Blizzard has contingency options to address WoW Forever dead servers if a ruleset loses too many players to sustain its community. Those options remain a last resort<\/strong>: separate rulesets are still the intended structure, with intervention reserved for necessity.<\/p>\n

How does the ruleset structure change your choice?<\/h2>\n

Forever uses a realmless structure<\/strong>, with effectively one large server for each ruleset rather than several separate servers offering the same rules. Its launch choices are PvE, PvP, RP and the newly added RP-PvP option.<\/p>\n

In WoW Classic, departures and character transfers left some realms struggling to support dungeon and raid groups or functioning economies; free transfers became an escape route in some cases. Forever's fallback tools instead target the auction house and access to instanced groups.<\/p>\n\n

Contingency tool<\/strong><\/td>What it could change<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Linked auction houses<\/strong><\/td>Connect the auction houses of RP and RP-PvP if either or both populations become unsustainable.<\/td><\/tr>
Cross-ruleset instance groups<\/strong><\/td>Let players from those rulesets group together for instanced content under the same population conditions.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n

These were possibilities considered during development, rather than additions to the current separate-community approach.<\/p>\n\n\n
