Just visited the official WAR board for my first time and there is like 22 locked posts in the general forum. Seems like a lot of angry people. Its about the community manager, a twitter message and server transfer. Whats going on?

On my server, a ton of people are quitting or going back to WoW after the "expansion".  Not looking good.

Basically about Andy making a post on the Iron Rock situation and saying that according to their metrics it looks fine. This after 6 months+ of that server begging for a server merger due to low pops.

People are pretty much convinced they're just milking them with the paid transfers at the moment (20$ per character)

Ah ok, thanks for the clarification. If they refuse to close the server and hope for a lot of 20$ transfers, it would be most sinister if that is true. :S

Considering you can't even pay for a transfer onto Badlands, I don't think they're milking for transfers.

I chalk it up to the usual total inteptitude of Mythic when it comes to managing servers.  They started with wayyyy too many and there's still too many to support the population.  The solution is to merge the lesser 3 NA servers and run with 2- Badlands and one other one.

But they won't do it for no known reason, except as noted apparently at least Andy thinks the pop is fine on them.

Biggest reason this game has lost subs and is still losing subs is bad servers with nobody to play with or against.
