I think it's unfair to say that when the "poll" lasted less than four hours
-

Sure lots of things happened around here...
I don't get why the poll has been dismissed, didn't the majority vote for the return of Lordaeron ?
Also, what became of the announcement about lowering rates on current WOTLK realms ?
And then what is that "Lordaeron (WotLK x1) test leveling stream" for ?

So after Lordaeron idea was dismissed, I can see realm online. Can any of the staff members comment on this? Is it going to be a permanent realm? Is it a test realm? What's gonna be with characters created on it?

I think that this time Lordaeron will be WoD realm, because if you click on the link to twitch channel you can read this
Edit: It prolly says WoD because you can't select older expansions of WoW on Twitch, it always shows the latest one i guess, but still that made me curious for a minute :]Warmane | Wotlk x1 Test Leveling on Lordaeron warmanelive playing World of Warcraft: Warlords of DraenorEdited: May 19, 2015

There is no need for now to brag about something done. Maybe another day with more quests & dg scripts, the poll will get opened again, but not for now.

Yes, the poll was dismissed because the route it was taking was obvious. 65% or so of people voting on it vote yes, but the majority of the posts were only negative responses to the thread. The data of the poll remains relevant, but as always, we will make the decision on our own. Lordaeron lives, but for now, we will be operating it on a test capacity and playing on it (it's available for others to play on) so we can test and iron out the leveling experience.
As for the rates of the other realms and possibility of changing their rates, it is unlikely they will become 1x, but the rates they will be in the future is 'to be determined'.
As above, we're testing the leveling experience on the realm and streaming some of it. We want to document and share some of the experience and fun.
It will remain closed. We already have a pretty good idea what the community's opinion on the matter is. Which is why we will be going forward with the realm, but we're going to be taking some time doing it.
We're playing Horde by the way.

What's the point anyway? DW and Rag can't even reach 4K online anymore, the population has dropped dramatically since moltdown and we don't need another WotLK realm.
Maybe it's because people had a chance to play on other private servers and it opened their eyes a bit, or they realized that nothing's really changed besides the server name. In my opinion the database wipe was a huge opportunity to start fresh and fix many past mistakes and you totally wasted it.

As many have pointed out, a x1 won't work. After intial launch, it's another dead realm. If people want a blizzlike oldschool experience, they get that on vanilla/tbc. If you open any transfers, there is no point in leveling. Most old Lordaeron players transferred from Ragnaros (for free) because of overpopulation/queue times.
Also, a x1 server needs to be bug free to be enjoyable, so why waste dev time on it? Look at cata, 4 years and still completely bugged.

Just change rates and everything else you wanted to one of existing realms.
Yes, there will be drama at start but after some weeks everyone will for get about it and after some months things will even out. For brighter future you must do hard decisions right now.
When x1 realm will born - open transfer between both existing realms for some time, so players can decide which rate suits them. Players will not leave, even though some will be outrageous and ragequit but they will return as usually.

for as much as I appreciate the nostalgia, I'm glad its not gonna be open.
there already is a lot of work to be done on current expansions/realms to utilize resources on a new undertaking.
maybe we can get cloud serpent riding instead? /jk
