03/02/2014 10:10Posted by MinerxAs far as I know, these realms are RP PVP and are flagged like this by Blizzard... I'm missing something ?
03/02/2014 10:31Posted by ReddotIt seems that Takralus is having bad day. These realms are PvP.
Gimme a break, it's Monday!

10/02/2014 13:31Posted by McaffeeAny chance of English PVE realms getting some connecting love from you guys as to this date only 2 of these connections have been made versus 15 PVP connections.
Top of my head I would say Bronze Dragonflight & Hellfire are in dire need for a love connection to be made sooner rather then later.
We've nothing against PvE realms at all, there just happened to be more low pop PvP realms, which is why the list is a little PvP heavy right now. We're trying to help some of the smallest realms first, then work our way up to the bigger ones where possible.

English realms doesn't lack RP realms that can be connected as in the Spanish realms, this also happened to a RP-PvP realm somewhere in a non-English realm which got connected to a normal PvP realm, but here the RP-PvP realms with low population got connected together without any normal PvP server, so most likely this will be the case for RP realms.
Whilst likely true, it would be comforting to have an official statement that this is indeed an exception-case.
Because up untill now, I was under the impression that only similair type realms would be connected.
Even if this is an exception, it does bring about the question how it will be handled that rp(pvp) have additional policies that are likely to conflict with policies in place on pve/pvp realms.
This is indeed an exceptional case for Spanish realms, due to the fact there was only one RP and one RP PvP realm. We asked the players on these realms what they would prefer, and this was the option they went for.

18/02/2014 07:42Posted by QahnaarinI honestly don't give a crap. It's all Blizzards fault in the first place they allowed the realms to become neglected which lead to this situation. Now as a result of their negligence all our realms (apart from high pops) are suffering. Quel'thalas used to be a pretty damn good server back in TBC and Wrath now it's pretty much dead, nothing useful on the AH and recruiting is next to impossible.
There's no real hope until we get connected and I don't have hopes of them doing so any time soon and until they do I refuse to spend any more money on this game, WoD pre orders and otherwise, I've given them far more than they deserve.
Realm populations fluctuate for various reasons. We can't force people to stay put on certain realms if they'd rather move elsewhere to play with friends or join guilds etc. We're now in a position, tech-wise, where we can connect realms to help with low populations, and so we're doing that as swiftly as we can while making sure it runs as smoothly as possible. I understand that it can be frustrating if you've been waiting for news on your particular realm, however, please know that we're working hard on it, and as soon as I have any news to share, I will.
Edit: typo :P

18/02/2014 15:47Posted by SareenaAny chance you could let us know which realms are scheduled to be connected to each other?
I have an alt problem that has spilled over onto another realm.
Would like to reduce the number of server transfers as much as possible.
Sadly I can't, because things can change from the plan and we don't want anyone doing anything based on some info we give out that is inaccurate later down the line :(

I do hope the RP realms will start getting connected soon though.
More EN RP realm connections are indeed coming soon :)
21/02/2014 09:56Posted by KhadrynBy the way, will realms that are connected eventually get their own forums?
Yup, we've started with a couple of them already: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/10727893/

21/02/2014 12:18Posted by VoisinAD is big, but wouldn't call it overcrowded.. you still have to search really hard to find any RP. Most of the corwdyness is just people idling in SW
Argent Dawn has queues at peak times, so we're not currently looking to connect it with any other realms.

21/02/2014 12:12Posted by RhyHi, from dragonmaw - i've checked the realm pops for each of the servers listed. Dragonmaw and haomarush are more or less faction balanced, but both spinebreaker and vashj are horde dominated with only about 50 active alliance players each. Are there going to be more connections and will they be from more alliance dominant realms to balance off vashj and spinebreaker?
When all realms have been connected to this group (including any not shown), the faction balance should be close. However it's obviously a little hard to predict exactly.

The Laughing Skull connection which was originally due for this week will hopefully go ahead next week now, then Sunstrider should be the week after if all goes to plan.
Just FYI, as the connections get bigger, it sometimes takes longer for the process to complete which is why we occasionally have to postpone things. But we're super aware that you guys are keen to see the connections go through, so we do all we can to make sure it goes ahead :)

@Trelw
@Takralus
The main issue and the prime reason for frustration for many is that when you are on a medium pop realm, that in theory should function pretty good, but in reallity is struggling hard. You have no idea if Blizzard is actually seeing the major issues affecting your realm sinse they refuse to tell anyone about there plans and who can expect to be connected.
The not knowing part is what are making people agring. Even knowing for sure that your realm would not be connected would be better, as you would then know what you had to work whit. Then you could decide to stay on your dead realm or move on. As it is now all we can do is hope and the longer that goes on the more people will give up whit the game, there server og whit Blizzard.
All people are really asking is for Blizzard to face up and be honest about there ideas and plans.
I understand. However, plans change all the time (as you can see from this week's connections), so telling people what we think we may do way in advance really isn't wise, because if/when it changes, people may be disappointed. Just trust me when I say we know which realms need connecting, and we'll get to them all. I wouldn't advise anyone on a low population realm to consider moving until they've seen what the situation on their realm is like when the connections are done. Please just hang on in there, we're getting to you!

Again..no PVE Realms...
My thoughts exactly...why not tho is what I wonder...
Because, as we've said multiple times before, we're helping people on realms with lower populations first. More PvP realms are in a worse situation than PvE realms, hence they're being connected first. Simples.
#499 - Feb. 28, 2014, 1:10 p.m.
28/02/2014 12:59Posted by LucisaWhy in the world are low pop PvP realms be in worse state than PvE? If nothing PvE players (guilds) on low pop realms can have more problems finding recruits for raids etc...At least they should be connected evenly,not 99% of them being PvP...
You're suggesting PvE realms get priority over PvP realms with lower populations because of raiding? Players on PvP realms raid too, ya know.

Uhm....I believe I wrote "they should be connected evenly" so dont put words in my..post o.O :p
Sorry, I misunderstood you. However, as we've said, players on lower population realms have a harder time of finding people for raids & trading in the auction house etc., so we're trying to connect many of the lowest realms first. The realm type doesn't factor into the order.

So the people on Laughing Skull or Bloodscalp should wait while we connect a higher population PvE realm, one that's already in a better situation than either of those realms?

I for one trust, that you people in Blizzard are doing these mergers in the order you feel is best for the most people. We as players tend to look very hard on the issues our own server have and tend to ignore servers whit the same or even worse problems.
As i have mentioned before in this threat. I strongly belive that you would gain a lot more from the community by comming out whit you plan for these connections. Than you would stand to lose is you would haev to whitdraw a few of these prommises.
I know, as I said before, I totally get why people feel so passionately about it. Please know that we do too though :)
All I can currently do is reveal our latest plans as they are decided (which are still subject to change). I will continue to try to share as much as I possibly can.
#513 - Feb. 28, 2014, 2:29 p.m.
28/02/2014 14:06Posted by AnrokaIt would help us in the community of these realms a lot to know if we can expect more connections to the Moonglade/The'Shatar connection, so we know how to best shape the community.
Another connection is currently planned for that group, but this may change of course depending on population levels :)

Still waiting to see how things pan out, but we're not currently planning to add more realms to the Darkmoon Faire/Earthen Ring connection.
28/03/2014 09:32Posted by TéacupOk, I have to ask because the wait is driving me crazy; Will Steamwheedle Cartel ever get connected?

28/03/2014 10:10Posted by ColfernosThats a shame really..
I seen server be merged into fives.. that would help the 5 minor Role Play servers if they became one. Seems a lot are hoping for this to happen.
Connecting all five of the low/medium population EN RP realms would result in mild queues at quiet times for players on those realms, and hours of waiting to log on at busy times :(

Would it really be the case if all except AD were connected, it'd make queues? I always thought all except AD were suffering in a minor way.
You're right, apologies, I edited my post to clarify I was talking about the low/medium population realms. Argent Dawn often has queues by itself so it won't be connected to any others. But yeah as I said, the others aren't as small as, say, some of the PvP ones we've been connecting.

28/03/2014 11:51Posted by MammothTakralus, while you're commenting, do you have any comments on the BB/DT connection?
Being told that this is now a Cz realm and that you should transfer gets old fast.
We're aware of the situation and we're monitoring events. As this is something that's related to DT/BB, it's better to move the discussion away from the general Connected Realms thread over to the realm forums. I posted in this thread earlier just to nominate a main thread where we can focus the feedback, any updates we have will most likely be posted there :)
28/03/2014 10:33Posted by GraendalThanks for the update Takralus. Seeing as there are only a few EN PvP realms left now and considering the fact you said you are done with the Darksorrow/Genjuros/Neptulon connection, does that mean that you're not planning anything for Twilight's Hammer? I'm sorry if I come across as needy or nosy but the suspense has been killing me lately. :(
It's currently on the list for a future connection, however, I'll insert my standard reminder here that if numbers change too much, so may our plans. Stay tuned!

28/03/2014 14:22Posted by QahnaarinStill going to push for my realm to be connected regardless.
There's a short Q&A in the original post about which realms will be selected for connection, and when that might be. Unfortunately, "pushing" for it more does not have any effect of the the date we can connect realms, nor will it in future. There are lots of factors that dictate which realms are connected and when, most of them technical.
Just keep checking this thread for updates each week. The current population level of your realm (Quel'Thalas) means it is likely to be connected at some point, bearing in mind this may change of course.
28/03/2014 13:13Posted by EkaliathWhen will Tarren Mill be connected, its like 85% hord over 15 % allie :(( cant even play timeless isle.

The team is most definitely working on connected-realms-related things right now, but it's mostly things that you aren't able to see on your end. I'm not involved in all the techy stuff (and I probably wouldn't understand it even if they explained it to me) but yes, they are and have been working throughout the pause in connections, looking into any unexpected consequences of past connections, and to make sure that upcoming connections cause as little disruption as possible for everyone, both in-game and here behind the scenes :)

This is exactly the reason. Lack of communication, when Takralus came in here and commented, that was good, but its been silent for over a month. I would much rather her come in and say something constructive about it rather than do nothing, say nothing or communicate through Trelw
Unfortunately I have nothing new to add right now. As you know, realm connections are on hold while we complete the back end work. As soon as we have some news to share about further connections, we'll update this thread.

Great, wonderful, fantastic....
Until recently I couldn't wait to get connected but being connected with Azjol is a massive mistake that'll tip the numbers heavily in favour of the alliance. Our auction house will still suck among many other things, tell me Takralus, do you randomly pick names out of a hat and decide damn the consequences?
I played on Grim Batol in times past and the faction balance was horrific. I had hoped other realms wouldn't suffer such one sidesness but that's exactly what Azjol is going to bring with our connection. I would like to know some of Blizzard's insights as to how this is a good thing for us horde players.
We take a number of things into consideration when choosing which realms to connect, and faction balance is definitely one of them. We've managed to create better faction balance through connected realms in a number of cases, but sadly it isn't possible for everyone because Alliance players outnumber Horde on EU PvE realms.
In an ideal world, there would be just as many Horde-heavy realms as Alliance, but that's just not the case. The situation is reversed on PvP realms, where Alliance are generally in the minority. We're trying to help them too, but as I said, we can't balance everything out because the numbers aren't equal.
#2302 - June 19, 2014, 8:50 a.m.
So what? You went and found a big alliance realm with next to no balance and shoved it down our throats? Try reading my previous post. Quel'thalas isn't what it once was but it's till a hell of a lot more balanced than Azjol Nerub. This change will NOT help those of us playing on Horde much at all, it'll be fantastic for the alliance but not for us and what would be your grand response to that huh? To tell me that maybe you'll add another realm at some point within the next 10 years given how these connections have been going.
After the connection there will be more horde players for you to interact with, more things for sale in the auction house, more people to recruit for guilds. I understand that you would have liked to be connected with a realm that had more Horde players, but when most PvE realms are Alliance-heavy, that's difficult to accomplish.

Or maybe the connection will still be too low so they will match these three(two) with different realms with a bit healthier medium populations?
All going well, we might have news on the Dentarg connection next week, but it's unlikely to be connected with the realms you mentioned. We do plan to add another realm to Xavius/Skullcrusher though. Usual disclaimer, things may change of course. Stay tuned :)

Sorry about that Yocoplox. Try logging out of Battle.net completely, clear your Internet browser's cache and cookies, then reset your Battle.net password. If it's still not showing after that, then you'll just have to hang on a little longer while the database catches up after the connection.

Just trying to keep this thread (somewhat) on topic! Makes it harder for people to find the info and discussion they come here for if folks chat about other things amongst it all ;)

15/07/2014 08:46Posted by Maria15/07/2014 08:35Posted by Trelw@Maria: That connection is indeed of most benefit to Dentarg as a whole, but it will also help the relatively tiny alliance of TM a bit
True. It will help the tiny Dentarg population but it's still strange because they stated that only low and some medium realms will be connected. Tarren Mill is a high pop realm.
Tarren Mill is one of the larger medium population realms, partially due to the highly popular FCMs we opened to it earlier this year. It should be a great improvement for Dentarg players :)

15/07/2014 10:07Posted by AnvarraMy personal reason to ask was that with my mailbox still being screwed up I've started to send my mail to storage toons on Darkspear (as they still have space) and hence wouldn't be elated, to put it mildy, if suddenly the Terokkar-Darkspear connection went *poof*.
The connections are permanent, so please don't worry that you'll find yourselves separated again. To clarify, Terokkar/Darkspear is due to be connected to Saurfang tomorrow :)
15/07/2014 09:51Posted by AgatonePlease can we have ETA on armoury for characters affected by realm connection:
The Maelstrom / Deathwing / Karazhan / Lightning's Blade
The following blue post gives the impression that it should of been fixed by now:

Thanks
The armory issue is a known side effect of realm connections I'm afraid, but in most cases it resolves itself in a few days. If it goes on for a prolonged period of time, please report it in the Customer Support forum.

31/07/2014 05:08Posted by DejadeuxP.S @ Tak, I'll ask once again, please stop drip feeding us information. We deserve better and for a community facing representative tasked with keeping the playerbase up to date on something that is important to them your performance has been pathetic at best. This has been a work in progress for Blizzard for almost 6 months. It's just not good enough.
We can only pass on information that we actually have. The schedule is worked on and updated constantly, and once we know which realms are to be connected, we share it with you guys. I understand everyone is keen to see their realm connected, believe me I do. I play on these realms too. Connecting realms is not straightforward though, and we're progressing at the speed that we're able to when all the necessary steps and precautions have been taken.

23/08/2014 04:28Posted by AnrokaWould it be possible for you to give an indication about how long it will reasonably take for us to get a shared Moonglade/TheSha'tar/SteamwheedleCartel Forum, after the connection is complete? :)
I try to get the new realm forums up on the Friday after the final realm has been connected to the group, so it should only be a couple of days. If for some reason I'm away, it could be a little longer though :)

03/09/2014 16:45Posted by Trelwbecause Takralus' latest update only has that one German connection for the 9th (which interestingly enough is a Tuesday, not Wednesday)
Sorry, my bad! Corrected to the 10th.
03/09/2014 23:13Posted by ShriukanSo now that all 5 english RP-PvP realms have been connected, when can we expect to have the respective realm subforums merged as well?
I usually create the group's new forum on the Friday after the final connection, so it should be tomorrow! (Update: it's up now!)
#3888 - Sept. 4, 2014, 9:22 a.m.
04/09/2014 09:32Posted by TheocottDoes that mean the Quel'thalas/Azjol Nerub connection should expect another realm added to it? Since we haven't got a merged forum yet.
Thanks for highlighting that, seems they slipped through the net. I'll add the new forum for those realms tomorrow, apologies for the delay!
Edit: Got it done today instead :)

09/09/2014 14:12Posted by LahisWhen will you fix the Armory for merged realms? After the Turaylon-Doomhammer merge, all armory functions for characters on Doomhammer are broken (and have been for any merged realms in the past).
Kinda sucks to not be able to use Mobile Armory app anymore, not to mention I can't find my characters in the website either.
It's normal for Armory functions to be down for a time after realm connections, you can find out more in the thread on the support forum: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/11325183265

The CRZ on RP realms was indeed planned, but we've noted your feedback on it. Stay tuned :)

01/10/2014 17:10Posted by NymiAs someone playing on both AD and the other RP servers, I just want to add my voice to the "Please reconsider this decision" group. AD is a special beast, and I think you would be taking something away from the other RP realms by lumping them in with AD. Hook them up with each other, by all means, but please not AD. These smaller realms function in a different way. Not better or worse, but different. And the people that play WoW want different things. Please take that into consideration and undo this link.
Okay, I have news. Changes will be made to how CRZs between AD and the other RP realms work in the coming weeks :)

Are we allowed to ask what kind of changes?
We're always allowed to ask. If we get an answer or not though is never certain. Most likely we won't untill they're ready to implement it.
Thanks for the hard work as always, Tak.
The changes mean that players on AD and those on the other RP realms should come into contact less often :)
