I found this message from Tigole while digging the archives. The reason why I’m digging the archives is another, though, and you’ll see it soon:

Yes, we have definitely thought about Cross Server Battlegrounds. It’s a cool idea for several reasons and also solves some problems.

Unfortunately, at this time, our server architecture does not support the concept. That doesn’t mean that there isn’t the chance that someday we could restructure things to accommodate the idea. It’s a cool idea and we’ll keep discussing it.

It’s a “cool” idea? No. It’s a working solution to a core problem of the battlegrounds that seriously need to be addressed.

The fact that its implementation needs work isn’t a justification. We were anticipating and discussing this exact problem more than one year ago. When there was the time to develop the premises that could have made this idea concretely possible and that would have PREVENTED the problems in the first place.

Instead of waiting till it’s too late and the problems arrive as a “surprise”.
