I am not sure why you are so against people wanting a streamer free server. This has been a major talking point among the Classic community even prior to the server list being announced. Streamers are aware of, and have commented on, the fact that some people do not wish to play on servers they are on. That has very little to do with what we think of them personally and more to do with the disruption caused by their hordes of followers. I have personally watched and appreciated the updates from several major streamers as Classic grew closer. People are simply concerned about the effect they are going to have on the server as a whole.

As for the South American player-base, they should have been given their own servers. I think it’s a travesty they were not. However, they got together to decide which server they preferred and announced they would be rolling primarily on Thalnos. As a result those people wanting a primarily English speaking server will be avoiding Thalnos. This is no sleight against them and I wish them the best on the server they have chosen. We are simply trying to stake our own claim.

We are all well aware that we cannot force anyone to bow to our wishes. If major streamers decide that Herod is where they want to be we cannot stop them. If the Latino community decides they would like to join Herod, we cannot stop them either. We are simply trying to find a home server for those of us that would prefer to play on a server free of the influence of streamers and primarily English speaking.

I am unsure why you feel this is somehow hateful or otherwise requires “nerve” of some sort. Different groups are declaring where they will be playing and a large group of English speaking east coast PvPers who are not interested in playing with major streamers will be playing on Herod. Hopefully they respect our wishes and we can all enjoy the game in the way we wish to play it.
