The original post raised questions and raised concerns concerning a myriad of issues, including low population servers which aren't being integrated as well as issues with the balance of factions upon merging, realm merging in Season of Mastery servers, and the possibility of two-week lock on characters among others.

WoW Classic producer Aggrend attempted to address what he could on the spectrum of questions. The majority of his blog being in response to how Blizzard determined which servers would or would not be combined.

"There was a particular threshold we considered and if, over the course of a specific time cheap WOTLK Classic Gold, a realm fell within the DAW threshold and we decided to add that realm on the servers list that needed to be consolidated."
