Situation on Nagrand/New PvE realm

Ok since Thundgot decided to close another thread (again), I'm startin' this one to keep alive the discussion and justification of a new PvE realm, or on the behalf of my mates on Nagrand, change the recommended tag away!

Unless you have to go through the dark jungles of Kenya to push the button that changes the tag, do it now since you're filling Nagrand and makin' it Lagtown.

And to Thundgot, I have to say I'll be surprised if anything at all happens to the situation during these 12 hours ya got left.

First, thanks for making a thread without a CM nick in the subject. :)

Nagrand will have its Recommended tag removed today (as will the PvP realm Burning Steppes), and Ghostlands and Hellfire will become Recommended at the same time.

And for the record; we've not said there won't be a new realm any time soon. What we do refer to all the time is the FAQ which says we'll let you know through web news and/or a sticky thread when a new realm is approaching.

No number of threads on the subject will change that.

Q u o t e:
Atleast i got the reply i have waited for. And btw, Hellfire and Ghostlands arent that far, population-wise, from the medium tag. So we're closer then ever ;)

Please note that the "Low", "Medium" and "High" tags are relative and current (right this moment), and are not a basis for considerations of new realms. Only the Full and Recommended tags tage the average and peak population of the realm into account.

Q u o t e:
Yet again such a reply, tho it is more satisfying than Ommra's links to Floris' post. By the way, will you let us know on short notice, a day, a week or a month? Or can't you say anything about that atm?

No, that's rather situational, with factors I can't divulge. It may be weeks in advance, and it may be only hours.

Q u o t e:
I wanted to transfer my mains to Nagrand in July, does this mean there will be no transfers open ?

PCT being blocked due to high population takes a bit more than the current population on Nagrand. While I can't guarantee that the population won't increase further I find it unlikely that PCT will be blocked to any English realms in the near future (except if they're not 6 months old yet).

Removed some posts. Thank you for sticking to discussing the topic from now on, not the people participating.
