm who went to Aberrus normal mode. 2 of them had to take pugs as they had 6-7 players only. Same 2 guilds started heroic mode.
With the new cross-faction guild feature that should have been the light at the end of the tonnel, but my realm is 90% hordish and remain Allys are either key runners or RPs. So this aint helping at all.
There are 2 ways to fix this:
- An obvious one: I have to transfer my guild to more populated realm. Easy to say. I’ve been through 3 guild tranfers and there are a lot of valuable players who got lost while its been occured. Plus when you played with your team for 5-10 years you happen to have army of alts, especially when professions are that important. And on top of that guildmaster’s transfer costs even more. I’ve paid enough for that. And I dont want to lose people again.
- Finish the project of merging servers that Blizzes started many years before and left unfinished. Some luckiest realms got 4-7 servers merged together, their population got into Medium. My server has no connections yet.
