Now you are moving hte goalposts. You flat out stated WoW's longevity. That means the entire game, not just the expansion. It is completely ridiculous argument as WoW has already achieved longevity and if it were to be cancelled no way in hell is it going to be because of how the realms are connected and structured.

Why when the end result is the exact same and nobody has to change their names? Not having to change names alone makes connected realms superior and why deleting realms is stupid.
To allow more names basically. If they merged everything that would piss people off because they would lose names unless they started doing last names or hiding numbered names which might get messy with whispers and shit.
That said they could really just connect everything into 3-4 servers but with separate server names, one Normal, one RP, per coast.
I like playing on a quiet """dead""" server. If folks want activity, just transfer to another server.
Tibia barely broke 30k players online at the same time. With smaller populations of players there's a lot less casualties that happen when you take the shotgun approach. The way Blizzard did the hard work behind the scenes makes it much easier on the player and the game as a whole.

i'm glad they are merging deader servers with higher pop servers
blizzard needs to look the previous mergings that failed, dead merged with dead, and deader, and even deader does not = a thriving server
years ago blizzard merged dead servers with dead servers. i had 5 players on demonsoul server, it was merged with 3 other dead servers, the merge was rather unnoticeable. i never deleted those 5 or paid to have them moved. but i rarely to never log them on either. another dead server it was merged with 4 dead servers, i deleted that player 6 years ago rather than pay for a move
Racials still play a huge part, Blizzard keeps saying they want to remove them but never do, they keep saying they want to make it so they don't matter or have an impact on players choices and then they go and make 2 OP racials this expansion. Even after they nerfed the Zandalarian troll racial, that crit is still OP for PVE and PVP. Any movement racial is OP in PVP and M+ like goblins rocket boots jump crap, Blood elf aoe silence is OP in M+.
So naturally the players who want to be the best want to play the best even for an extra 100dps. Alliance don't have that, MAYBE 1 race has a decent racial but do you seriously expect 25 players to all play the same race if they feel forced to do so and have fun?
That's why classic is so 1 sided, alliance always considered to have the stronger PVE racials, but the raid's are so easy that it doesn't matter, which means now a days it's PVP horde racials > alliance pve racials.
Isn't it possible to merge them into single servers, instead of having different servers play together?
They really need to scrap the idea of servers altogether. With how quickly cross-realm invites phase you into new servers and whatnot, it's obvious the technology is there to just have everyone on the same server. The only reason servers exist now is so they can force you to pay for transfers so you can trade with people and raid mythic before 200 guilds kill the last boss. It's dumb and antiquated.
ESO has "megaservers." Do that.
10 years to late.

I wonder how many people stopped playing the game and how many guilds disbanded after a migration from low to a higher population server. Most of the time some people refuse to pay such an absurd price (for a fully automated feature that costs Acti-Blizz $0 and takes few minutes) and it ends up with some people migrating and some people staying. You're losing a customer who pays a sub and quits the game, because he lost his main reason to continue playing (people he likes to play with), but hey - you get a quick buck from suckers who migrate just for the opportunity to escape a dead server. What a great deal.
Migration should be free (on a cooldown if you must protect the server's economy) to whatever server you want, not chosen by Activision-Blizzard "free migration" to low pops nobody wants to play on.
