Everyone, please read this. It's important.

In the light of there being an overwhelming majority wanting to transfer, it's looking pretty likely at this point. There's a lot of people who have their minds set on a realm and a lot of people who just want "a good battlegroup" or "higher population" so I'm just trying to clear some things up here for those people who don't know what good realms there are, what good battlegroups, etc., even if you already have your mind set on the one where all you m8s are.

This isn't a thread for discussing why people should transfer or who voted what, when we're going to transfer, or voting where, this is an informational thread for people, so people can SUGGEST good realms, give reasons, try to convince other people of your retarded opinion, then we'll have a vote at a later date, in the next couple of weeks hopefully if we get enough good suggestions. (then transfer to sunstrider)

A list of all the realms sorted by the alliance to horde ratio, bear in mind that realms with bigger horde populations will have wintergrasp more, but probably bigger battleground queues overall. This is also wildly inaccurate, so take it just as a guide

A list of all the realms sorted into battlegroups, iirc the "best" ones are cyclone, blackout, and rampage, although I hear people saying in guild chat that blackout has crippling lag at prime time? Someone that knows more about that could post about that.

You can also check out the wow forums for the battlegrounds but heh wow forums, might be good to check the bg queue times of different battlegroups though.

Here's a list of what ratings people needed on various battlegroups to get the gladiator titles. This might not seem relevant to anyone but pvpers but the higher gladiator ranking tends to mean more high rated players, which tends to mean higher pop realms, more battlegrounds, more people doing pugs for raids, etc.

List of the most progressed realms, ie the realms with the most amount of raiding guilds. Same as above, more progressed tends to mean more pugs etc etc.

Some things to bear in mind:
-If it's totally completely horde dominated we'll have wintergrasp and all that stuff, but good luck farming for materials, same goes for totally alliance dominated. Ideally, go for one that's got more horde than alliance but not one like magtheridon where it's insanely overpopulated.
-Goon squad isn't a pure raiding guild, despite the past x months happenings. We put the transfer issue up because this realm is dead and we haven't even been able to crash any rp parties for ages because we made everyone transfer, I might just be speaking for myself here but going to an rp realm would be very good, means we could start having some fun again!
-Goon Squad Number One Guild
-When thinking about a server, try to anticipate leveling new alts, trolling opportunities, and what happens come cataclysm

I've been playing on and off on DB since i disappeared and it looks like the perfect environment for pubbie tears. It has "serious" RP guilds who even talk RP in guildchat, has medium pop wich is good for the AH and a decent battlegroup i believe. All in all, people are too nice there from my experience and it needs the GS element on it. I was leveling a shaman there so i'll keep at it and hope we move there.

Contrary to Shri, I have actually seen them ruin RP, and their actions caused others to use it as an excuse to act like tards as well, untill all decent roleplayers fled. In the end, only a hardcore few remained, and then even they had to throw in the towel. No wonder they got bored on Spore, everyone else was probably gone.

I don't want to sound doomsy, but I think we need a plan for this.

It is a silly question to ask "are you an rp'er?" to someone we don't know, as ooc'ers would also reply "yes, I am". It's different when people from in here nudge, as then we have solid testimony about it, other than two words.

Don't put it past them to have a member actually participate in roleplay for an extended period of time just to infiltrate communities
