Everyone's here. Was able to take in account some things I wasn't thinking about, and I've decided how I'm going to start this transition. We're going to go with the guild on EmDr, that's been solidified.<br /><br />I'm going to transfer my Alliance druid there, as well as roll a brand new shaman. Going to load the druid up with heirlooms, since I really won't need them on Bonechewer any longer.<br /><br />Again, really appreciate you taking the time to give me your perspective.<br /><br />Have a great day!onetwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00714492925381422700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524333278511288129.post-40209035048121915262013-04-11T22:51:40.174-05:002013-04-11T22:51:40.174-05:00I have done a lot of realm experimentation, lookin...I have done a lot of realm experimentation, looking for the right mix of what's important to me, and since you've mentioned Emerald Dream, I'll throw my $0.02 in. EmDr has a fairly consistently high population--a plus for finding people to do stuff with--but in my experience, I've had a hard time selling consistently on the AH. There's a good Horde pop. too, which I like since I like world PVP. I can't help you out with what it's like to pug or raid w/ a guild there, because I haven't done a raid in ages (no time), but I will say that what made me stay when I rolled an experimental toon is that I found it to be a much friendlier/nicer realm than your usual realm experience. I have a couple of toons rotting in a couple different guilds, and each of them aren't full of the usual douchebags you often find. I like EmDr, and I wish I was more inclined to play Alliance and hang out there more. Since you like playing the AH, though, I would try to really examine that before committing fully to a transfer there.<br /><br />As for Horde, I've been on a lot of different servers, and despite the high level of vocal asshats, I always come back to Illidan. The economy is brisk (I sell a lot of stuff there easily, and I'm no AH tycoon or anything), and when the pop. on other realms start to die off in the middle of expansions, Illidan remains full of people to do stuff with. I've found it's harder to find nicer folks to do stuff with, but they're out there. They're just quieter than the...other kind. There's often a queue in the evenings, and competition for nodes/spawns is super high, but I've been on enough realms that died out that I'd rather deal with the downsides of Illidan than look around Orgrimmar at 11 at night and see 8 other people or something.<br /><br />For whatever it's worth! Good luck with finding a happy WoW home!Emmariumhttp://twitter.com/emmariumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524333278511288129.post-4698984172453690142013-04-11T16:35:42.483-05:002013-04-11T16:35:42.483-05:00Hmmm I might just have to write a server transfer ...Hmmm I might just have to write a server transfer guide for the gold maker :) Thanks for the idea!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14614400677572131227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524333278511288129.post-19128686398488935402013-04-11T15:39:34.242-05:002013-04-11T15:39:34.242-05:00I wish I had brought heirlooms to my new server an...I wish I had brought heirlooms to my new server and stuff to sell. I started with no money at all and it was hard. Ditto the no heirlooms. I'm still debating on whether to transfer a character over there loaded up with stuff.<br /><br />I figure it would be a much happier transition experience with the extra help. <br /><br />Your druid won't feel weird there since it is already Alliance. That would be a good way to test things and see if you can enjoy the blue side. <br /><br />I like both sides pretty equally after trying them both out, though I do still tend to roll blue. Because that is where my Draenei and Gnomes are. <br /><br />I hope it works out well for you. ^^Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524333278511288129.post-55100351565975840802013-04-11T15:16:38.060-05:002013-04-11T15:16:38.060-05:00Further, I like the idea of bringing an alt over f...Further, I like the idea of bringing an alt over first to determine if I like the raid environment. GREAT call on bringing heirlooms and inventory to sell...they're really of no use to me on my current server -- let's face it, I'm probably not going to get around to leveling that hunter any time soon. :P<br /><br />I'm feeling like you may be right on the shaman call. Elepheagle has and will always be an orc shaman in my mind, and I think forcing a change there will be weird. Was actually leaning towards rolling a shaman on their server this evening, if only to reserve the name. Kinda leaning towards transferring my 88 Alliance druid after re-reading your comment.<br /><br />Not ready to quit. Not close. :)<br /><br />Thank you!onetwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00714492925381422700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524333278511288129.post-80372956475591277802013-04-11T15:08:32.042-05:002013-04-11T15:08:32.042-05:00That's good advice.
I think you're right ...That's good advice.<br /><br />I think you're right on the gold xfer question...I need to figure out what that is. They DO have guild transfers now, and we've considered it. The thing that's holding us back is that we no longer wish to be in high-impact leadership positions. These last 6 month have left a really bad taste in our mouths.onetwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00714492925381422700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524333278511288129.post-46114510861249700192013-04-11T15:06:39.964-05:002013-04-11T15:06:39.964-05:00Thank you.

I started by bringing my main over, then my favorite alt and so on until I had all of my high level toons on the new server. In retrospect I should've brought my JC/Eng over first to take advantage of the epic gem and projectile markets, although I still would have brought my main since I like raiding on him more. I'd pick answer C and add that you should research your markets on the new server so you can figure out which order to transfer your alts. Also, there is a gold limit per toon and I can't remember what it is. Did they ever implement guild transfers? I can't look into that at work but that could also be an option.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14614400677572131227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524333278511288129.post-74665930973080597622013-04-11T14:58:50.354-05:002013-04-11T14:58:50.354-05:00Bring one character over to the new server/faction...Bring one character over to the new server/faction and see if you like raiding with the new guild. Load this character up with shammy heirlooms and seed money/stuff to sell.<br /><br />I wouldn't take your shaman because you identify him as being an Orc and don't want to change him. This is understandable. I feel the same about my main--she will always be a Draenei.<br /><br />If you really like this group after spending time with them, roll a new shaman and level it up until you can switch over and raid with him in your new team. This new shaman will have his own personality and feel and you can learn to like him for who he is.<br /><br />Then if it is feasable and you want to, move some more of your alts over--maybe the main gold making ones--when you are able.<br /><br />I am doing this with another DK I created on a different server from my main. My original guild is also on a dying server and while it is ok now, sometimes the people in that guild are very downer and I don't like that. The GM sometimes acts like he might just disband the guild one day and quit the game and that isn't a fun or secure feeling. >.><br />Rather than completely leaving these people though--because they are real life friends and family, I found a new place and started over.<br /><br />I like my new server and guild very much and it was a good choice for me. My new DK isn't my main, but I like her and she is just as fun to play. I am satisfied with her being my main on the new server. <br /><br />Don't stay on the dying server if it feels like you are just making due. That isn't fun and will burn you out fast.<br /><br />Likewise don't quit over this unless you are already so burned out and tired that you just need a break. If that is the case, take one! When /if you want to come back you will enjoy it once again after time away.<br /><br />I think it is important for you to consider the guild, but you have to put your happiness up there too. If you need to walk away from your current guild, do it. Hand off leadership to someone else and start again. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
