Rip retail
- - - Updated - - -
Our entire retail guild quit during BFA and went for classic(40 man circa). I know damn much people who ditched bfa for classic and still do. Retail bfa is just absolutely terrible. But I guess some people like farming mounts so they can show how gay they are.
Probably not. If you leave a realm because it's low pop, you probably go to something very high pop. The realms that get connected are usually both on the lower end.
Rather poor trolling attempt. Classic is already pretty much dead, and outside of a couple guilds that like to speedrun 20 year old raids it was mostly just a fad that has passed.
I like having megaserver a lot.ESO and GW2 have done it exceptional.
Retail died in Vanilla RIGHT ;D
Farming mounts may make me 'gay' , but at least I'm not being Cucked into playing Classic when it's literally push one button every 6 seconds to win..
People parsing 99's - Literally every single person I look up on classic is parsing 99.. like what.. also the fight lasted 29 seconds - what is that you hit 5 buttons?
I don't even need to continue - BFA would destroy you, and I don't even have to lift a finger
I don't understand whats the point in having all these realms on retail while so many of them are just dead. Just merge them all into mega servers like in ESO and allow characters to have surnames to avoid the same name problem.
it's pretty obvious. as wow dies there will be more and more low population servers and running them costs more than it's worth. WOW is shrinking. it's dying a slow death.
You dont understand the concept of speed runs. I dont care if its hard or not hard. I only care to compete for the fastest kill times. Every single thing in classic is harder than retail except for raiding. Retail wow is at his worst state since ever and I hope shadowlands is going to change that.
WoW servers are not like the old ones, the current day WoW servers are all in the cloud and it's the reason why if too many people are in one zone is lags the fuck out.
Back to the topic, maybe now Blizzard can remove the forced aspect of CRZ/sharding and if the realm gets too many people add layers. CRZ/Sharding is fucking pointless seeing randoms around in the world as they might as well be npcs.
Sounds like a good way to get people to quit for no real good reason.

I mean, yes and no, wow still has their Datacenters with physical servers (though they are not physically locked to one server anymore, resources can be shared), but during launches and things I have heard they outsource a bit to deal with overflow.
"We aren't going to call it a server merge because the priciest character services in the industry are just too damn sweet to give up on" - Blizzard, friend to the consumer.
I'd welcome (and am welcoming) such decisions, but fact of presence of CRZ/CR-LFR(G) in global sense spoils the whole "barrel of honey" here (with work of "connected/merged realms") because it doesn't allow them to fully (read: at least somehow effectively) fulfill their proper functions
