I need two minutes of your time in order to enhance everyone's gaming experience:
Hi, my name is rich, I am an administrator @ http://www.TheBGH.com. Currently the BGH community is dwindling but not for lack of players, more so because of the distribution of players across three servers.
I have already sent blizzard the server consolidation idea. Their response was quite irritating. Basically I filled out their support form and I then received an automated email stating that they had received the email but it was in line to be reviewed. Then I received another email about 2 days later:
Thank you for contacting Blizzard Entertainment Support.
We hope that the information that was provided to you was helpful in resolving your issue. Customer satisfaction is a top priority here at Blizzard Entertainment, and we would like your feedback on the level of service you have received. Your response would be very much appreciated.
Here is a link to the survey:

This link is uniquely tied to this survey and your email address; please do not forward this message.
Thank you for your participation!

Clearly they didn't receive enough of the requests I sent to actually read what I wrote. And because they didn't solve anything, so I gave them poor results on the survey. Blizzard uses the surveys for their employee performance reviews, ie should this employee get a raise or promoted, etc.
So here's my plan:
1. Everyone fill this support request form. Tell blizzard to consolidate east/west/euro in to one server in the description field of this link: https://us.blizzard.com/support/webform.xml?locale=en_US
2. When they email you the survey give their staff a bad score for not responding or caring assuming that they don't grant our request. This may seem like a waste of your time, but this survey is actually an important piece of this. The way it works is if the survey fails to meet a minimum score its automatically forwarded to this guys supervisor (this is how it works at my work, pretty standard operating procedure for IT). So not only does this one guy see this request but two--possibly even more.
I think if we make enough racket they will grant our request. If they don't grant our request it's still worth a shot to keep battle.net afloat, considering it takes only 2 minutes to fill this form out.
Thanks for your time.

Not true. Europeans don't play, koreans play (on Asia, U. S. West).

What? Sounds to me like it's your own problem of agreeing what realm your community should play on...
|
what would be the problem of playing bgh on iccup?

You realize that starcraft has been out over 12 years without any change, and is probably not even thought about by blizzard employees anymore, and you are assuming getting one of their employees in hot water will make them invest time money and effort into combining realms for a game they have had nothing to do with for many many years already? No offence, but thats pretty delusional thinking if you ask me.

Asking blizzard if they can combine all of the servers or a "dying game" into one server is delusional thinking? Of course if he doesn't get any kind of response from Blizzard he should be able to give feedback however he sees fit, we don't owe the employees anything. Do you really have to be so dramatic?

Clearly you haven't been around for all 12 of those years, because bnet was quite different in the beginning. There was no gateway selection pre-1.08, so saying it's been "without any change" is woefully ignorant.

Why don't you make your own server using pvpgn and tell all your members to go there? Or at least have an official server/channel
|
There are still many more people playing brood war on battle.net on iccup btw, just throwing that out there.
|
No one plays UMS games on iccup. Just putting it out there.

Why bash this idea if server consolidation? Is it not a good idea? Yes most players who post on this site is on Iccup. But There are still many players who play on Battle.Net. His Orginal idea is to send a e-mail and fill out a survey to help change blizzard mind to consolidate servers. Like he said takes 2 mins out of your life to fill something like this out. Instead taking 2 mins bashing this thread why don't you become apart of a change to Starcraft and its community.

Because it's a change that most of us don't particularly like...

The answer to every question you asked (including the polite request in your last sentence) can be answered by, "I don't feel this change is needed/good/worth blizzards time." Maybe people want to use their time against this cause instead of for it.

I can see where it is implied that I meant there was never any change, however I meant that within the last 4-5 years there as been no updates. Why would 1 person emailing them, demanding they take resources (time and effort) to update a game they have no interest in make any difference? Im merely stating that in all honosty, it's a wasted idea...let alone to ask other people to attempt to help. Nothing will come about it.
