First of all, I represent you a link on www.wowprogress.com, which depicts the population value of all EU realms to make things clear:
http://www.wowprogress.com/realms/rank/eu
Now, look at the bottom part. Here is the screenshot that depicts it the best way it is:

There are several realms in the bottom there, but Sporeggar with its 2.7k accounts (which in reality equals 100-105 people online at the same time on whole realm - Horde side and about 150 people on Alliance side, not more!) is the lowest populated realm among all EU realms, including French, German and Russian ones. CLEARLY LOWEST.
Now.. I won't say something that doesn't exist.. that the "blues" are ignorant to population problems. Indeed, they DO make attempts to solve the issue, and so I present you a chronology of "blue" posts announcing FCM's over 3-4 months:

And now - the BIG question: WHERE IS SPOREGGAR ON THESE LISTS?
What have we done to you, dear Blizzard that we remain completely ignored by your pop balancing problem, while we need it the most?
Did we anger you that much? Why are we condemned to rot on this wretched, cursed realm forever? Why we haven’t got a SINGLE free transfer to our realm EVER? How many times would we mention, that our realm is even in MORE critical state, that all those listed above?
Look at my 43 pages epic thread, that you successfully buried on our realm forums:
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2624785515?page=43
Look at the recent topic's name:
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3483870698 (I am finally out from curse of Sporeggar) (!)
I’ve prolonged my subscription only in hope for finding X-RBG team since patch 4.3 allowed making a cross-realm team for Rated BGs. Otherwise, there is absolutely nothing to do on our realm. We cannot gather even 10 vs 10 Tol Barad lately and have a HUGE difficulty to organize anything, from TBC fun raids up to 10 men BH.
I remember that once in a YEAR or so we had BH 25 and were happy like hell that we found enough people in weekend to run it at last. I mean, BH 25 was an EVENT for entire Horde side to speak about it and discuss it, as though we made a great accomplishment.
These links don’t lie.. neither does our forum section.
Please.. HELP us. Open free transfers to SPOREGGAR from any realm, we don’t care which – from English, Deutch, French, Russian, even from hell itself.. Just GIVE us more people. Pretty please.
Even 20, even 10!! new active players would make an impact on our realm, SO DIRE OUR SITUATION IS. Check our AH with 2k items, if you don't believe me. Check and see.
P.S. I would end this misery and transfer this paladin somewhere.. But he doesn't have a gathering profession on him (it's on another toon), so it's 50 EU now? Sorry, but I already pay quite a lot + bought all game keys from you. Why should I pay the amount that equals 2-3 workdays for me for getting something that I should normally get w/o additional payment??
We understand how this situation is frustrating, and I'm afraid there's no new info at this time. However, as we said last month, we recently discussed low-population and faction-imbalanced realms with our developers. Taking in consideration some of the features we have lined up for the expansion, they have some fantastic plans for addressing this.
Sadly that's all we can share right now, but please know that we're fully aware of your feelings on the matter. When we have more news, we'll be sure to let y'all know. |
