Yes, stopped playing since on a dead realm
Yes
No
Intresting tweet by Cory Stockton, wonder what do they have in mind, or is this just a lot of talk...?

Yes to the low pop fusion !
Definitly yes, they should swallow their pride.
They really should just merge servers, but they are going to try the virtual servers first to see if that brings back old players. I think the whole merging servers issues is probably a touchy subject with blizzard, since it would mean they would be openly admitting the dropping subs are hurting the game. Since almost every other mmo out there had to do this to keep their games going.
When I quit wow for swtor when it launched, there were a lot of servers, and they were all full to the point it was causing serious lag. But after the first 6 months, after people hit max level and decided(like myself) that the game wasn't for them, mass people started quitting and leaving many servers totally dead. So they merged all their servers.
Same happened with rift and gw2. Merging servers is a good thing, but it is admitting that your player base is dropping.
What doesn't kill you, only makes you stranger
They're making virtual realms because of low population realms and the obvious problems with just merging them together.
The way that Blizzard is handling it (Connected Servers) is the best way possible (in my opinion) but I think it took too long.
I like what they have been doing. Thje LF stuff and CZR features are great. A forced merge or transfer means potentially renaming all my toons n shit, that's IS what caused me to leave SWTOR. Day 1 beta tested and early entry to build character names and legacy, to have them shit upon with mergers... made most of my characters pointless.

i live by one motto! "lolwut?"
I'm not certain why this needed to be revived again after several months of inactivity. And discussion about GW2 is off-topic anyway.
Since connected realms are now nearly upon us the premise of the OP is largely irrelevant.
In any case, closing. Feel free to discuss connected realms in any of the threads already open about it or start a new one if there's something new to say about it.
Thanks.
