So... Let me get this right...
Stratholme has been taken down, permanently or not.
People's characters from that realm are gone, including my own..
People are now forced to play on Nighthaven, which is a pvp realm, that will transfer to TBC at some point in the future?
... I.. Im not sure I like this, I mean yea okay I only made it to lvl 10 on Stratholme, but being forced to start anew on a realm that's going to be a fast progression realm...
On the contrary to what some people might believe, I actually liked the less populated realm. It was much easier in the starting zone to get things done, because you werent competing with a horde of other players for the same quest mobs. And with some of the quests requiring questitem drops from the mobs, it makes it even harder on a fully populated server because of the looting system, where if an item drops, only 1 player can pick it up, so grouping for those particular quests is useless, unless you want to spend even more time on killing at least twice as many of those mobs.
