Wow, it only took you 3 days to acknowledge the complaints!
But I suppose you haven’t had much time inbetween patting yourselves on the back in all of the “GG Blizz best expac yet!” threads and raking in surplus realm transfer fees.
You have failed as a huge company to fix these issues that are lasting for 4 days already.
It is absurd on draenor among other servers, I am unable to play for 4 days, that is 4 days of game time you have stolen from me and other players since you have yet to solve this issue nor offer any sort of compensations.
I have sent a ticket regarding this asking for compensation/refund, if this is not the case then I would happily deal with my bank to refund my money by force.
EDIT: to think of it, this might also be planned by you on these servers so people can buy a transfer which yields you more money, probably because of COVID and you are trying to get more cash in.
I have start to level up new characters on my old realm Ravencrest since I can’t play on Dreanor or Silvermoon. A bit sad to loose the progress and high ilvl on my other chars! And no I won’t pay 20euro for transfer!
Can’t play 10h since I have work/school Monday-Friday 8-17. So yeah I will fall behind big times! But many players have the same issue so there is always that!
3 days to acknowledge and response so we should expect a fix for this year or you will just gonna wait till we stop playing and drop population natural ways? You already got our expansion money and a few months worth sub money so you got what you want so far. If you can squeze a few realm trasfer money over that that should cover lost subs and everything is fine for your side. Because we are just money for you. What a sh.t show.
Today was much better on Draenor, dialling back capacity was definitely the right call. No more eternal loops of trying to connect and the game being so badly lagged out it’s unplayable.
@Miljonair: Approximate number of accounts (people), there are a LOT more active characters, but as you know, some people (like myself) have lots of alts.
you cant just tell us that you working on problem. this event happened just once in a lifetime and it was ruined, i’m still way back than my friends on another realms, i’ve got a huge spoiler of storyline, i wasn’t able to play with my party that i prepared for, worst experience ever.
Another “request” for free transfers to be enabled on Draenor. Waited 4 hours yesterday to get on, to be hit with a 5 min full lock up lag spike in the maw intro.
How hard is it to just give free transfers to people who want them, most people will not go and hope others leave. You did it in classic for horde dominated servers so why can’t you do it for people who cant get on after queues of 2 hours long…
I don’t know why free character migrations haven’t been introduced for these realms. I understand that most people who have strong ties to the servers wont want to move and that’s fine. There are those of us however that would happily hope to another server. Wouldn’t this be the easiest solution and I would imagine it would fix the wait times. but I guess when there is money involved they want people to pay for it.
Easy way to stop this beeing any problems in the future.
Find the limit for any given realm.
Offer free transfer to get the population down to the limit.
STOP ANYONE creating a new toon on that realm that isn’t on the list of users for the realm. Those who take free transfer (for all toons/guild) would be removed from said list.
If not enough people move for free offer some incentives for big guilds to move the entire guild to another server (everyone in guild or something)
Super smooth playtime for everyone every release forever…
Can also increase the numbers when server tech gets better or the engine used supports it. Or when they find the money stashed in the mattress to buy better hardware…
