That's horrible news. Horrible horrible horrible news.

I am serious, I was expecing next week, but we don't even have a release date. I will only be playing here for a month, then you-know-who opens their new realm

WE WON! WE WON THE BATTLE! WE HAVE OUR PvE SERVER YEAAAAAAAHHH WOOOOO- wait, now we gotta wait 3-4 more weeks?



We indeed now have our PvE server, but now i'm afraid that in a few weeks, the hype will be much downed because of the additionnal waiting

TL;DR @ YouAreDoomed.

Get a spine, and stop thinking you know everything reading so much into the internet.

What was a surprise for me, and an interesting point to notice:

Around 2500 ppl on the test last sat? And (if my math is correct) just roughly 16% so called "oldschool" players?

For the pure-PvP-crybears, I have good news: that's roughly 1100 ppl that you *might* say came from Nostalrius Begins PvP - server. (counting from average of 7000 that I've seen often this week)
That means that you still have more ppl to gank then Vanilla servers had total players back in 05 -->.

(7000 - 1100 = 5900 total, 5900 / 2 = 2950(since it's been told ratio is roughly 50/50), which > 2,5k cap)

Well, your ganking *might* be a bit harder, if all that leave are below 60, but hey, you *do* agree that fighting a person the same level is more demanding then gray ones, and proves your über superiority better, don't ya?

I am still firmly convinced that NO difference will be felt on the PvP server, save for less lag and less moaning on the /world chat and the forums when we bail out to PvE.

Hype. Definitely a double-edged sword ;P

On the one hand, we are OH SO GLAD they communicated with us that they are considering the PvE server. =D BUT, did this announcement come too soon??? After giving us a taste, we want that server to go live NOW! Many players aren't even willing to log onto the existing PvP server anymore, leading us to go elsewhere for entertainment until the new PvE server launches.

There was a lot of hype when the project was announced, and the hype drastically intensified once they let us actually log onto a pve test-server. But, was this all done too soon?? Should Nost-staff have maybe Waited a bit longer to release information and/or launch a test server?? Now players are rabidly waiting for the thing to launch, but if it doesn't launch SOON enough, this amazing hype could die out and, dare I say it, Nost could LOOSE players over this whole mess.

ON THE OTHER HAND, if Nost-staff Launches the new PvE server TOO SOON, the effect could also be drastically negative If it makes both servers laggy, if there isnt' enough staff to handle issues across 2x servers, if the new server is overly glychy or buggy or if the existing PvP server's needs get pushed aside... Launching too soon may be an even WORSE idea then waiting! ><

Well whatever the situation, it's too late to go back and change how things have already played out. Hopefully the server launches tonight! =) If not, hopefully it will launch soon, but not before it's "ready" for launch

GOOD LUCK men and women of the Nost-staff!! We in the playerbase really love what you've done thus far, and we wish you the very best moving forward ;D
