Why people are leaving Lordaeron in favour of Icecrown.

[Deathmastered]

I left cuz NO RDF and I dont want to level up by doing quests again.
Also no transmog.

No transmog on icecrown as well.

[johnnybgood89]

Yeah, I can understand that. I'd say a good time for it to show up is with ICC, like it did on retail.

Points already don't give gear on Lord, and donor items are ridiculously priced to where nobody buys them. How can you seriously complain?

lol

Really?



Casuals.... /sigh

Yes Lynea that are my reasons. Yeah Im casual but Im here from early 2009. got bored a little ...

I said thats the reason why I left.

Sorry, I thought you left Lordaeron, not Lordaeron+Icecrown.

[Chriswing]

The reasons why i dont play on lorderon are:

too low rates
disabling things that help/are popular(transmoog and rdf)


I realy do like the idea of a progressive server.

I would love to have a server thats starts like:

Rates 4x for XP/Reputation/Honor/Drops and so on

It starts as a classic server where only Onyxia and MC are open plus warsong

After 8 Weeks BWL and Zul Gurub opens plus alterac valley

After 6 Weeks AQ 40/20 opens plus arathi

After 4 Weeks Naxxramas opens plus BC Talent trees

After 6 Weeks BC content opens(normal instances, Season 1, Tier4 stuff)

After 6 weeks Season 2 starts plus Tier 5 content

After 6 Weeks Season 3 starts plus Tier 6 content

After 6 Weeks Season 4 starts plus Sunwell plateau

After 6 Weeks WOTLK starts with naxxramas and Season 5

and so on.

That way we would have a progressive server that keeps you busy for at least 1,5 years, and new players can follow up with expansions.

just my thoughts

Lordaeron is a chill place after Icecrown packed with braindead donators and multiboxers.
Only one thing i miss is RDF and want to faster content release.
Rest if pretty fine.

those braindead donors are what keeps the server running.

Doesn't make them any less braindead.

They are just as braindead as the rest of you.

From my point of view, one of the best point of Lordearon is active world PVP. I appreciate the constant tension during leveling.

Lot of people want to make world PVP, but don't want the hard leveling phase.

The problem is that real leveling combined to lack of rdf lead to active WPVP, that's why there's no WPVP on other realms...

I like playing on Lordearon, but sometimes I go to Blackrock for a few BGs, that's a good compromise for me.
I think many people forget this is game for fun, and everyone has to find his way for fun.

lordaeron is fine, and wpvp is great. most fun for me atleast.
if they would somehow make it possible to cross realm bgs (ofc only lord to icecrown, and not vice versa, and only if you chose to), bg queues could shorten alot and make it even more great. or wait until all content is released on lord so players have even ground (well at least the possibility) for getting bis gear (yeah i know, its not even ground, but its close)

Lordaeron is pretty fine, world pvp on every corner during leveling, and, compare to Icecrown, you will be ganked mostly by enemies within +-5 levels to your, not by some bis 80 player.
Please add RDF, and this realm will be excellent.

those braindead donors are what keeps the server running.

No ****, captain, i didn't say opposite.
However, main reason between Lordaeron and Icecrown: on Icecrown each guy can just donate and be decend just because carried by gear, while on Lordaeron he will never leave sewers without bis gear avaliable on the market.
Even that fact there won't b tons of shadowmourne apes makes me happy.

By the way, lordaeron people donate a lot and provide moneys for Warmane, difference is - dat donation is not gamebreaking and not pay to win (it's not a secred shadowmourne was avaliable only via marketplace for some time)

Not sure what's the situation right now, but according to what was said in thread about report of 2015/what can we expect in 2016 (couldn't find the exact thread, but that was its idea) in the beginning of the year it had 46% of population, but could cover only 4-6% of its own costs, not even talking about total budget. Now it has even less people. So...

I'm not sure that Lordearon is doomed to be profitable, x1 realms don't seem to be the most popular. For me it's more a showcase for Warmane, trying to offer the most blizzlike experiment.

I think Icecrown donations pay the majority of Warmane costs.

You just want things too fast :) And that's it, Lordaeron ftw, more relaxing.
