Fires of Heaven Guild Message Board - View Single Post - Should guilds on Russsian servers get a free transfer?

Summary for those with ADD:
Russians have made our server an unofficial Russian speaking server and we cant communicate with (hardly) anyone outside our guild. Has anyone managed a free Migrate under these circumstances?

Full story:

This post is more of a query to see if anyone has been in a similar situation to myself and if they ever managed to get a resolution to the problem.

Our guild was originally on Skullcrusher, which had a great community but eventually had huge ques and crushing lag. We were given the option of a free migrate and took it. The new server was great, zero ques, and no lag. Unfortunatly Russians used the news server as an unofficial Russian server and now about 80%+ or more of the people we come across speak Russian only.

A lot of the guys are cool, and its possible to run instances etc, but not understanding what the strategy is for a certain encounter or trying to trade with a window full of crylic characters is a bit fustrating. Even more so now that the 5 man dungeons can be pretty tricky, you can't get away with not being able to communicate strategy.

It was bearable till recently, when the last remaning big english speaking guild
forked up the $$ to ship out. Now not only are we further in the english speaking minority but its getting more and more difficult to find new members.

Anyone had a similar experience? Should Blizzard offer us a free migrate? A paid migration isnt an option for us, as several members have a bunch of alts and not everyone can afford the cost.
