Hello awesome people of warmane,
I'd like to start with the fact that this is an open suggestion / idea and feedback is appreciated from both players & staff.
Given the fact that in the past year the population of cata & mop shrank drastically with the release of lordaeron / icecrown and legion on retail here is my suggestion:
As these 2 realms revolve around 2k players, 3k at most, wouldn't it be great to remove them completely and make another WOTLK realm / icc clone?
I know, there are a lot of enthusiasts that still want to play cata / mop. i personally have 1 bis char on both realms and i'd rather play them than a wotlk char, but let's face the facts. These 2 realms are dead and at least in my opinion it would be more valuable for everyone to have the attention of the staff on a single expansion that is closer and closer to what blizz had on WOTLK.
Brief history of the past year:
- nelth went from 1K+ to ~500 players / cata pvp realm got removed
- frostwolf went from 3+ at peak to 1k+ sometimes 2k at most
- the attention is/was limited
- updates did come but they were slow and sometimes broke content more
How can we move chars from cata / mop to wotlk:
- By selling them on the site for a fraction of their value (if a char is worth 400 coins for example you will get 200 or 100)
- This way you can start fresh with instant 80 and some items allowing you to refresh your experience
- If you don't want to start fresh you can buy an existing character from the shop with achievements etc.
As i said, i'm not fond of wotlk but at least we could all make the best out of 2 dying realms:
Staff: stop funding 2 realms and devoting staff towards them
Players: continue the experience on a populated realm even though this might not be your preferred expansion
Thank you
