Server split traction

[JustFine]

All,

There are a few high traffic forum posts where the sub 60 twink community is rallying to get their voice/opinion heard on the recent server split. Would be great if we could get some more posts on there. Hoping we can all agree that this change is terrible.

What's up...

So I've played this bracket for a looooong time. Like since vanilla. And these types of updates have ALWAYS affected our brackets negatively. Usually only balancing out with either

A. A boost of traffic or

B.Player funded manipulation.

I don't think we have the player base to increase traffic. 19s have a lot of momentum but just not as many active players as they once did. Secret Agent and Mastermind Twink Crusade during the wrath server update proposed a thought out, and well formulated plan to the community. Known as the ruin migration; If you recall all the battle groups were dead so everyone moved to ruin. People were hesitant at first, but it snowballed into one of the greatest times in 19 history. Always qing against 19s, games were balanced. The dps to hp ratio wasn't ridiculous yet. Premade, pug pops.

If you guys want to save twinking we need to stop trying to get blizzard to make a change for us, which they've rarely ever done...and start by finding out which battle group has the highest population and make it our home. Or keep telling this company to change what they've always done and pray p4 brings more people

We would need to start with info on the queue from each battlegroup and faction.

My understanding is that US East Horde has very short wait times, but Ally dominate the bracket. What are other people's experience?

EDIT: My bad wrote West when I meant East! It always confuses me because I live on the west coast even though I play on east...

That sounds about right. 2-10 min queues Horde side from about 11am-10pm. Queues dying around then might go on for another hour or two if we're lucky. Alliance Whitemane queue into 39/49's with no less than 5. Most of our Horde haven't renewed their sub since the split at least in the 39 bracket. I tend to solo queue both 39's and 49 and have seen way more alliance twinks to horde as of recent.

Horde dominate west coast by far

We already have a list of guilds, what servers they are on, what faction they are, etc. At this point its just looking at server activity and deciding who's rerolling and whos going to new homes on the east coast. We could make a thread, ask for a mod stickie.
