Almost a year after its release, the Burning Crusade Classic continues to be talked about and forever! It’s almost…with the imminent arrival of the Wrath of the Lich King Classic, players seem to be more and more interested in the first extension of World of Warcraft…so much so that some servers are extremely overloaded. Sure, it’s a fun and enjoyable situation for a single fan to watch, but much less enjoyable for those who “fixed” them. But after literally a few weeks of hell, Blizzard has finally taken matters into their own hands!
Firemaw: an invaluable mega server
The server has been unavailable for a long time Firefly (EN-PvP) It receives serious criticism from many players. This European server, which does not look great at first glance, is indeed the busiest in the world… The busiest server in the world! Its population is such that from 4:00 p.m. every day in the middle of the week, players face the ranks of more than 2000 players. On weekends, things naturally spiral out of control, as queues sometimes exceed the 10,000 player limit in the afternoon.
Of course, it’s a very satisfying point to make, as we explained earlier, to show World of Warcraft adversaries that Blizzard’s MMORPG is far from “dead”. However, for many players who choose to play their main characters in this realm, the situation is really unbearable (And I know what I’m talking about).
After much criticism and complaints, Blizzard recently reached out to all players on this server and invited them to roam in less populated areas for free. For several months now, less populated Burning Crusade Classic PvP regions have been free to switch from Firemaw, but the situation is not improving; on the contrary, it gets worse, and that’s normal: you certainly don’t want to change it.

Full Firemaw Lockdown
But as this wealth has also attracted many players in search of an overcrowded kingdom, Blizzard has chosen to go after it: as of Monday, May 23, 2022, it will no longer be possible to migrate to the Firemaw destination. , and don’t create any character there if you don’t already have one on this server. A new selection long awaited by players!
Even crazier, for the first time in the history of WoW Classic, it is now possible to switch to several servers for free, including those that are already very populated! Blizzard has updated its list of affected areas with the following:
- amenar (TR PvP)
- aggravating (in PvP)
- Oberdin (FR PvE)
- Chromium (RU PvP)
- Earthquake (in PvP)
- always watch (PvP)
- golemag (in PvP)
- some lakes (from PvE)
- Mandokiri (SP PvP)
- Mirage Treadmill (in PvP)
- mograine (in PvP)
- dutch castle (in PvE)
- patchwork (PvP)
- First City (in PvE)
- Razorfen (from PvE)
- razor blade (in PvP)
- sulfur (TR PvP)
- transcendence (PvP)
- venoxy (PvP)
Therefore, many already densely populated servers with surprising options will appear in this list of realms allowed to migrate from Firemaw, and that is enough to entice players of any nationality to leave the English mega server. Specific measures for a situation that goes beyond the simple overload frames observed at the output of each extension.
Still, things are unlikely to return to “normal” in the coming weeks, and Blizzard could find itself at an impasse over Firemaw’s unique situation: if it’s already home to a confusing and unsettling number of players “in low”. , which is going to go crazy. Is it enough to imagine the consequences of an expansion project under these conditions?
One thing is for sure: Firemaw is probably one of Blizzard’s biggest thorns to date, and…they can only blame each other! The fate of this realm has long been known, but no effective action has been taken on the rise, pending the last minute of intervention. Result: Firemaw is now out of control and Blizzard cannot force its players to leave this server entirely to make it more accessible to everyone. To attempt!
