So I've been reading and reading and reading today all about two gentlemen who have been at the top of the most-talked-about-blizz-employees list for the last week or two.
So... here's my list of questions. Won't be surprised if they're deleted rather than answered, but at least my conscience can rest.
Hyjal was allowed to transfer to the new server Black Dragonflight.
Hyjal = PVE Server
Black Dragonflight = PVP Server
How does this work out exactly? I remember the last time you guys nearly allowed PVE-PVP server transfers, and you quickly withdrew that transfer service stating that you had seen the error in your ways regarding this issue with relation to the players' concerns.
Now, you've let Hyjal transfer to Black Dragonflight. A PVE server to a PVP server... and why?
Well, seems to me there can only be one reason: Fires of Heaven. They were on Hyjal.. and now all of the sudden they get to do what no one else was allowed to do.. what some servers almost got the chance to do before Blizzard pulled the plug on their transfers. They got level up to 60 in easy mode on a PVE server, dominate PVE content, and now they get to move to a brand new PVP realm where they will surely dominate everything. And, for those who don't know but really should know.. Fires of Heaven is Furor's guild. You know Furor? The guy who's one of the lead designers for the game? Yeah.
Blizzard, this is the kind of stuff that angers me.. and the kind of stuff I will gladly rail against you about. This is nonsense favortism that is cleverly swept under the rug.. well guess what.. I'm here to air out your dirty laundry. Congrats, your shhhhhhhh- has just been blown out of the water.
That's a 50 DKP Minus!

I realize that conspiracy theories are fun to entertain, and that what I'm about to say will be very disappointing for those seeking to expose some ugly untruth in the world of Azeroth, but the fact remains, Hyjal was chosen due to the negative affects associated with being host to such a high population of players, not because of what guilds had established themselves there.
Also, while were at it, Mr. Rogers never served as a U.S.Army sniper in Vietnam.
Sorry, guys.[ post edited by Eyonix ]

Guys, the transference of characters from select PvE to PvP realms was done with the intent to improve realm performance. Nothing more. Previously, we hadn't planned to open up transfers from a PvE ruleset to a PvP ruleset, and the decision was one that was under discussion for weeks. Heavy discussion, as a matter of fact. It was decided that in order to better encourage players on the chosen high population realms to transfer to our new hardware, we'd allow an opportunity for transfers to a player vs. player realm type.
We realize that there are other high population realms that could've benefited from a similar transfer, but we chose realms that we believed would benefit the most.
We may or may not do such a transfer again in the future. Such a decision will likely be made based upon the impact of the actual transfer, and feedback that's been provided concerning the decision. You should also know that we appreciate the feedback we receive on this matter, but conspiracy theories that detail assumption will be ignored.

Q u o t e:
Yeah... looks like. Is FOH on that server? is Furor going over? very much not touched by Blue.
It wasn't "touched" by me because I don't know any players on Hyjal that are transferring. I clearly outlined the reasoning behind these specific transfers. You guys do realize that the discussions and decisions involving realm transfers are handled by our Network Operations team, and not Game Designers, yes?

Q u o t e:
Yeah, it just happened to be the server that FOH was on.
A designer just happens to have been the leader of FOH at one time.
Network people "made the decision", sure and they had no idea who was on the server or who was connected?
Sure...
And the other 6 realms being transferred, what of them? They are getting preferential treatment, according to your claims, right? Who is the big name on those realms?[ post edited by Tseric ]
My other sig is a rejoinder
