Which realms will be connected

But some of the new realm connections are for RP realms, and in that regard it feels like a generally positive move — more players on an RP realm means hopefully a few more players willing to actually RP.

Not every player on a low pop realm wants the hustle and bustle of thousands of AH rivals, node farmers, and so on. That realm with the one functioning raid guild may benefit from a sudden influx of options but the guild that held on there may well be swamped by the rising tide, unable to keep recruiting now that there are so many potential homes for up and coming players.

This can benefit the majority of players while also being a disaster for specific groups. Overall I view the general direction of realm connection to be positive, but it does sort of obliterate the last traces of old school realm community.

Generally, I tend to view more players able to play together with fewer restrictions as a positive change. The guilds that fail or are absorbed by larger ones.

The competition for resources. The sudden shift in the population of a faction. These are all issues with realm connection, and one hopes Blizzard does make some effort to bring as little disruption as possible when they make these connections.
