The Tragedy of Single Faction Servers

The tittle says it all pretty much. We have experienced 2 Classic releases and now entering the third, arguably the most important one. What is the status of the servers where all the people who want to experience the nostalgia and love they felt for the game all these years? Completely ruined by the corporate greed that cares more about transfers then the player experience.
How can nothing be done, while the largest PVP servers are SINGLE FACTION. 20k players, waiting in que as well, for what? To roleplay? The servers are meant to be a pvp realm, where you can meet, interact and sometimes fight the other faction. Some of my best memories in wow are helping or fighting the Horde, depending on my mood.
Wotlk is the arguably the most important expansion of the classic era. I am very afraid that if nothing changes it will lose all the people that private servers have no problem holding on to.
The technology to merge all the servers together is out there. Either that or another drastic measure MUST be taken to breathe life into these forsaken realms.

Have you seen Season of Mastery? It’s already dead, and i’d go so far to say it’s probably just as dead as Classic Era. - As much as it may be uncomfortable, i’d say open transfers, especially for Season of Mastery, and salvage what little there is left, despite you wanting quite the opposite.

Hi mate, this is the Classic Era forum, aka ‘Vanilla’ forum. Maybe your post will gain more traction if you post in the dedicated Wotlk forum.

As for the single faction servers - a tragedy imo… as well botting, GDKP, rat race… etc etc.

Thanks God we have Classic Era to give some sanity to it all.

Good luck in your endeavors though, hope for a good resolution of the problem.

Because.

Your fixated on a problem caused by players being blizzards fault.

You cannot force players to play a faction when u sold a game on a pretense of being able to choose horde or alliance, u kill the possibilitt of people joinjng their friends and more importantly. False advertise yoyr game.

We as players have consumer rights, and no blizzard cannot breache those for rhe sake of ur pvp experience.

Do you remember when this was a problem on live. People played pvp servers cause they tend to be hugely popular for fsctions due to the fact one faction just took over the whole server.

Yeah. Well done. History repeats.

PvP servers dont work. Theyve never worked, they will continue not to work.

Thats why live tried war mode cross servers. Whjch again failed.

World pvp, is pretty much dead and too few realistically give a damn for it.

Do you know why it’s that way? Players chose for it to be that way.

Thank you for the advice, I will move this post there shortly
