Like, you know, a really gay WoW question

[regulus]

4 year veteran of the game and 4 years played on my beloved server. Progress slumped lately and I got in with this really cool guild farming Algalon with two 25 man groups every week. They are on another server though, but now that I have to move realm, I just cannot bring myself to do so. . You build up such a huge history in one place, know loads of people and all the guilds, then it can be all over. Do you guys transfer easily or think you could transfer easily if needed?

transfer where ever my guild goes dont really care!

due to lack of recruitment or lag whatever doesnt really bother me i soon get well known whatever server i go on and meet new people is all good!

just a nightmare paying for all my chars!

yeah, you'll make new mates if you go to a different server! I did that, moving from Terenas to Twisting Nether when Terenas (one of the original launch servers) started throwing wobblies. I now have two groups of mates from when i used to play Wow, one from the old sanctus Mortis crew and some from Twisting Nether PvP

If you really want to raid every night then you should migrate your main to the server with the "cool guild". Although I wouldn't associate raiding every night with cool.

If it sucks you've still got alts on your old server and can always return at some point.

Played WoW for years myself so can offer my opinion I think.

I played on the US servers because a friend of mine lives in Canada, I originally started playing in the summer of 2005 on US-Skullcrusher and was learning the game.

Eventually a new server was announced, US-Mug'thol and my friend migrated there (It was free as Skullcrusher was a heavy populated server). I had my doubts but I was on the servers because of him so I went, I was still learning the game and only had very few friends. My friend went because his guild did and he was already raiding end game.

So this was the start of Mug'thol for everyone and I remained on the server for a few years as did a heap of others, the server quickly became very populated but nothing as bad as the servers today (for example EU-Magtheridon).

Long story short I ended up quitting due to terrible time zone differences preventing me from raiding, I was a hardcore PvP player at 60 and I was only known for that, I couldn't raid at all but I know a heap of people and had fun.

Then I created a new EU account when my brother decided to play WoW so we rolled on EU-Balnazzar on Alliance since I had previously played horde, knowing no one and not having a heavy geared char was a bit odd but the main problem I had is having no friends but most importantly was when I began raiding later on I knew nothing about the other guilds past or the servers history of events and it didn't feel right. Eventually I quit and sold it.

Rerolled again when Refer a friend was first introduced shortly before WotlK so I decided I would use this and try raiding for a while on.

Ended up being the same old story, I missed my original server where I learnt to play, made lots of friends but I think it may have to do with the fact that I enjoyed the level 60 days far more than that of TBC and WotlK.

I ended up quitting for good about 2/3 months ago and won't be going back anymore.

Bounced around servers following guilds and leaving for new ones.

Only hard thing is leaving certain people behind but couldn't care less for the history of the server or myself on it

Quit some months ago now though.
