Despite free character migrations between realms in World of Warcraft, some gamers have been dissatisfied with Blizzard's population control policies. They've even been very expressive about it.
Some gamers believe their realms are still underpopulated; some believe that underpopulated realms should just be merged; some believe that they've been neglected. Although these concerns were answered by Blizzard before, complaints kept cropping up.
In one particularly long forum thread discussing these issues (by the writing of this article, the thread has 53 pages), Blizzard poster Drysc addressed some of the concerns brought up by the community.
In Drysc's post, he explains a few things: why some realms weren't included in the migration, why merging two "underpopulated" realms aren't a viable option, and a bunch of other stuff. It's worth a read. Check out Drysc's reply by following the link below.
