Blizzard announced (after YEARS of saying this would NEVER happen) that they are now going to allow paid character transfers from PvE servers >>> PvP servers. This is bad because it is much more painstaking to level one (or mulitple?) toons on a PvP server. So now, I can basicly roll a <insert OP class here> on a care-bear server.... Make a crap-ton of cash, get to max level, then go over to a PvP server with no penalty...
Absolutely hilarious how afraid Golieth is to lose subs to David.

They have been runnning the Mr T and William Shattner commercials alot again also.
I heard they were down 20% on logins since Preview + started but not sure if its true.
One more step for wow down the giveaway road. It's a pity. It was a good game.
This is a horrible idea. I would be pissed if I hadn't left the ganktastic PvP servers before BGs were added. WTF are they thinking?

Haha. xD While it sure doesn't seem like a definitive sign and personally I myself would say that this alone isn't a related thing, I really do feel that Blizzard knows that Warhammer is the only thing can compete with them. They're not so much afraid so much as they're sighing and realizing they may actually have to put in a modicrum of effort to stay #1. Of course for a supergiant like Blizzard, this still isn't a problem since every .000001 nanometers of force the company exerts, the fanboys give them their undivided attention and declare it to be the Holy Truth. Unless it involves adjustments to lessen the power of their chosen class, then suddenly it's Blasphemy and Eternal Damnation upon the populace.
And yeah, I'm sure that people will eat it up; I know my friend for one might, he's been whining for months about how incompetent his server/battlegroup is and how he'd *love* to change to a PvP server, but he's too wussy to actually pull it off. For a longtime epiced out min/maxed Warlock keeping up to date with Arena gear, boasting a disgusting amount of HP and spending literally all of his time either in towns or tricking lowbies into flagging so he can kill them, he is surprisingly afraid of people ganking him back or being around any players that he can't otherwise bully. :P
Thank God I don't play anymore. I use to have a 70 on warsong and a 70 on Aerie Peak. Let me tell you something, if I was still playing I would be pissed. It was hard leveling in that time (might still be) to 70 on a pvp server COMPARED to the pve servers. Pve servers are MUCH easier. You don't have to worry about rogues popping up and owning you while leveling, especially.
This is NUTS. There will def. be alot of characters moving servers and alot of players moving to different servers where the economy meets their needs on those servers. Not to mention THE GOLD FARMERS moving over to pvp from pve...or vise versa...wow....wowww...LOL. The name stands up to...wow...lol
Blizz is thinking they don't want to lose money. That is what they are thinking.
Wow, your friend is a wuss.
I was never bothered by lvling up on pvp servers.
You just gotta know how to run at the right moment.
Groovy.

Ye it isn't bad. I just remember dying a ton in those times in Eastern Plaguelands to rogues in my spot where the 3 chests use to be (might still be). I use to farm those damn things while killing the zombies / humans...it's been so long.
I think Warcraft is a GREAT game at its Time!
I just i lost all faith in it when they added Arenas
Twinks were fun too, only bad thing if your not a twink, good luck trying to own one.
LvL 70s ganking you in Lowbie zones got lame too, it was funny they attack you, you kill them, they log on there 70 and poof it was all about who had the better gear, and the higher lvls.
Play the game thats fun!
I will go were im having fun, if its not fun, i leave and wont look back!
Wow was my first MMO so i have respect for it, just hate how its changed.
i was in Warhammer from day they did Open beta, i see thats theres been some major changes and it runs very good for me.
Just wish people stop bashing other games, its ok to dislike and so on, just stop with the hate and go play a game and get along with others, cause were all gamers here, its ok to share your feelings, just wish people going to say at lease tell the truth!
If you have a problem with a game, tell the people who make the games, your not going to waste your time and money on them, soon we send a message to them. And hope they stop making broken games.
I leveled multiple 70s on both care-bear and PvP servers... Honestly it wasn't that much different. Every now and then would get fustrated by a level 70 attacking my level 30-40, but it was a lot of fun when playing fighting with a gap less than 5. It was a little world pvp to interrupt the level grind.
To be honest i don't see anything wrong with 70s fighting with each other or in the 65+ range, but if people start transfering just to grief people that would be annoying especially because they didn't have to face that leveling themselves.
I don't really care at this point pretty much out of WoW, still have active accounts but haven't been on even gave away all my gold to friends.

The biggest issue with allowing pve to pvp transfer is all the people that aren't used to having everybody flagged. I imagine a lot will immediately run to lowbie areas and spend days just ganking for hours until they get tired of it. Eventually they will get tired, but there will always be a constant trickle of transfers to make it a constant gankfest in those areas. And, it only takes 1 level 70 player to ruin an entire zone. I really wish they wouldn't allow the transfers.
Blizzard has and will continue to do well..
Well all i can say is,
Belive it or not ?
Warhammer is making, Wow change a few things in there game..
This might be Good or Bad ?
Anyways I really dont care what people play..
I play a game because its fun and cause its my money, im not here to get anyone to follow me,
all i ask is,
Can we all get along ?
I like the Fact that theres SO many games out there and more coming out, that means someday, there going to have to change and improve there games and keep them up to date,
and keep up with the times to stay active.
Rare wisdom on MMORPG.com. I feel alone sometimes in my view that all games deserve to be played and hating on a game is ludicrous. Play something else if you don't like it.

And this is so much related to WAR, yeah.
This is the best signature ever. Well, it is really up to you to decide. :x
Since everyone comes to the warhammer forums making comparisons I think I am entitled to at least one....
www.everquest.com + www.toontown.com = www.worldofwarcraft.com

WoW has Disney graphics? Yes, that's exactly how I put it.

Thanks !
Im gald to see alot here on the forums, giving there feelings and telling like it is.
Let's just BE kind to those that just cant seem to understand that its just a game. ?
There no cause giving into them and being angry,
Doing SO ?
It be just like walking into there trap to feed there Troll pets?
Thank you, I was thinking the same thing... Blizzard is a business, they are treating it like one.. stop conspirisizing (massive sp) about the end of the world because they are doing what is best for the game and their pocketbooks.
It really does not take that much effort any more to lvl a char to 70 in wow any more on a pvp server. Especially with the having several alts on a pvp server. I really don't see this move by Bliz as shaking in their boots over WAR. I see it as something that no longer is much of an issue. Whether you lvl a char in pve or pvp it all about the same amount of time. Sure your not being ganked on one server compared to a pvp tends to be annoying at times but doesn't really change how fast you lvl.
The other point is they are allowing PVE chars to go to PVP means they are trying to promote pvp serves, which many people alreay play on. Thre is no doubt that WAR will peel off some of the more hardcore pvp players but I don't see the connection between transfers from pve to pvp servers with the coming of WAR. I think it is more an effort by Bliz to promote their new pvp aspects in their new expansion than anything else.
By the way I do plan to play WAR. I always liked a point to PVP but I do still plan and will be playing wow for PVE. That has always been my main critique of WOW.. no real point to pvp.
People talk about WoW like it's their X. They can't shut up about it and it's starting to irritate their friends.
Hahahahaha.
Oohhh it feels good to see WoW fall slowly but sure. I've been waiting years for stuff like this to happen.

well honestly they never said they would never do it, alot of people get that one messed up. But hey its nothing new for businesses compete with each other, no big deal really. Hell the devs on both sides prolly know each other and laugh about how us players rip at each other's throats =P
Anyways this is what they posted of course i'm sure WAR did have a lil something to do with it but blizz does love the cash hehe:
"Why are you now allowing character transfers from PvE realms to PvP realms?
Because World of Warcraft has matured significantly since the inception of Paid Character Transfers, we don’t feel that PvE-to-PvP transfers will have the negative impact on the game that we initially wanted to avoid when we started the service in 2006. This change will provide more mobility and freedom for players to experience the game with friends or play in the type of environment they’re looking for."

Most gamers act like a bunch of art student indie fanatics for some reason....trying to fight the corporate power and keep it about art, man...dude....bro
Investors = games for us to play. Investors want money. Anyone who funded anything in the history of the entertainment business wanted to milk money out of it one way or another.
