I'm just curious how many people will actually move, it is pretty hard decision to make when you are on healthy populated server and risk going on a new one. I personally will probably stay but we will have to see.

The new realm is always worse. I have never seen the secondary realm grow to the population or activity level that the initial server had. Furthermore this can often magnify faction imbalances on the primary realm when the outnumbered faction decides to leave furthering the imbalance. Just my anecdotal experience.

Good point with the faction imbalance
But at least there are both Firemaw and Gehennas funneling into the new one.

I've not had any issues logging in. No wait times at all. It's been great hope this doesn't destroy that for the server I'm on.

We need more people on Herod, let's make that trend.

I think the primary argument against server transfers is to prevent people from being an asshole, getting a bad reputation, then moving on to the next server without facing any repercussion as often as they'd like.

I like your opinion and insights Pippina, thank you :)

Anyone knows any dates when EU transfers will be available? I am eager to transfer so I can finally play with my Shaman on Firemaw or the new Earthshaker. (sounds like a drink)

Last week was on vacation so there were no problems logging in, but now when I'm home after work there's not a single chance and I have to play with my Paladin alt on a much smaller realm.
