I agree that BW should have given us the option to decide whether to transfer to a RP server or a PVP one. However, the move to ToFN seems to be, for me, the best solution to the low population problem. I logged the other night and there were 422 players in the Imperial Fleet on ToFN, against 28 on LC.
Of course I'm sad that i've been forced to move to a PVP server, but that doesn't mean I won't do RP anymore. If the active RPers in LC move to ToFN we'll have a fine community to RP in that server. And i'm not going to use the "players with crap names" argument, since there were at least 3 different guilds with the word "Azeroth" in their name on the LC server..
I played WoW for 4 years on a RP-PVP server and we even had a guild devoted solely to crash other player's RP events and we still had lots of fun RPing.
I need a lvl 50 char to explore the endgame content, but I can RP with a character on any level, so i'll just roll a new one on the Progenitor and move on, whilst doing Hardmodes and Operations with my lvl 50 ones.
In conclusion, thanks BW for coming up with a solution that is only half bad. You are starting to improve!
