Blizzard wants player input on merging realms in World of Warcraft Classic

Tom Ellis (Senior Game Producer for World of Warcraft) has recently discussed Blizzard’s thoughts on merging realms in Wrath Classic before Cataclysm Classic arrives. Seeking player input, they’ve introduced a concept they’re considering.

Blizzard is considering merging realms in World of Warcraft Wrath Classic ahead of the Cataclysm launch, potentially merging Faerlina-US and Benediction-US, which are heavily dominated by one faction each. They are hesitant about implementing faction balancing due to concerns about player retention.

They seek player input on this proposal:

Alright, so we’ve been looking at getting Wrath Classic realms condensed down ahead of Cataclysm launch, SoD style mega realms. But, while doing that we realized we have an opportunity that we’re honestly too afraid to take. Thoughts?

Faerlina-US and Benediction-US are fake PvP…
