The server is absolutely trashed for Alliance players. I made my character in Classic Vanilla and the server was well balanced, but since then the server balance has become 99.9%+ Horde.
There are no pug raids, prices are up to literally >100x the price on other servers (if there are any items on the AH at all), the “Mograine EU Discord” has literally no Alliance posts ever, it’s 100% just a Horde Discord now, you can barely even fill 2 ICC raids for the WHOLE ALLIANCE per week, it’s impossible for anyone to get pre-raid gear for ICC because there are no pugs and the 1.5 functioning guilds don’t run any raids outside of 1-2 ICC and VOA per week.
Blizzard could literally fix this in a heartbeat and offer transfers off-server to Alliance players, but they’re so desperate to squeeze any money they can out of their players, they force you to stay (and not play), or to pay up. You can’t even make the argument of “they want to keep the Alliance side alive” because it’s already long dead.
I made a character on Horde to see what it’s like on their side, and their LFG chat is filled with pugs, guilds, people advertising raids, AH is very healthy, and yet on Alliance you won’t see a SINGLE LFG or even a single post in /2 or /4 all day.
It makes no sense either, because I have an attachment to my character that I’ve had since Classic Vanilla and want to keep my character, I would spend £100s on subs to play through the rest of WOTLK and Cata, but instead I’m literally just going to quit because I’m not going to pay for a problem that Blizzard are creating. Try to force me to pay £20? You get nothing.
