i leveled multiple 60 on pve and pvp and there is no major difference in /played at 60(10 +/-2), pvp cry babies are just annoying whinners and its sad that blizzard is taking their side. what difference does it really make that you got ganked a couple times while waiting outside mc or bwl, boohoo you had to walk 3 minutes from the gy, what an epic task...

There is a definite time factor that comes into the difference in leveling up on a PvE server versus a PvP server. The risks farming both experience and items are not the same on a PvE realm as they are on a PvP realm.
Even getting to a new area to do quests can be more time consuming for an individual on a PvP server by comparison due to the chance of being attacked. Then even upon returning to where you died, there is no telling if your killer/s have moved on or have decided they'd like to see you move on and are camping the area.
What may not be a major difference to you might be much more so to others.

Q u o t e:
NETHAERA!!! Will there be new pvp servers released specifically for people on PvE servers to transfer to? PLEASE answer this i must know :(
At this point in time I'd say no.

That said however, should we feel that something like this will help disperse population, it could come into consideration.[ post edited by Nethaera ]

Q u o t e:
Then why did you offer this service to 4 realms for FREE just 2 months ago? And doesn't Blizzard not use the term PvE? I thought it was supposed to be "normal"
Let me repeat that once again in obnoxious capital letters: WHY DID YOU LET CHARACTERS TRANSFER FROM NORMAL SERVERS TO A BRAND NEW PVP ONE JUST 1 MONTH AGO.
I'm sorry Neth, you seem great, and all we do is beat up on CMs. But you guys are all we have as there's no transparency in this system.
Feh, not like you'll come back to this thread and read it.
From what I've been told it was something that was tried out and it did not pan out the way that was expected. Things can change however given the right situation and in general that situation is based on working to keep some semblence of population balance on the servers so that people can enjoy their playtime.
We all know that if a server has too much of a population people end up waiting in queues to log into them and if they have too low of a population people end up wandering around trying to find a group just to complete tasks. Balance is important and something we strive to help maintain where we can.
No matter how we try to anticipate what could happen, we don't always know how things will work for certain. So if you see us taking caution about something, it's not because we don't want to do something that has been asked but because sometimes there are other ramifications that could occur and cause more issues than necessary.
I know I'm not giving people the answers they want to hear and the team is forwarding feedback in regard to the character transfers on so it's not as if your thoughts are falling on deaf ears. I just don't want anyone to anticipate things to suddenly change in this regard.
