Hey All, With the new expansion on the horizon there are some big changes coming the way for the guild. As you know we've been fairly inactive in WoW for various reasons. But the new expansion is probably going to change that greatly since it means more options, more play styles, new faces, and a chance at complete restructuring. With that in mind, it is in on the table that guild should probably seek a server other than Illidan on which to reside and here are a few reasons why: - Illidan seems to suffer from constant long queues
- Illidan has a pretty poor community
- The turn over rate in Illidan is high (which is both good and bad)
Now the queue has several times messed up on raid nights, and caused other issues. And, knowing that everyone does go to Illidan causing a high turn over rate, has prompted the question. In addition to this question, with the new character models and racials coming out, a question is also raised on whether or not we should go alliance. Changing the guilds racial profile will also greatly impact which server we go to. Keep in mind that not all racial models are released, but this is something to keep in mind. So leave your suggestions below on servers or comments, and toss your votes in. The First question being should we change from Horde to Alliance, this will greatly change the servers we look at:

Hey All,
After some consideration and discussion we're leaning towards moving to Area 52. This server has a healthy horde population. It is also PVE. It should not be consolidated for virtualization, and queues should not be an issue either. Based on this move we've decided to stick with Horde going into the future, for both economic and ease of transfer issues.
The move will take place sometime in the following days. Do not move your character until the guild is moved. When the guild is moved you will get prompted to 'follow the guild'. As with before, if anyone needs assistance in paying for the transfer, I will be glad to assist, just contact Arg. See you on Area 52!

Update,
While prepping for the move to Area 52 we found out that the server has in fact experienced a population explosion. This could be in part to new virtual servers or some other activity. The point being, that not only was this server experiencing queues at the same time as Illidan, but the queues appeared to be in the thousands as well at all hours.
After reviewing some more servers, the new decision is to move to US-Thrall which is a EST server in the battlegroup Stormstrike.
