That is so fucking unfair to force ppl move their realm.

Personally, I think this is a great idea. I know my primary realm, Draenor, has extreme Queues. As long as I can communicate with all my friends to decide on a realm to move to, this seems to be a great idea.

I'd probably end up using the free character transfer before the server splits just to get bearable playing faster

ilovemrdoe: The problem is, not all servers that need it are getting free character transfers.

What happens with guilds? You're gonna end up having your guild split up over 2 servers. :(

on a realm like ours (which is over max), the alliance outnumbers the horde 3:1. pvp now is quite difficult. if the realm splits, pvp would be gone unless the alliance find out where most of the horde go and also go there (then the split accomplishes nothing).

For anyone who didn't read it fully, here are the two most common problems people are having on the forums, and the solutions.

1.) What if my guild gets split across two servers? If you choose no server (a window pops up allowing you to select or change the realm you're going to a week before the actual event), then you will by default go with your guild leader, thereby making it so your entire guild goes to one server.

2.) But what 'bout free transfers? The server split is an absolute last solution. It basically is forcing the transfer when people refuse to do so themselves, after all other avenues have been offered. It's somewhat in their right.

That is taken directly from the post, if you read it closely rather than just skimming the concept (no offense meant, but panic frenzy never worked well in the 1930s.)

If it will reduce my lag (~250ms) I want the splitting!
