As it happens, of course we are aware that Silvermoon is extremely Alliance dominated. What you are not taking into account is that it is also very highly populated in general. We cannot send anyone of any faction to that realm using FCMs without causing more harm than good. So the focus needs to be on reducing the Alliance side more, to allow space for more Horde. This is why we have Alliance only FCMs away from the realm. ]]> no-reply@wowraid.com (Wryxian) Sat, 13 Mar 2010 12:40:57 +0100 WoW EU forum http://wowraid.com/tracker/b25/t12878617896/1003-realms--free-character-moves.html#101 http://wowraid.com/tracker/b25/t12878617896/1003-realms--free-character-moves.html#101 no-reply@wowraid.com (Wryxian) Sat, 13 Mar 2010 12:32:43 +0100 WoW EU forum http://wowraid.com/tracker/b3/t23767607129/mobile-authenticator-warning-message.html#0 http://wowraid.com/tracker/b3/t23767607129/mobile-authenticator-warning-message.html#0

A bit confused by this... the FCMs are at your choosing (based on what we have available). So if you choose to send all characters to one realm, they will go to that one realm. Does that make it clearer? :-) ]]> no-reply@wowraid.com (Wryxian) Fri, 12 Mar 2010 11:18:12 +0100 WoW EU forum http://wowraid.com/tracker/b25/t12878617896/1003-realms--free-character-moves.html#47 http://wowraid.com/tracker/b25/t12878617896/1003-realms--free-character-moves.html#47 I have a couple of questions.

Currently I'm on Argent Dawn which is perhaps a little too busy for me. I have two (soon to be three before this thread is posted) characters on this server. Can I transfer them all to the same server? I don't have a preference which server so long as it's the same type and not ridiculously underpopulated (that would be rather self defeating), so how do i know the population of the destination?

Thanks. For our Normal RP realms, as you know Argent Dawn is by far the highest populated and indeed usually has queues. As you can see, we have FCM from Argent Dawn to all the four other Normal RP realms, all of which have a similar population to each other. All four are Alliance dominated to some degree (as is Argent Dawn), but The Sha'tar and Earthen Ring are somewhat more faction balanced than the others.

And just to add, none of them are what could be called underpopulated.

I am quite sure the only thing that will do is make the horde on the low pop horde servers migrate to a place with high pop horde and just make the situation worse on all servers. Why not just admit that some servers are beyond rescue and start merging? Since Boulderfist is recommended for New Players and since we have FCMs going to it (and Alliance characters are already using those FCMs), let's say we are cautiously optimistic. Whatever the case, I think you can see with both the New Player tag and FCMs to Boulderfist, we are quite focused on improving the overall state of this realm. Which, one might argue, should be seen as a good thing :-) ]]> no-reply@wowraid.com (Wryxian) Fri, 12 Mar 2010 10:32:42 +0100 WoW EU forum http://wowraid.com/tracker/b3/t23766796792/the-nation-of-warcraft.html#145 http://wowraid.com/tracker/b3/t23766796792/the-nation-of-warcraft.html#145
So you see, from my observation of a sample size of roughly 25,000 individuals (while small and skewed), the outcome seemed promising in regard to the population as a whole.

Interesting that so many people instantly apply negative stereotypes to their fellow gamers and ignore the diversity and complexity that makes up a playerbase as vast as eleven million is apt to be.

Yeah it just takes one person to press Need after everyone's pressed Greed on the Frozen Orbs and you miss out.

Wouldn't the majority of conflict take place in the game itself? It thus follows that the murder rate would drop accordingly.

We have extended the realm conversion of Darrowmere from a PvP to PvE designation until Tuesday, March 16th during our regularly scheduled maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience this delay may cause.

Please continue reading for more information on this conversion:

As part of our continued efforts to balance the World of Warcraft player population across all realms, we will be converting one of our lower-population PvP realms - Darrowmere -- to a Normal PvE realm. For players on Darrowmere, we will be offering Free Character Moves to alternate PvP realms both before and for several weeks after the conversion takes place. This will allow us to continue to support healthy communities on the realms and help new players transition easily into the community.

The conversion will take place on Tuesday, March 16, with the Character Moves opening on March 3 and lasting until April 6. Upon being converted to Normal PvE, Darrowmere will be given the "New Players" flag to ensure an influx of players over the coming weeks.

The following are the destination realms for Free Character Moves off of Darrowmere:
Alterac Mountains of the Nightfall battlegroup is an Eastern time zone realm

As being a Mage, I am somewhat confused on how this mastery is going to work for us, for we tend to need to subclass into our trees' just to make out for well rounded DPS, so what are they looking at for us in that retrospect, and for the armor. We can only wear cloth armor, so is that going to change, or are you revamping the Mage class all-together to benefit from other types of armor? If you can please give a brief explanation to the plans for a Mage, it would be truly appreciated, especially since no one really asked about that specific class.

Mages will continue to wear cloth, but the armor value provided by cloth will be increased in Cataclysm. As for class specific talent changes, as well as information regarding new spells and abilities -- you'll just have to wait a little longer. ;) ]]> no-reply@wowraid.com (Eyonix) Thu, 11 Mar 2010 23:01:03 +0100 WoW US forum http://wowraid.com/tracker/b49/t23710210871/mastery-system-preview.html#290 http://wowraid.com/tracker/b49/t23710210871/mastery-system-preview.html#290

This is a little meandering and wandering as I worth through several throughts

It's going to happen, I understand that, but this seems like overkill to me. Granted, to date (I joined the party late) I've only really played a warrior (arms to level, Fury/Prot to Raid upon hitting 80). I've never really had a problem with the top-of-the-tree talent. My frustration has been with the bottom of the tree filler.

I always end up looking at my specs and seeing 3-5 points essentially thrown into low-level filler talents.

Maybe this won't be as much of an issue, but to be honest, I hope as much time is spent making low-level talents useful as figuring out the this new system.

Yes, low level talents will be looked at extensively. The talent tier just above the 51-point talent was just a good example. ]]> no-reply@wowraid.com (Eyonix) Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:56:48 +0100 WoW US forum http://wowraid.com/tracker/b3/t23710210871/mastery-system-preview.html#291 http://wowraid.com/tracker/b3/t23710210871/mastery-system-preview.html#291 To Eyonix,

We'll update this thread when we hear something back. OK that was quicker than expected! I checked with our technical staff and the FCM queue is actually pretty big right now -- these new FCMs we setup yesterday are seemingly quite popular! :-) But unfortunately this equates to delays in the time it takes to move. :-(

Anyhow the good news is we've increased the number of processors dealing with the FCM queue and it should be moving quicker now than it was before. We're going to keep an eye on it though and if we have any further update we'll post it here in this thread.

Lelemudina, if the character move completes for you, we'd appreciate if you tell us here -- and good luck ;-) ]]> no-reply@wowraid.com (Wryxian) Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:13:58 +0100 WoW EU forum http://wowraid.com/tracker/b25/t12878617896/1003-realms--free-character-moves.html#27 http://wowraid.com/tracker/b25/t12878617896/1003-realms--free-character-moves.html#27 Average Wait Time: 8 Hours

Reposting my question then: It is standard practice to repost this thread every week. I'd advise you not to read too much into standard procedures.

Q u o t e:
What about realms that you can't play on between 20.00 and 23.00 every day for more then 2 weeks now due to constant server crashes every day?

Do I really need to pay for a Character Move to get out from Tarren Mill?
Or just accept that I can't play on Tarren Mill between 20.00 and 23.00? We have been working on resolving the issues on Tarren Mill and we have a thread about it here:
http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=12730505453&sid=1

Our full focus is on resolving the issues the realm is experiencing, and things like FCM are not currently seen as the way to solve the issue: FCM is for balancing realm populations and factions.

Please keep all future questions relating to Tarren Mill to the above thread, as we will not be able to further respond about them here in this thread. ]]> no-reply@wowraid.com (Wryxian) Thu, 11 Mar 2010 10:16:19 +0100 WoW EU forum http://wowraid.com/tracker/b25/t12878617896/1003-realms--free-character-moves.html#17 http://wowraid.com/tracker/b25/t12878617896/1003-realms--free-character-moves.html#17 Was So excited when i saw Runetotem -> Chamber of Aspects cuz i would of moved this and another char over to my main until i saw Alliance only ... We may consider opening Horde FCM on this realm, but we haven't as yet because Alliance is dominant. But if we did, Chamber of Aspects would not be the destination realm for Horde as that realm needs more Alliance love right now. ;-) ]]> no-reply@wowraid.com (Wryxian) Thu, 11 Mar 2010 09:32:57 +0100 WoW EU forum http://wowraid.com/tracker/b25/t12878617896/1003-realms--free-character-moves.html#16 http://wowraid.com/tracker/b25/t12878617896/1003-realms--free-character-moves.html#16 Sry didnt see that..in my country its day time...and y my chars are locked more then 12h...thats why im asking whats going on..cheers Well just so you know, sometimes when we open up FCMs on Wednesday, like we did yesterday, sometimes the rush to use the process has in the past meant delays of 24 hours or more.

The previous Alliance only FCMs were not bringing enough Alliance to the realm. So we are now trying something different. All of the realms that are source realms for FCM to Laughing Skull are either Alliance dominated or were until only very recently.

Anyhow, the main reason for this particular FCM is population related. Your realm is low populated and we want to help realms that are highly populated find a new and less crowded home. Sometimes people don't like it when any group of characters moves to their realm, especially if they are of the faction already dominant. But it is part of our continuing effort to ensure realm populations stay healthy across all realms. Don't worry, we still have faction balance in mind and we will be watching this carefully. ]]> no-reply@wowraid.com (Wryxian) Thu, 11 Mar 2010 09:27:38 +0100 WoW EU forum http://wowraid.com/tracker/b25/t12878617896/1003-realms--free-character-moves.html#13 http://wowraid.com/tracker/b25/t12878617896/1003-realms--free-character-moves.html#13 I see blues are here but dont want to answer me...nice...ty Um, I think you need to check the time -- it was night.
