Absolutely, and they just kept going and going.
This is by far the strangest part. The death of realms was kind of inevitable with the way game knowledge was getting better and better and content was being zoomed through faster and faster but the way they went with half measures when introducing cross realm just created the worst of both worlds.
Even now a decade later, people on other servers are basically the enemy because of all the server restrictions. That’s not a good thing.
If you meet a player of your faction on another realm, and you will, you will see before you a player that is neither hostile nor friendly.
You may never find the player again. The player does not get in your way as you share kills. The player cannot trade with you. The player cannot craft for you. The player cannot help you beyond just killing mobs alongside you. The player cannot compete with you for resources. Because the content is extremely easy he does not need you, and you do not need him. For anything. As such there is no need to talk, no need to think, and no need to pay attention as the environment and player presence both change around you.
He just… exists. He has no purpose from your point of view; his existence is irrelevant. He’s just there to make it appear as if the zone is full of life, but it is empty and hollow.
World of Warcraft’s MMO aspect is so outrageously broken it’s quite frankly disturbing, and Blizzard doesn’t want to do anything about it… they even made a blue post about how they’d rather not prevent people from playing with each other, would rather not kill realms, they’d rather not have realm caps, and they’d rather not remove factions, all at the same time.
That’s not possible.

The sad part is that they have been doing something about it, they’ve been connecting realms for years but at such a slow pace and the completely wrong servers (dead + dead =/= thriving) that it has amounted to nothing.
Whatever happened to cross realm after the expansion was over? Kazzak somehow felt more lively back then.
i think you should have hired someone professional to write that post
I get some vibes.
Some vibes indeed.

Well it can be pretty difficult to tell whether you’re connected or CRZ’d so I tend to assume it’s just CRZ’d so I don’t ask for or about anything to said person because I risk looking stupid by assuming we could trade - and one way or another it’s definitely going to involve us talking about server infrastructure rather than trading on Azeroth breaking immersion because it breaks the design pillars of world and community.
