What Blizzard needs to do, and soon, is code up a guild move feature that guarantees everybody with the tag gets to move. The reason why people don't move is because of guilds.
They could also add some conveniences like allowing people to reserve names by making new characters on the transfer server and if they've never been logged into before, when moving it just auto-deletes them for you and moves your guy over without forcing a name change. Just do things that mitigate the risks of moves and make it easier.

Alright cool thanks, ill have to try and hit an empty layer, any specific spots or just roamed north to central barrens back n forth.
Also what builds are you guys going for warlocks been so long since ive leveled im only 29 rn but ive got 12in affl / 8 in Demo , ive kinda wanted to go all affliction so i get siphon life asap then go into demo tree, what do you guys think?
Only makes sense right? i bet the amount of people who never played classic greatly outnumbers the ones of us who have, our returning players arent frothing at the mouth for this the ones who came back did it for nostalgia they came back to try and get the "first time experience" we all talk and gloat about.
I would like to see numbers of people who played classic wow that also came back for this, vs the amount of first timers from retail
what a gross fuck, the way he skeedaddles away from his PC when he has to take a piss i can guarantee hes not washing his hands, grimey ass motherfucker

That data doesn't exist, because many players no longer have their original WoW accounts because they quit before battle.net integration happened. I'd show up as a new player who never played WoW in your statistic.

I'll keep an open mind. It's been quite a while so my memory may be fucky, but I seem to remember that when they had xrealm but small battlegroups it wasn't such a big deal. It wasn't the same, but it relieved the queues to the point that it was a net boon. I just think there's probably another way they could have handled it. We've got 3-4+ times the population of those old servers on each server now. If faction imbalance is an issue causing queues, offer incentives to the underrepresented faction. We sure the fuck know that population won't be an issue.
It may be that yes, technically 1.12 had xrealm bgs, but idk, I feel like the problem they were solving then wouldn't necessarily exist now, and with the major theme of classic being "reestablish server communities" this seems like a misstep.

I PvPd extensively and recall being ecstatic when they brought in the cross realm battlegroups. Was stupid steamrolling the same people for months on end otherwise. Cross realm brought in diversity and a greater challenge. Definitely do want. Single server BGs made the grind that much more boring.

I dont think it really matters. These mega servers they have now might as well be a server cluster with cross realm shit, TBH. and for the instanced PvP grind, Id rather have a healthy and quick queue rather than some bullshit community feature that no one gives a shit about. Its not like you can communicate with the other faction anyway. And if yorue not solo queuing, then youre with your guild anyway pub stomping away.

Same here, but for different reasons. My group was excited simply because horde queue times on my server were fucking bonkers, it made PVP really frustrating. The xrealm bgs reinvigorated the game for us.
I just worry about the cost, maybe being too nostalgic but I liked the rivalries we had with the alliance on our server, and competing with people you know is always more fun than roflstomping randos. idk, like mkopec said, the servers are already huge anyway, maybe much ado about nothing.

I just picked up the herbs while questing. Skim the mountain edges and tree clumps while moving through the zone.
Siphon isn’t worth casting when you’re grinding single target mobs that die in ~12 seconds but it is great for multiple target pulls. You do want to beeline to Dark Pact because drain tanking with a succubus is much better than using a void walker at 30+ and draining her mana with a DP or two between mobs on top of lifetap means literally zero downtime.
After Dark Pact I’d recommend going into destro because Bane lets you do decent dps in 5mans when trash mobs only live for <10 seconds and shadow burn is also very useful.
